Setup CD Rom to learn Spanish.
It's hard. The course is set up to speed up the progress. No English. It makes English translation difficult. I had to listen many times trying to understand.
Finally passed the 'word check'. When getting to the answering question (just like Toefl), I didn't even understand the questions.
If it is not too late now, I would go out buying a dictionary. - That's the only way to learn (other than online chatting, but I guess, have to learn some words before starting Spanish chatting, otherwise the whole thing will look like English conversations). I shall buy the dictionary tomorrow.
Thinking of that novel again 'The Broker' by John Gresham. How the broker spent time repeating and memorising all Italian words. It's hard work, but it will pay off at the end.
It's tough, but I like it. It makes me feel like challenging myself. & To gain better control of life.
