Return to Blogging

The last month has been completely insane due to my extreme efforts in getting a teaching job. I put in over 250 applications, went on around 15 interviews, and probably drove around 5,000 miles, but the good news is that I got a job and I'll be starting on August 1st. Yay! So, amid all that I had little time for language acquisition, but now I am back at it.

Let's talk about my new favorite Spanish word: vagabundear. In English, it translates to "to drift around" or "to wander, to roam." It also makes me think of the English word "vagabond," which is a word that amuses me. It kind of makes me think of gypsies. Semi-non-sequitor, when I was a kid, and walking off to the bathroom or something, my mom always used to say "don't get kidnapped by gypsies!" So, there you have it, drifting, wandering, and don't get kidnapped by gypsies.

Here's what I want to work on for this week (okay, for the rest of this week).

• Read in Spanish for at least 30 minutes every day.
• Keep building my "Spanish definish" Anki deck and review those words
• Work on Remembering the Kanji
• Listen to some Japanese Pod 101
• Do some reading in Arabic
