53

I’ve spent an average of 20 minutes a day on Spanish this month. My achievements:

I’ve gained a ‘sense’ of the language—its sounds, spelling conventions, rhythm, and word order. The other evening just before sleeping I found myself chanting ersatz Spanish in my head the way that my son imitated speaking with his grandparents on the phone at the age of two.

Specifically, there're a number of words that I’m well on the way to knowing. I feel comfortable with Spanish. I’ve started a relationship. 

I’ll copy out the final six BookBox stories. Then it’s on to Harry Potter!
