Did it in Spanish 6 months ago

I did this on a recent trip. I knew very few words, other than what you might pick up on TV or something. The first few days were pretty much reliant on a lame phrase book and gesturing. Within a few weeks, we were able to have very simple conversations consisting of more than just requests related to food, lodging, or transportation. I was sorry to go home, my proficiency was really increasing. I’m sorry to say I’ve already lost a great deal of what I picked up due to the lack of opportunities to practice.

take the stairs (read all 4 entries…)

The Elevator is Dead to Me 7 months ago

I have started taking the stairs at work (5 stories) two at a time. I really should check this one off as “done”, but I feel like it’s a challenge to keep at it. Some days the elevator is awfully tempting.

Learn another language

Had short-term Spanish immersion 7 months ago

I picked up plenty of Spanish during a recent 3 week trip to South America. Pity I have no real means to keep it up.
