Am I good enough to continue?

After taking one quarter of Spanish without failing, i figured it might be ok to move onto the next level. Unfortunately, three weeks of relaxing spring break is all it takes to push me back to ground zero. This just shows how poor/weak my foundation is. It takes a long time to start out a new language; yet everything can be easily destroyed in matter of weeks.

I have to admit that my first class of Spanish II isn't going well. Not only did I have trouble introducing myself in VERY simple sentences, but also I have forgotten 80% of the vocabularies learned in the previous quarter (there were like only 30 words taught in the introductories level, so you can do the math)

What bothers me is how I seemed to be the only person in class who can't remember or pronounce a thing. However, my philosophy is this: sucking through the rest of classes is still better than not taking the class at all. As long as I am in that environment, I can still pick up something little by little. Since I don't have high expectation for that class, anything is good at this point.

Yes, I will continue sucking through the class. Way to go!
