Spanish Learning Diary

but, in English for a while (^^;


  • I want to go to Mexico in July, 2008 for participate ICME-11.
  • So I began to study Spanish on September 23.
  • I decided only to listen a 16 minutes Spanish beginner's MD every day without reading for a while.
  • Besides, I deceided do not use my time more than 16 minutes in a day, and I deceided do not use much money for learning materials.

  • I had a dream this morning. In the dream, I used Spanish one or two sentences. It was my big surprise and I was delighted.     (Oct.23 2004)

  • I found several usefull and interesting websites. One of which provides many videos for Spanish learners. It is good for not only Spanish but also English.

  • Yesterday, one of my colleagues who was good at Korean said "Learning Spanish is good for learning other languages. Because Spanish words have many common origins with other languages." I was very encouraged.     (Nov.3 2004)

  • I have been listening a short Spanish conversation everyday. It takes only one minute and twenty second. So I listen several times at a time. (July,10 2005)

  • I went to a gallery two weeks ago which located in center of my city. The gallery was very small, and there were about 10 pieces in watercolor. The artist is a man who came from Cuba and lives in my city. He speaks Spanish and English, but he speaks Japanese a little.
    To my surprise, his house is near to my house. So I asked him if he can teach me Spanish. He said he would be pleased to teach me. I was happy to hear that.
    Several days after, I met him in coincedence on the way to my home from work. He invited me to come his home. So I went his home and he rent me CDs for Spanish learners. I'm going to study Spanish with him in September.     (July.17 2005)
