Anyhow, now that that's out of the way, the point of this blog is basically that I am learning Spanish in addition to Japanese, now. Or at least, I hope in addition. My schedule isn't quite figured out yet with the new job, so it'll take some time to find a comfy fit.
The main impetus for learning Spanish is that I had a big realization that I really don't want to leave the Mission, and if I'm committed to that, I might as well be committed to getting to know the neighborhood more, and learning how to talk to the neighbors.
The first step is Pimsleur Basic - Advanced. All 100 lessons. So far I've done five and they are moving at a glacial pace. I guess that is probably just because I have taken Spanish before (in middle and high school, although I forgot pretty much everything). More on that later. Too sleepy now.
