I'm happy with my progress in Spanish over the last week. Since most of my learning was done solo, I was a little apprehensive. Fortunately I'm not shy!
The first day, I could barely participate in a basic exchange of pleasantries. Today, we had a beer in the little Ixtapa bar where we had stopped on Monday. I talked with the bartender about a variety of subjects, including the relative uselessness of most language classes. Of course, he slowed down his speech for me and patiently waited as I struggled for words, but it was a thrill to communicate!
I'm wondering what I can do to improve when I return home? There are certainly plenty of native Spanish speakers everywhere, so I should be able to find opportunity.
