Okay,so, I'm moving in with just Spanish housemates next year, so I figured it would probably be kinda mean to expect them to speak English all the time if they want me to understand them - so, I figured I'd try and learn at least a bit of Spanish so that we can all communicate with each other in their 1st language, seeing as, y'know I will be in the minority having English as a first language lol.
Only problem is, I'm ridiculously lazy, and generally quite bad at languages. Figured if I had a concrete place that people might see to post what I did in my language-learning journey, that it'd give me that extra kick up the arse to actually do shit.
I'd be happy to have anyone else trying to learn a language along for the road - who knows - maybe we can get a few of us all keeping tabs on each other to make sure we're making good progress in our language learning goals! :)
Anyway - here goes, what I did today towards starting to learn Spanish -
-Made a Duolingo account and spent 20 minutes on there
-Emailed the language centre at my university for advice on learning a language and what resources are available
