I found this site for a fun way to learn: http://learner.org/resources/series75.html I am working my way through. I'm hoping I can get around to some of the other countries in Central America while I'm down here working.Shadowmosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17302898633500446571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9155514213922491267.post-64553119564400941202012-04-17T11:47:04.953-05:002012-04-17T11:47:04.953-05:00Love today's post!

I actually got out of taking spanish in school as a kid! I swear. I should have stuck it out...at the time, I just could not reckon why I needed to know it.TexCynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05174615550131393975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9155514213922491267.post-77220936374577549922012-04-16T12:05:20.392-05:002012-04-16T12:05:20.392-05:00My 16-year-old grandson will be spending some time...My 16-year-old grandson will be spending some time in Costa Rica this summer as part of a mission trip. I forwarded him the link to your blog because it shows so much about living there. I hope he enjoys it as much as I do!Ms Sparrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03417670251423549014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9155514213922491267.post-63130976320472970462012-04-16T07:36:08.632-05:002012-04-16T07:36:08.632-05:00i too have Rosetta Stone and think it is a great p...i too have Rosetta Stone and think it is a great program for learning spanish... just have to keep after it...heyduke50https://www.blogger.com/profile/14927304490275027002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9155514213922491267.post-9028348563283491162012-04-16T01:11:32.303-05:002012-04-16T01:11:32.303-05:00I recall (vividly) getting dragged along to an Eas...I recall (vividly) getting dragged along to an Easter mass once back in Canada (in our home town) and the priest was dipping a palm frond in holy water and dowsing everyone. Unfortunately I was on the aisle and got "side swiped" REAL GOOD. (the poor grammar is intentional)<br />They don't seem to do that here in Austria, but in typical fashion, for any Easter mass, you have to get there early. It was due to this reason that we didn't actually make it this time, since both my wife and I have some "issues" when it comes to morning duties, shall we say? I *think* I would have been OK, but reports were that we would have been in *trouble* had we gone. The nearest restroom is at a Starbucks, and getting in there in a timely fashion is a challenge.<br />Such fun to get old, ain't it? <br />Like, having a heck of a time learning another language.Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03523653271715366168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9155514213922491267.post-15189108390431522522012-04-15T21:28:28.981-05:002012-04-15T21:28:28.981-05:00Mass sounds like a fun experience!
