When I met my husband, Mark, I found out that his parents speaks only Spanish. As our relationship 36 I know that I has to take it upon myself to learn the language. It was terrifying, but 37 and I wanted to make the effort. I thought that the best way to show his parents how much I 38 about their culture and their son was to enroll in（注册）a Spanish school in Mexico to study and learn their 39 language. I know, I could have taken Spanish class anywhere, but I 40 that if I was going to REALLY learn the language, I should 　41 it.

On the last day of school my husband flew down and we had a grand party to celebrate my “ 54 ”. Needless to say, my trip to Mexico was well 55 it!
