The popsicle stick that is! We’ve been subjected to some strange exercises in order to get our mouths into the correct condition for speaking Spanish, but none have been as odd or humbling as the popsicle stick.
English speakers don’t open their mouths habitually as they speak. Therefore, we have trouble with several of the Spanish sounds that require an open mouth. The popsicle stick helps us “feel” the way that our mouths should be positioned. Of course, both the look and the sound produced by this practice were absolutely hilarious. Click here or on the picture to hear a sample of what we were doing in the classroom. In case you can’t make it out, I’m reading 1Tim 2:5,6 in Spanish

Nice look. I like the popsicle sticks, did you at least get to eat them first? Hope all is going well for all of you. You are all in our prayers. We miss & love you.

No, they were definitely without popsicles. Of course, that may be a way to get us to practice more. Especially if we could get orange cream!

What’s the difference? Ha, ha. Watch out for splinters.
