Why is this latest package so so cool?1. It came from far, far away (the little Hong Kong stamps nearly made me cry)
2. It's a fantastic book about how to learn a language, any language. I would recommend it highly. (Or ask Paulie, the original guinea pig)
3. It was sent to me by Chris Lonsdale, author of the book. It's cool enough getting a signed copy of a book in the post from the author, but here's why I'm really excited. I was featured in the Acknowledgments page, just how cool is that (ok, cheap thrills, I know).
Ok, closing thoughts. Learning Spanish has been an incredibly fun and powerful experience. Seeing the world in a different way and the absolute high of being able to connect with people and relate to a new culture. Makes me want to do this again and again.
2006 Language Goals: Keep working on the Español. Improve Tamil & Urdu. And learn Mandarin.
Lofty maybe, but it's such a fun thought!
