I try not to live a life of regrets, but one thing I wish I had done differently is take more Spanish in high school and college. I took the minimum 2 years in high school and the required semester in college. I remember going to take the placement test at UT and thinking I needed to make sure I did poorly on this test because I had heard stories of people ending up in classes that were too advanced for them. Well, let's just say I did not have to try and fail that test . . . I did that quite naturally. 😂
Hindsight being 20/20, I wish I had taken all 4 years in high school and continued into college. But I didn't so instead, I've downloaded Duolingo and I'm practicing every night. I don't know that I will become fluent, but my goal is to be able to read some Spanish and have small conversations. I think the Spanish language and Latin culture is beautiful and I love learning all I can.
I don't know that this adventure will be ever be completed, but I look forward to working on it over the years.
If you are on Duolingo, be sure to find me so we can support each other.
