How I did it: My sister started learning Spanish first, and she would teach me as she learned. I picked up the basics that way, then decided to try for Spanish classes. In December 2008 I spent 2 weeks in Mexico visiting my sister, who now lives there, and was able to understand and speak with complete ease. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I first went kayaking with my aunt on Puget Sound in Washington, and it was absolutely amazing - we paddled alongside seals and jellyfish, and watched sailboats slide by. I'll never forget it. Read how I did it…
I recently checked the ‘Teach Yourself Swedish’ book and audio CD set out from my local library, and have so far been doing a chapter a night. The book is very easy to follow, and I’ve already learned a bunch of new words and can already construct simple sentences! I think if I continue studying every day, I’ll definitely be well on my way to speaking and understand everyday Swedish!
I’ve been realizing more and more lately just how much I value being around intelligent, open-minded people. I can’t explain how amazing it is to find people with whom I can talk about anything – be it politics, health, cultures…
Every time I have an deep conversation with someone, I feel I learn something new about the world and about myself. I want to do it more.
I’m constantly worrying. I worry about everything – relationships, school, what to eat, where I’m going to live when I graduate – and I think it’s time that stopped. If I can learn to live in the present, the future will be better, and if the future is better, there is no reason to worry in the first place.
I know I can do this. It’s going to be HARD, but I’m going to force myself to appreciate life as it is NOW.
