It's hard to concentrate on anything because Robin is practicing a song I really like by playing it over and over on the stereo while playing and singing along on the guitar, and I am singing along, too. It's hard to write or practice Spanish while singing (an English song). So pretty.
Spanish learning site of the day - Coffee Break Spanish has 40 podcasts (and growing) for beginners. I am no longer enough of a beginner to really get a lot out of these (at least podcasts 1-9), but I do get some. In the first podcast, for example, I learned that if someone asks how you are, not only can you say bien (well), muy bien (very well), or regular (okay, fine), you can also say estupendo (stupendous - a surprisingly common answer in Spanish) and fatal (pretty awful). I admit that I mostly like these podcasts because they are from Scotland, so I really like the English accents. I also admit that I sometimes practice saying English with a Scottish accent while listening to these podcasts.
