How I did it
It made me
feliz 
How I did it: I moved to Mexico City and started living with a Mexican family. I started to give some English classes, do translation jobs, and whatever work I could scrounge up. Now I´m certified as an English teacher so the whole money issue is easier. I avoided gringos and Brits like the plague until my Spanish got stronger. Then I met Mexicans who spoke perfect English with British accents... my head exploded. Read how I did it…

Do you have any tips for memorizing kun and on reading?
But I’m at it again and on day 3! Almost bought a pack today, but didn’t. I’ve been getting nightmares, small headaches and cravings. Those aren’t too horrible but the dreams are creepy.
