I am reasonably certain that I am the only person in my Spanish II class who has retained anything from last year. Technically, that's an exaggeration, but it does seem that a disproportionate number of my classmates don't even remember numbers.

I think my Spanish teacher has caught on to this as well. Every once in awhile, she'll come up to me and start jabbering away at me in Spanish. I chatter back at her easily, as she never asks anything hard. We'll have little 30-second conversations, and then I'll realize that the entire room has gone silent, and everybody's staring at us as though we're speaking in a foreign language.
