Anyhow, Teresa may be a real person. She may be a friend that I met through Mother. She may, on the other hand, be an alter ego for myself while I learn Spanish.
Anyhow, I have set some goals for myself in re-learning the Spanish that I took in high school and college, only learning it to be able to speak it. I MIGHT try to find someone to talk to. I probably ought to also try to reconnect with some of my classmates from high school… Or not. Irregardless, I have, as Teresa Paz set some goals for myself for the next two weeks:
- Go to <http://www.grimmstories.com/es/grimm_cuentos/el_tambor> and read that story aloud for five minutes daily. Yes, I still read Grimms fairytales, especially when I'm trying to learn something else while I'm doing the reading!
- Listen to <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VniS1NXAurU> daily until I can sing along. (No comments about how I don't watch chick flicks and romantic movies! I will do it to learn Spanish, especially when it is attached to music. Besides, THE NOTEBOOK was not the most hideous thing I've seen… It just isn't Apollo 13.)
- Watch TV in Spanish for a minimum of five minutes daily, just to get my ears accustomed to the sound of real speakers speaking. Maybe <http://wwitv.com/tv_channels/b6434-RTVE-1.htm> will work.
- Come up with questions that I would ask a person IN SPANISH, IF A NATIVE-SPEAKER WAS SITTING IN THE SAME ROOM WITH ME.
- Another song to learn <http://www.albumcancionyletra.com/el-pescador-de-hombres_de_jose-guadalupe-esparza___84733.aspx>.
- … And another one <http://youtu.be/xxe-8Iw9OW0>, and I don't even care that it is for children.
- Yet another <http://lyricstranslate.com/en/el-tiempo-que-te-quede-libre-free-time-you-have-left.html>. I know that I've heard this one. I just never knew what it meant. If I need it with a male voice, it is also here <http://letras.mus.br/luis-miguel/26152/>
