281

On the first day (of Get Used To It’s 28) I give them my ‘Why’ (or ‘Red Rubber Ball’). I ask them why they wish to learn Spanish (as if applying for limited spaces). And I ask them to create a Spanish world.

It’s good to get a Spanish name. Mine is Guillermo. You could set up a Spanish-theme desktop background. Hang a picture on the wall—a Picasso? Buy an item of clothing.

I think I’ll also get straight into some reading and listening. I’ll work with Jules Verne’s Around the World in 80 Days. It has short chapters.
