Had a couple of days where I wasn't as focussed as I want to be, but I got back at it with a vengeance.
Michel Thomas served its purpose, and was helpful, but I got tired of the one person that had issues with the accent, and then Michel lost me as to where he was and I got to where it wasn't helpful. Pimsleur is what I have going now for the mp3 player during cardio time. Here I am walking around the gym saying, "Si. Hablo un poco castillano," and things like that. I'm getting looks, but I'm a gym veteran so I can do what I want. :-) Still doing Rosetta, now on Unit 3 of 4 for Session/Level I. Trying to get an hour a day still...one day at at time. Very much enjoying occasionally breaking into Spanish. Those that I know that speak it (many in Austin) I just switch and they pick it up. I'm catching differences in traditional Spanish and more Tex/Mex lingo, but that is quite fun, actually. "What did you say? No, I got that part, but what was that last word?" I still have to ask that in English, but I'm getting better. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

We have now moved up to movies that are in Spanish but I haven't seen yet. I am really enjoying that as it makes me focus fully and new words are coming to me.
Within the concept of researching topics that I would research anyway, I have found an 8 page article on Juego del Palo, which is a stick fighting style a la the Canary islands that I have had interest in for many years. Now I have a language learning reason to study this! The article is in Spanish, so that will be one of my projects. I am loving this process and am very pleased to watch it progress. 1 person has voted this message useful | |
