I love Spanish. Not quite as I do German, as the first foreign language I have learned will always hold a special place in my heart, but Spanish has its good points, too.

It is easy, the grammar goes against all the restrictions they set for us in English, and actually very pretty. There is also the fact that I have better access to study materials outside the classroom. What took me a whole year to comprehend in German, we are studying now in Spanish – after mere months. I get so excited when I am able to pick up full sentences in Spanish from the snippets I hear on TV.

The only thing that disappoints me is that we have not quite gotten into the grammar aspect yet. Then again, as explained by both of my language teachers, grammar does not come into play until the second year of language learning.
