July 26, 2005 — Yesterday I got back into working on my Spanish. It felt good! I have a new MP3 player, which I will no doubt blog about soon, and I put my Platiquemos Español lessons on it. So when I went out for a walk before dinner, it was easy to slip the little thing in my pocket.

It was a little less easy to keep up a steady stream of repeating words as I began my walk… we live at over 8,000 feet and my usual walk begins with a long uphill stretch!

I decided to start over at the very beginning, even though I had done several units while we were in Mexico. The bits I reviewed yesterday were mostly pronunciation, and I noticed how badly I pronounce the r sound in Spanish. But I did have most of the vowels decently enough. Adelante!
