I was just curious. I am considering trying to volunteer in a developing (Spanish-speaking) country if I don't get in this cycle (or request a deferral). I think if I don't make an effort to learn it now it will be too tough later on in life to motivate myself. Not to mention the fact that it is supposedly more difficult to learn languages as you age.

Some people have a knack for language. It is one of my gifts. I don't have to try to learn a language really. Some people really struggle, but I enjoy watching French TV... it's actually very interesting.

I gotta admit that I'm jealous. Were there polyglots in your household or did you teach yourself all of what you know? My French teacher said that I had a knack for the grammar/intricacies of the language (3rd semester level) but I could tell that my accent was atrocious.

My mom spoke French, Hebrew and English.

My dad spoke French, English, Greek.

And one of my bros also took Japanese, but I wasn't down with the Japanese.

My old roommate used to watch Spanish soaps on Saturday mornings. By the end I think he was hooked! :laugh:

That sounds awesome. I think I should save and get Rosetta Stone, TellMeMore, or another one of those programs.

Cable works. But I hear wonderful things about Rosetta Stone and Pimsleur.

He knew he would have just one chance to impress her...

i like how the 2015ers complain about themselves being the only ones posting in their thread when all of them are posting in ours 😀

i like how you confuse cause and effect 😎 we only have like 2 people who post on a daily basis anymore; making one post a day gets boring. or else you just talk to yourself..

you should, the spanish shows did wonders for my spanish, especially when I was in europe. Its good to watch the dubbed versions of shows that you know, it helps. I saw lots of Bob Esponja in my time in Spain lol. Also, Plaza Sesamo on the the spanish channels here is also good.

*LOUD SHRIEK*



I just got back from my college. Almost got hit twice in the parking lot by two idiots. One tried to ignore my right of way and turned into me and the second ignored my right of way and turned into my car, just missing me by inches.

Is it me, or are most college freshman dumb drivers?

Good. Tomorrow is going to suck though. I have to be at school from 8am to 8pm, and I somehow need to run 8 miles.

Not quite sure how I'm gonna do that. May need to push the run until Wednesday🙁
Click to expand...

That's fine, if you can delay that run!

I'll go onto chat in a few, after I get my ice cream. But did you manage to set up that lunchtime thing?

I'm a slow runner and I have a long-ish commute to school. Getting up at 6 isn't early enough🙁 I'd have to get up at 4, and it is too dark then so I'd have to run in the middle of the street without earphones, which BLOWS.
 
CougarMD said:
hi BW!! How is it going?

I am currently enjoying a post-yoga bagel. With cream cheese. And lox. And capers. And red onions.

Going good here. That sounds so delicious!

I'm not a morning person. I try to get up early to workout - it never works.

Hahahahahahahaha, don't sweat it. It will be ok.

Yeah, I love school after I get back in the swing of things. It's just at first when I'm sitting my 100 year old house and realizing that the only fun thing to do is go to Walmart that I get depressed.

I am depressed for you.

Or is that just the beer I drank talking.
