Great piece here, Orrin.
At 70 and living in Oaxaca, I can relate completely. I found a teacher here and have been taking private online classes with her for nearly a month. My Spanish is improving, but something about speaking in public to strangers continues to intimidate me. Yes, I too speak a little to the cleaning lady who comes once a week. Hope we both get over our shyness soon. All the best to you.
