Hey buddy. Great to hear that people are changing their lives in order to pursue their dream(s). It's an honor to hear that people do that because of this blog.

As for your question about Galician Spanish: I've searched, and searched, and searched some more, but I couldn't find any shows in Spanish in which the majority of the people are from Galicia. I guess some things you can only learn when living abroad :-(

YAY! I can really feel the love! And oh, there are some links to videos and audio files of me speaking Spanish on this blog. Enjoy!

Hi Kita,

Well, I believe in always wanting to learn. Heck, I\'m not even finished learning my native Dutch, so why would I ever stop wanting to improve my Spanish? It\'s not that I\'m learning it perse, it\'s more that I\'m just trying to improve little things.

Second: Matt is doing the TV method and indeed waited before reading things. The sole reason I started to read early was because I studied Spanish language and culture in college, which required me to read stuff in Spanish. If you can wait and just watch television and listen to music, then do that. I know there\'s nothing wrong with copying a baby\'s way of learning (we\'re just doing everything 5 times faster), so why not wait?

And yes, Ramses is my real name :-)

Good goals. Maybe I'll change mine: 1) Do more pushups (200+ per day) 2) Use my Spanish to seduce Penélope Cruz 3) Learn how to surf.

Feliz año nuevo a ti también, Matt :-)

Nope, people ask me that all the time but it's not possible in an easy way. You guys should set up a community project...

Scott, I think you worry too much. If you misinterpret a word or sentence, who gives a damn? When you hear it in other context enough you'll know you had its meaning wrong and you'll know the right meaning.

Just stop studying grammar and pick it up again when you know something is right but not why it sounds right ;-)

You don't learn Spanish by visualizing it, you motivate yourself by using visualization and then learn Spanish. Also, there are some exercises you can do, all of which you can find in books on NLP (I recommend NLP: The New Technology Of Achievement to get started).

I got it off a free photo site. Can't remember which one, but I didn't have to attribute, so don't ask me.
