Buenos Dias

My spanish is improving, or at least I'm progressing with the lessons. 
Actually, I am now at lesson 6 but I am going back to do some rehersal of lesson 3-5.
The first lessons, which mostly covered greetings/goodbyes and then introducing your self and saying where your're from, I think I have a good grip on now.
What I need to learn better now, is familiy members and numbers.

I have learned e.g. to say:
Hola, ¿que tal?
Me llamo Lars, soy de Noruego, y vivo en un piso en Lørenskog.
Tengo una hija y tengo un hijo, se llaman Klara y Birk.
Tengo una madre y un padre, se llaman Berit y Terje.
Se vivo ahora en Lørenskog.

As you can see it ain't much yet, but I feel the progress is good. I have learned the main parts of the five first podcasts, but I feel I should go back and reherse now to learn all the words in those podcasts properly before proceeding further.

Spanish improving

Our Man In Granada has a really nice blog about Nicaragua in South America.
As I was browsing through his site, I realised it could be a goal for testing my spanish skills.
I am now on lesson 4 of  CoffeeBreakSpanish, and as I have become a premium member,
I also have the bonus material to learn from. Exiting!

I have a friend who lives in Mexico (hola Ronny, ¿que tal?), and I just figured, I wanna go on
a journey through South America. Something like Ernesto "Che" Guevara (did you know
his nickname "che" means "hi", and he got it because he was so friendly and nice and said
hello to everyone?).
I think such a journey (perhaps by car though, so I can bring my kids)
would be the most awsome way to improve the spanish, so maybe I'll start saving and go.

Hola, ¿que tal?

Fenomenal!

I have just discovered CoffeBreakSpanish, and I love it!

One of my goals is to learn a new language, and I was wondering if I should:
a) “Re-learn” and become better in german
b) Learn spanish
c) Learn italian, as a friend has told me that’s the way to go

So, after pondering on this for a while, I it slipped out of my mind, and I ended up with alternative d (not on the original list): let it slide and put it off till later.


But that was before I discovered CoffeeBreakSpanish.

This site has free podcasts which seems to teach you all you need to know about the spanish language.

So far I’ve listened to session 1 & 2, which are very basic, but I’ve read ahead to see what the future podcasts has to offer, and it seems like there’s some great and (to me) pretty advanced stuff coming.


So, finally I’ve started on learning my fourth (1. norwegian, 2. english, 3. german) language, and I am very happy with it.

I also discovered a great online dictionary, WordReference.com, which might be of great assistance, since the podcasts doesn’t learn you have to spell the words you learn.

Actually, there is a premium membership, which hopefully gives you that as well, but I haven’t decided to buy one yet. I reckon I will though, because this was addictive :)


Hasta luego!!
