Begin! Empieza!

BEGIN!

Here's the plan: each post will be in English and Spanish. My self-imposed rule is that I don't use a dictionary while writing in my second language, so at the first it's going to be pretty rough!

You can use google translate to see how close my Spanish half of the post comes to communicating the English portion. As the year goes on, there should be some dramatic improvement.

Here are our current Spanish-learning resources:
 
We have the first series of Learn Spanish Like Crazy (similar to Pimsleur but goes at a quicker pace), some flashcards and workbooks, and a dictionary and verb book. In about five months we will be heading to Panama for three weeks of Spanish immersion school.
Knowing that we're making this trip is great motivation for us to study! I hope that when we leave we will be comfortably conversant, and that when we return we will feel that we are nearly fluent.

Alright, now let's see how I do trying to say this same bit en Espanol (without the appropriate accents, sorry):

EMPIEZA!

Aqui es. cada escrito va ser en ingles y espanol. La regla para mi es que no usar un dictionario, porque en la comienza es muy dificil por mi escribir en espanol.

Si quieres, tu puedes usar "Google Translate" por ver si puedo communicar en espanol como en ingles. En algunos meses, va escribir espanol mejor que ahora.

Aqui es nuestro libros y cassetes por apprender espanol:
 Hay unos libros, y cartes, y discos para apprender espanol. En cinco meses vamos ir a panama.
Necesito mucho trabajo en espanol antes de salir! Espero que hablar mejor cuando partir, y cuando nosotros regresar espero que estamos muy comfortabla hablar en espanol.

Oy vey. Eso no es bien escrito!
