Okay, Spanish Lessons have been coming slow. I took 3 years of Spanish One when I was in high school. I failed every year because I wasn’t the type of student to turn in my homework or show up very often. I was too worried about learning programming. However, completely by accident, I learned the basics of Spanish syntax, pronunciation, and just little things that are very helpful in my mission to learn Spanish now. Plus, I have a decent vocabulary in Spanish for being as much of a beginner as I am. So, I’m ahead of Yendis (my girlfriend), a bit. But, I have been so busy with work I have only had time for two lessons. So, I don’t feel I’m moving fast enough. I do have a little over a year before I move to Uruguay so I feel I can come up to speed enough to not be fluent but to be able to converse in a decent fashion. Plus, once I get there I plan on getting a tutor to help me learn the native dialect and I’m sure that being there will improve our Spanish dramatically or at least I hope so. I’ll tell you all what, one month after I get there I will write a blog post completely in Spanish! That will gage how far I’ve come.
