On my mind.

A new format where I go on my little rants outside of scary stories. I’m just putting a name to all my little writings. Please enjoy

My new language adventure. I’m really excited to say I’ve been taking Spanish classes in person finally. With a helpful teacher, my 666 day streak on duolingo can finally be used. My teacher’s method is focused on new studies that have great success on quick speech recognition and speaking. The idea is you have the student fully immersed by creating stories. Relaying stories and continuing conversation. Without focusing on the conjugations, wording and phrasing until the student is a few months in. The classes are completely in Spanish. I’m amazed by my ability to pick up a lot of the conversation. Yet, when I’m asked to speak I still stall and get nervous about the next word. What is great is this is part of the new template. Instead of saying you need to fix this the conversation continues as would a normal conversation. If I have questions I can ask. What does this all mean for life? 

Will I end up using this new found skill? I believe at some point for my job it will expand my ability to speak with communities that I don’t currently have access to because of language barriers. It will make traveling to certain countries easier. It will also open doors to exploring other languages. I want to become fluent in another language. Maybe some day it will even lead to new places to live. I’m already itching to travel and move somewhere else. I feel like life needs some change. To always learn and to always change. To the next step I go.
