Justin and I had our first Spanish class last night, and our teacher is completely blind. It was pretty amazing! She gets around with a guide dog, and someone brought her a chair in the classroom, but otherwise she does everything by touch. She holds up various objects for us to name and even writes on the board. She's funny about it too - "I can't see at all, so please don't raise your hand or you'll be waving it all night." What's more is she's a native English speaker who learned Spanish in school then lived in Spain for a few years. Awesome, eh?
Meanwhile, Spanish is kinda hard. I mean, who has extra letters in their alphabet?!
