What’s going on in your county

Guess who else decided to learn Spanish?

March
27

I started taking a Spanish class at Rockland Community College so that I can better communicate with people who feel more comfortable with speaking in Spanish rather than in English.

The first class was last night. Guess who was in my class?

When I was going through my datebook in the classroom, while waiting for the teacher with other students, I heard a familiar voice saying, “Are you covering this class? Or are you taking this class?”

It was Tim O’Neill, a former Stony Point Town Board member who unsuccessfully ran for sheriff in November, standing right in front of my desk.

For two seconds, I felt as if were at Rho building in Letchworth Village where the Stony Point Town Board usually meets.

O’Neill said he always wanted to learn Spanish and decided to take the class, titled, “Spanish for Beginners.”

    You know I think it is a great thingthat you decided to take that Spanish course. It can only improve every aspect of your life. One thing that you can do is that since you have a "friend" in the class, consider working together especially on conversational situations. Rent some Spanish language videos also. When you get to know more people in your class, get them all together for weekely conversation sessions, sort of like a Spanish club.

    Good luck
