The thought of giving up on my Spanish class has briefly come and gone. I would miss my classmates too much, my teachers too much, and if Cynthia wants to continue, I just have to press on. It is rather up to my linguistic limit knowing how little talent I have on that department. Today [...]

Our Spanish Teacher Turns to Music for Inspiration – En La Ciudad by Amparanoia
February 25th, 2009 10 Comments
This has got to be one of the most hilarious Spanish lessons Cynthia and I have attended. Not because of the bizarre Spanish reggae music piece that the whole class has to listen to not once, not twice, but … I can’t recall how many times. Rather because I felt so stupid not able to [...]

Spanish Reloaded: Elementary One!
February 10th, 2009 19 Comments
This morning I woke up with a clear vision on how my day was going to play out by the hour – like many other days of my life. I was composing my next blog entry at the back of my mind while showering, while ironing – like any other morning of the week. Little [...]

Passing Our Spanish Beginner 2 Exam at Las Lilas with Flying Colors!
January 17th, 2009 24 Comments
Hard earned, certainly, from that rather challenging Spanish test we had – at least from my point of view. That one scene of 1-on-1 oral test with a Spanish teacher whom was not from our class still haunts me today. But I scored a 86% while Cynthia managed to score 95%. 95%?! How did she [...]

So This is What the Spanish Exam at Las Lilas School Beginner 2 is Like
December 22nd, 2008 8 Comments
Oh dear me, the Spanish Exam for Beginner 2 was mind blowing. I dragged myself out of the bed just hours before the exam, having a fever of 38°C. Oops, that was no good. My body ached (still does) and I have these non-work related appointments coming into my mobile phone’s Gmail application as I [...]

Nokia N96 Test Drive Episode 3 – Coffee Break Spanish
December 5th, 2008 6 Comments
Orhhh … Look at this dreamy picture of that one true beauty, don’t you want to … take one home? I love listening to podcast on the Nokia Nseries. It enables me to download video and audio episodes in the morning wirelessly through my home network way before Apple has figured out how to implement wi-fi connectivity [...]

We Leveled Up At Las LiLas School – Now Onto Spanish Class Round 2
October 25th, 2008 44 Comments
Tres cosas importantes en la vida – which means 3 important things in life – to the Spanish are salud (health), dinero (money), and amor (love). After our Spanish teacher Anna translated what salud means, I asked in all ignorance, “What about heaven? ¿Cómo se dice “heaven” en español? (How to say heaven in Spanish?)” [...]

I Survived 10 Spanish Lessons at Las LiLas School, Adiós!
September 25th, 2008 8 Comments
How time flies when it seems like yesterday Cynthia and I first joined the Spanish lesson. I may only get a fraction of what she got from our teacher Anna, I do learn a lot from Anna’s unorthodox way of teaching – letting the learners subtly define our learning objectives, allowing us to grow beyond the syllabus, and [...]

Answer to That Quiz and My Spanish Class Continues with The World of Verbs And What Not
September 4th, 2008 9 Comments
Thank you for all your creative answers for that little quiz of mine posted last Sunday. It was a great fun just by reading them. Darkspore and TK came really close to the answer of a reflection through a car (though I must say they have the advantage of knowing me in person) and therefore, dudes, I will cook [...]

Band Website Revamped Relaunched, Plus My 5th Spanish Lesson
August 20th, 2008 7 Comments
Before I get to how I honestly, unintentionally got our Spanish teacher Anna blushed in front of the entire class, let’s talk about how I nearly felt asleep during the lesson. I was revamping, relaunching our band’s website http://www.NoEyeCandy.com till two in the morning. See that new banner featured in this post? Besides a list of [...]
