¡Adios!

I did it! I finished the Spanish language course in Duolingo yesterday! Now, and this is the most exciting part, I never have to listen to Junior's FUCKING VOICE ever again! I need to find some new ways to keep improving my Spanish, but now it's a nice wide open array of possibility. For the written word, that's pretty easy, but finding good sources of spoken Spanish (that's not just all way too fast to do much good) will be the harder part, but I'm sure there's some good stuff out there. In other news, Mary Beth and I went on a walk through the neighborhood. A few blocks over we ran into Scott from The Pop Ritual walking his dog to the park. He said hi and I was very awkward but it's cool to see someone and have someone you know as a neighbor.

If you ever want to try your hand at document translation…

It is a good way to reinforce Spanish.

You’d be translating “amenazas del muerte” a lot.

I think I have lots of resources for the written word, it's spoken that I know I need the most work on. Well, I just learned a new word...😢

I imagine I could easily set you up with someone if you want me to look around.

Also, that was a stark reminder that I have gotten a bit desensitized when it comes to work stuff. Sorry about that!

Oh, no need to apologize! I have no problems with it at all. But, no, Duolingo did not cover "amenaza"! 😆 Anyway, I'll see how it goes with what I can find and if I'll let you know if I could use some additional help.
