3 months since last post, but still working. I went to Costa Rica in March and actually used my Spanish. For
normal transactions, things in restaurants and shops, I did fine speaking and understanding. Even had an
interesting conversation with the man who was hooking me up for ziplining. But not all conversations were
understandable ... well, conversations that I listened in on! I had trouble understanding the guides when they
were speaking among themselves about where certain animals were in which tree. "Rama seca, a la izquierda" I
got, but was disappointed to not get EVERY detail of their conversations.

33. Capitulos 34 & 35
34. Capitulos 36 & 37
35. Capitulos 38 & 39


My comprehension really is improving, I'd say near 90% for lots of sections. I repeat for sections that I didn't
quite understand. There is one character, however, an older man, that I always have trouble understanding!

Not doing as well reading, however. I've actually read about 100 pages since last reading post, split between 2
books. It's not lack of interesting material but time that's holding me back on this part of the challenge.
Hopefully, with the end of school in 8 DAYS (yes, I'm rather excited about that!), I can devote more of my quiet
morning time to reading.

Will also admit to a bit of wanderlust. Have been listening to Italian with Michel Thomas in preparation for our
summer vacation!

School is officially over for the summer & I hope to make some real progress in my reading. Have also been
trying to wrap up my telenovela. I admit, I'm hooked! Not that's it's great drama, but I love how they kill off
characters! Fall from a balcony, car accident, asthma attack, and hitting head on a desk after being pushed!     
Downtown Abbey it isn't, but I'll finish it within a week or 2, I'm sure. Fun to see a character from Destinos,
which I watched last summer, have a different role here. I also recognized Juan Soler, the lead actor, in a recent
People en Espagnol. This must have been one of his first roles.

May Update

I already talked about some of these on my log. All of these were good except Thérèse Desqueyroux.

66. Dans la maison (François Ozon, 2012) - A high school student infiltrates a normal bourgeoise family in order to write about them. It's an emotional thriller about voyeurism, obsession, and desire:

67. Tu seras mon fils (Gilles Legrand, 2011) - High drama in the Saint-Émilion wine country.

68. Thérèse Desqueyroux (Claude Miller, 2012)

69. Les cousins (Claude Chabrol, 1959) - A good boy from the country moves in with his very, very bad cousin in the city. Fast times and wild parties follow.

70. Potiche (François Ozon, 2011) - Catherine Deneuve is a potiche, a 1970's trophy wife, who takes over her husband's factory. It's a light comedy, but thoroughly enjoyable. I think Ozon might be my new favorite French director. This clip, where Deneuve meets up with Gérard Depardieu's communist mayor in the local discotheque, is a good example of what I like about his style. It's totally silly, but full of heart.

Arsenio Campos. He played the son who had the wife with the gambling problem!
