6 Months to Spain

My plan for the next 6 weeks is to focus on this series I picked up: Discover Spanish. I downloaded a few of the podcasts and loved them so much I picked up the entire training series. I’ll be practicing most mornings and listening to the podcasts on the ride into work. Finally, I’ll be researching the places mentioned in the series. I’ll be using this blog as a venue to report my findings and progress once a week.

6 Months to Spain: Week 12

Thanks so much for joining me for week 12 of my 6 Months to Spain series. Last week, I finished the Discover Spanish system as was searching for a new system to work with. I had a lot of choices because my husband tried to pick up Spanish before… which meant he bought the lot when it came to Spanish guides. I chose the Berlitz Spanish Guaranteed collection of CDs, so I can continue to practice on my commutes. The first two CDs were missing from the stack, so I started with CD 3 and have so far covered Unit 5: Offering Food and Drink and Unit 6: Buying Things in a Store.  I am finding it trickier to work with this system. I have to go over each lesson twice because it is very fast paced and you can’t always understand what the people are saying (reviewers on Amazon also mentioned the same). Continue reading
