I'm doing 29 things
Very glad after years of practice that my Skype language exchange partner said I was fluent during our last call. Yay! I’m still not fluent according to my own criteria as I don’t feel I’ve got enough vocabulary and my mastery of some of the basic grammar rules leads to awkward or halting communication. I’m still a bit fuzzy about when I’ll feel I’m fluent – but my working definition right now is that I’m comfortable speaking in the language with co-workers who are native German speakers. I’m definitely not there yet!

I’m looking forward to taking classes more regularly than I have been – but at least I feel I finished the goal of “take yoga classes”.
Although the book is published on Lulu.com, it’s not public. But we’re happy enough with it that my folks bought 15 copies. So at last this is complete.
