I have about three months left in the US!
Since I am not really doing anything this summer, I've started brushing up on my Spanish by using the following techniques:
1. Talking to Mexicans!
2. Watching movies in Spanish
3. Listening to Spanish music
4. Talking to my Venezuelan cousin Ricardo on skype
5. Doing grammar exercises in a Spanish grammar workbook
6. Reading over my Spanish notes from college... back in 2003 (hace mucho tiempo)
I find that I understand most of the Spanish that I hear, but my responses are far from fluid. Sometimes I try to think of the best way to say something and my mind reverts to French.
Oh and I went to a used bookstore and traded in a bunch of my old books for some books in Spanish, including a yoga book. Maybe I can use it to start a yoga club at my school in Nicaragua! Wouldn't that be awesome?
Well, seeya later!
