It felt like yesterday when we returned home with two certificates. A moderately hard earned albeit minor achievement in our routine life. Now that I am reading that entry I wrote back in January, have you noticed how much the certificate’s template has changed? From that entry, I notice that Cynthia and my scores don’t [...]

¿Qué Hiciste Ayer, Qué Ha Hecho Esta Semana?
August 21st, 2009 13 Comments
OK. Forget about plan A and B. I am running out of time. Plan C is to semi-cheat (it is semi because I have actually worked for this). When our teacher momentarily leaves the classroom tomorrow, I will quickly pull out my phone and hit this page. Ah ha! That will most likely help me [...]

The Art Of Conjugation (Be Back After Our Spanish Exam!)
August 21st, 2009 9 Comments
How time flies. Just about a year ago we have started learning a new language. That was before I have started my photography hobby. And it seems that I have been taking photos for ages. Getting things into rhythm does have its merits. Before I knew it, I have clocked in 80 hours of Spanish [...]

Snippet Of My Life Episode 20 – Extreme Idol, Extreme Sport, Extreme Spanish Verb
May 27th, 2009 2 Comments
Extreme Idol So Adam Lambert didn’t win the title. On the next day, I briefly joined the countless of fans reading through hundreds of comments easily found in the Internet. It was as though we all need a global support group, to hear that common voice. Majority of the younger audience these days probably won’t [...]

Spanish Supercharged: Elementary 2 @ Las LiLas School
April 21st, 2009 8 Comments
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 [...]
