View original postLet me apologize for not replying for response to my previous post. I enjoyed reading all the responses, but when it comes down to it, at the ripe old age of 32, I'm too old to be disagreeing with people on the Internet. I'm convinced I'm right and quite intolerant of others' political views. But mostly, I don't like it when people disagree with me. I was hoping more to invite other people's stories than a debate.


View original postSo, onward! I've decided to learn a little Spanish. I've been to three Spanish-speaking countries, and while we got along fine with just English, it's a shame not to be able to say and understand some basic things. I'm also planning a massive epic trip to South America in a year or two (depending on how fast my checking account recovers from the just-been-there epic trip to China and Thailand) - this is the nssp part of the post. So I've downloaded all the free learn Spanish apps and working my way through them during my daily commute. 15 mins in the morning, 15 mins in the evening 5 days a week is sure to add up. The bonus is that I'm beginning to understand random words in song lyrics.

Are you learning "classic" Castilian Spanish or Puerto Rican Spanish or Columbian Spanish or any of the other Latin American dialects/variants?

There isn't enough Renaissance-era literature that you want to read? - 20/09/2013 03:53:17 PM 1121 Views
A quick question. - 20/09/2013 05:48:18 PM 1080 Views
I think that is a very subjective question. - 20/09/2013 06:36:50 PM 1064 Views
You would like Leopardi's thoughts on the two languages found within his Zibaldone - 21/09/2013 09:11:15 AM 1128 Views
I will have to look in my copy of the Zibaldone on that one. - 22/09/2013 04:26:11 AM 1087 Views
