Hace mucho tiempo que no estudio aqui en SpanishPod, pero tengo que recomenzar con mucho mas energio!
The reason being that I am embarking on some new, important projects in my life that require languages, especially Spanish. (What better projects are there?
)
First, I have been admitted to graduate school full-time, and am going to be pursuing certification in translation from Spanish to English. This means getting my Spanish back, not just to a level where I can chat with friends, but to a level I can work in professionally. (No pressure there
) I'm starting out with Lower Intermediate so I can reinforce lost grammar neuroconnectors in my brain, and work up from there.
Second, I have begun to take lessons in Argentine Tango
I love, love, LOVE Argentine tango. Me encanta! Especially when I get to dance with a handsome man that leads well Lots of Spanish speakers in the milongas, as you might imagine, so I'd better get practicing if I want to become "hot property" in the milonga circles.
Nice to be back again, and I hope to reconnect with friends and make new acquaintances here.
