Today one of my coworkers graciously lent me a 10-disc set of CDs called Mastering Spanish — I think these CDs are going to become my new best friend. I’ve become interested in learning Spanish ever since I went to Puerto Rico years ago, in part because I am hispanic, and also because it is such a useful language. And now that I’m going to Spain, I’ve really become motivated to learn.

I think I can become fluent in two months, right? Maybe if I put the CDs on repeat while I sleep, one day I’ll just wake up speaking Spanish!
