Well, I’m on my way. I started classes in conversational Spanish in Sept. at the local community college. Now I am in my second quarter. I think I will take a break in the spring quarter. The class is only once a week for two hours and the structure of the class is very loose. That is good and bad. It makes it easy to want to go to class, but there is little in terms of planning and formal study. I think that I will retake first and second quarter next year to make sure I am proficient in those lessons before jumping into the third class. Still I think I could survive if I was stranded without an interpretor in a spanish speaking country.
