Man, I gotta do my research

Turns out Rosetta Stone isn't working. So much for yesterday's vow. Gonna have to put this off a couple of days while I get it working.

Put up or shut up

Being half Mexican, you'd think I'd be at least proficient in the Spanish language - and I was at some point during high school. My dad speaks it fluently and pretty much all of the relatives I grew up around speak it fluently. But somewhere in the tosses and turns of childhood, I was left on the platform as the train to Bilingualville took off down the tracks.

Now, I speak and understand a very meager amount of the language. If I woke up in Mexico tomorrow I could find my way out alive, most likely. But I've resolved to improve my ability. In fact, I've vowed to become more fluent in Spanish for a couple of years, now. But tomorrow I'm going to do something about it, finally.

Tomorrow, I'm going to start a Rosetta Stone Spanish program and, hopefully, stick with it once a day until I'm good and fluent. I'll probably post some of my adventures and follies here, in the future. As for right now, I need to jump into some cold water because it's too hot to think.
