I just had to take a minute to let you all know about a program I’m doing right now that is absolutely amazing. I’m going to be doing a regular review once I complete the first ten sections, but right now, I could not hold myself back from giving you a heads up. It’s called, Learning Spanish Like Crazy. Now the reason I think this is great comes from 40 years of previous attempts to learn Spanish….let me explain. I was born and raised in Miami, Florida. I remember beginning in the first grade, every morning started with the Pledge of Allegiance and then a Spanish lesson. So, everyday from the first until the tenth grade I took Spanish lessons and I should say that half of my friends were Cuban. I didn’t learn anything except how to say hello and goodbye. When I was a junior in high school, I took beginning Spanish and flunked. As a senior, I took it again and flunked it again. I was the butt of many jokes among my friends. I gave up. About three years after graduation, I went into the Air Force. Once I got to San Antonio for Basic, all of us were taken in and told we were going to be tested to see how our linguistic ability was. I laughed out loud. After the test, which consisted of grammar and spoken evaluation of some made up language, they had people taking each person in and privately reviewing the results. When they called my name, a nice young man led me to a room and pointed at a chair. He flipped through some papers and looked at me smiling. All he said was, “Do you even speak English?” Today, almost 35 years later, I’m still trying to learn Spanish. It has become almost an obsession with me. I’ve tried all the programs out there, cheap one and expensive ones to no avail. A few weeks ago, I came up the Learning Spanish Like Crazy site and contacted the company to see if I could review it for them. I am currently on lesson three and I cannot believe how much I am retaining. There is something about the rhythm and structure that really drives these lessons home. The most interesting thing to me is that the other night when I went to sleep, I had a dream that I was talking to my best friend who is Cuban and I was speaking in Spanish. It was not like a dream-like, generic Spanish, I was speaking and when I awoke, I sat on the edge of the bed and repeated it out loud! I am so excited about this program and finally feel like I might finally accomplish what has turned into a lifelong goal. I’ll keep you posted on my progress.
