Mad-Mla9: Relearning Spanish

I finally started a site for learning Spanish, or more precisely, relearning it: espanoldos.wetpaint.com.

An excerpt from the intro:

My love affair with Spanish began when I was 8 years old. I studied it in primary and secondary school in Poveda Learning Center (now St. Pedro Poveda College) in Quezon City, Metro Manila, Philippines. Continued with a Minor in Hispanic Studies in Ateneo de Manila University, after which I attended a number of modules in Instituto Cervantes de Manila before flying off to Spain for a three-month course on Spanish Language and Culture at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid.

This was way back in 2004.

Four years of non-use has left me pining for a way to get it back– the ease of use of the language. I want to be able to joke around and say what I actually want to say in Spanish again, even dream in that melodic tone that brings back such fun memories! Es muy viva, llena de amor, pasión, y algo real que está perdido en otros idiomas…
