I'm halfway through my Spanish II class - I'm beginning to be conversational in this language and while I still don't care for it very much, my dreams have taken on a very convaluted alternate reality. I am reading, writing, speaking, watching tv, etc - but it's all in Spanish. I wake up in the morning absolutely physically exhausted!
I find this funny because I read not long ago that when you start dreaming in a foreign language it must be taking root. Judging by the dreams I'm having, I bet it'll be a mighty fine root - LOL.
I'm still trying to continue my self education in the Czech language also. This language is so beautiful and it comes to me so much more easily than Spanish does. Funny, that - because Spanish is supposed to be the easiest language to learn and Czech one of the hardest, but for me it's opposite.
I'm choosing classes this coming week and I have to decide what to do about language studies. It would be easy to continue on to Spanish III and IV, but it's not a language that's listed as being a "Super Critical Needs" language by the US. Dept. of State. This puts me in a quandry, because the only language my university has that might come close to qualifying is Chinese - but it might be cantonese rather than mandarin. I can continue to teach myself Czech, but it's not on the super critical needs list either - I just love it. I need Hindi, Farsi, Darsi, Arabic, Mandarin Chinese or Urdu. I'm thinking when I can get my head out of Spanish for a while I may try to teach myself one or two of these languages.
Oh well, that's it for now. Time for a small nap and then back to homework for awhile.
