Stage two

On Friday I completed two months of language school. I've learned all about the present, past and future tenses, the subjunctive and conditional moods, various combinations of all these, and a few non-verb related things. It's time to stop learning anything new; time to consolidate and practice all I've learned so far. So for at least the next month, I'll be having a private tutor maybe three times a week. The rest of the time I'll either be doing homework or absorbing the language by watching TV, reading books and newspapers, talking with people, and running errands. It's a strange, ill-defined sort of time in many ways, but I'm quite looking forward to it. I still love the Spanish language; I'm pumped to get really good at it; and it's abundantly clear to me that without it I'm not much use to anyone!
