Oops, skipped a day.
It's been 1 week since I started this. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
No really, that's kind of an accomplishment for me.

To follow up on my last post, I've been looking into different learning techniques and such which involved the website "fluentin3months.com" The name is misleading. It's not one of those really long pages with a Paypal link at the end asking you to buy some BS digital course. It's the blog of someone who's become fluent in many languages and discusses what he's learned about well... learning. It inspired me and made me aware of the ways I can improve language acquisition. If you've ever had any interest in becoming bilingual or multilingual, seriously, read through some of it.

Following that, I found (or possibly rediscovered, unless that's deja vu) busuu.com, which isn't the holy grail of language learning programs, but it sure is satisfying to see the little progress animations. The instant messaging system isn't half bad either, at least when the native speakers aren't completely conspicuous about hitting on you. Combined with "Breaking Out of Beginner's Spanish" and some bonafide dedication, I think I can do this.

I suppose it's quite ironic that I'm finally putting a serious effort into learning Spanish a week before I receive the results from my IB Spanish test. Oh well. I'm sure the benefits of actually learning it will far outweigh a ticket into a slightly higher college class.

In other news, my friends are back in town and that's exciting.

It shouldn't be this close to July.
