Today, I was at a conference, While most of the conference was available in English, I listened to the
translator in Spanish. I was very moved, much more than would be heard in English. The experience gave
me many tears of joy.

That is a great addition to a great log. I remember first seeing this log a couple years ago and hoped that one day I would be able to read it. I just read every post and did have to look up a few words but nothing too extreme. It is a little mark of progress for me. Like all of your posts, they should be required reading for those who are on this Spanish journey.
Thank you.
EDIT: And of course your progress in French has become a thing of legend as well!
:)

Thank you very much. I'm happy to hear you enjoyed reading my Spanish journey.
P.S. Back in the olden days when I was learning Spanish, we didn't have the "vote useful" button. I don't mind if you push it a few times now :) Think of it as an exercise in leadership :)

I finished El Extranjero, which is a fascinating book. I've started on Lord of the Rings. I've also been listening to some other books in Spanish.
An "Advanced Spanish" class is underway once a week where I work. It's a fun chance to converse.
