Glad I Created This Blog. TIP

So every day I try to speak a little, read a little and learn a little more in Spanish. This blog forces me to work in Spanish almost everyday. Today was one of those days that I may not of made time for Spanish study. Because of the blog, I had to make time today for a couple posts.  I'm really glad I decided to create this just for that reason !

When learning a new language, you should take advantage of every chance you get to try and use it. Don't be embarrassed, don't worry that you might make a mistake,  and if someone makes you feel uncomfortable, just tell them you're learning.  A simple "Estoy aprendiendo español" "I am learning Spanish" will usually get people to lighten up a bit. The more you use a language the easier and more second nature it becomes.
