Spanish Two

It's midnight and I should be in bed. Yesterday I went to bed at 2AM today. Or to say it another way, I didn't go to bed yesterday. But yesterday, I was online with my Spanish tutor for 5 hours, then she sent me two quizzes to complete—about 4 pages each. 

Today's online session was about 4 hours. I can study for only so long before I begin experiencing brain fog. As one of my readers noted in a comment, verb conjugations are tough. English has 12 tenses; Spanish has 14 tenses. But there are three main tenses: present, past, and future. Pick a verb tense, and for that tense there are first person, second person, and third person, for both singular and plural uses of the verb. That's a lot to learn and recall. But I'll keep truckin' and see how far down the road I can get. Even with beginner grammar skills, Spanish speakers hopefully will understand what I am trying to say. Communication will occur. "I go now" or "I eat now" will get my point across.

I've also identified some Spanish-language TV shows online that are designed to teach Spanish. I'll give those a try. Watch TV and learn. Certainly, many people have learned English that way.

In the middle of this, I have to paint the bathroom and make some faucet repairs. And I think one of the heating elements in the water heater has gone out; the hot water goes from hot to warm much too quickly. I have a list of little jobs that have to get done. Now it's 1AM, meaning tomorrow has become today, and I must get into bed and try to get in a few hours of sleep before morning. ¡Hasta luego!
