a) translate the spam texts I receive.
b) understand what's happening when I surf the radio.

Duolingo has finally gotten me in the habit of practicing Spanish daily.

| At least it's been 3 weeks of something like this. I give myself weekend forgiveness if I'm not by an internet connection. |
And, for the first time since high school, I'm honestly enjoying learning another language. They've done a great job of setting up the site like a game--pulling on the same sort of motivation that kept me going on Chip's Challenge back in middle school. I feel like I might actually be learning Spanish. (Though my favorite sixth-grade native speaker will laugh and correct my pronunciation when I tell me, "Mis zapatos son negros.") Figure it's time to set a couple of goals for the world beyond my computer.

Cuando yo tengo el internet.
(I translated that on my own! And then got Google to correct me. Saying I didn't practice for three days when I was at a conference is way beyond my skillset though.)
