Teaching myself spanish

OK, so I am totally missing Mexico. We haven't been in just over a year and it seems like way too long to be away!

Since our next trip will be our 4th time in Mexico, we have decided we are going to stay in a more authentic area so we can see the real Mexico!!! In order to do this, one or both of us need to know Spanish. Absolutely determined to see the real Mexico, I stepped up to the plate and have been teaching myself Spanish. I have a DVD I watch over and over, I have flash cards I work on each night, I have CDs loaded into my mp3 player that I listen to while walking.

Admittedly, even with the hours and hours I have already put into it, it is a very slow process. I can count to 100 easily, greet someone, and ask how much something is, and that's about it!

I have given myself one year to learn a comfortable amount, then we will book the trip!

I am so excited!!! I think this will be the best trip to Mexico yet!!!
