relearn spanish

Lately, I’ve been listening to alot of Shakira. I bought her Grandes Exitos CD that has all of her Spanish hits on it. Well, I’m starting to remember a lot of vocabulary that I’ve forgotten.

I’ll hear her say something and I’ll think” Oh! That means ‘worse’, and that means ‘tears’” so obviously I haven’t lost my Spanish, I just forgot a lot of it. It’s such a relief to know that I haven’t completely lost it. It’s coming back!

I just need to keep listening to music and reading the books I have. I don’t think I need to go spend money on disks or anything since I’ve taken Spanish most of my life.

Right now, I’m trying to do so many other things, I don’t have time to sit and re-study Spanish. So for now, I atleast try to listen to Spanish music because in High School I used to do that alot and it helped. Maybe my subconscious will start re-learning for now.

In high school, my best friend and I would constantly speak to each other in Spanish to keep learning it. And then we graduated, went to college and focused on our main interests and stopped doing that. And I forgot it all!!

I love Spanish, it’s so pretty, I really wanna learn it (again) and keep it this time. If I can’t find anyone to constantly speak it with, I’ll just start writing in Spanish =D
