Well ... it has been a while.
So what has changed since the last post? A lot! I retired on December 24, 2015. Yay!
The Spanish study has continued with my tutor and it has expanded to include an hour a week of Advanced Spanish Conversation at the local library. Learning has also included me attending the local adult high school so that I will finally, at age 63, graduate! Longer term goals include getting a Spanish degree either here in Canada or in Colombia.
I require 3 courses to graduate. I am studying grade 12 English and grade 11 Social Sciences. (Anthropology, Psychology and Sociology). This summer I will study Introductory French. That will be followed in September with grade 12 Social Sciences. (Anthropology, Psychology, Sociology).
My Spanish tutor supports herself as a French teacher. Let's call her Sylvia. Sylvia is a polyglot. Besides being fluent in English, French, Spanish and German, she is an Ancient Greek Scholar and an Ancient Latin Scholar. Sylvia is a genius on account of her photographic memory! She has three degrees. One in Linguistics and two in Anthropological Linguistics. In addition to tutoring me in my Spanish studies, she will tutor me with the French Summer School. I will get her to assist me in my Social Studies also.
The other big part of my local life is the Tanzer 28 sailboat. It will be a weekend boat while I am in summer school. A nice place to study.
I like learning.
