Has it really been a month since my last post?!
So much for learning 12 new words a day, huh? Well, actually a lot has been going on here, no surprise. Since I'm applying to teach in Belgium next year, Paul is helping me learn German!
That means, I'm taking this blog step-by-step through all my vocabulary units. Besides, the best way to learn a language is through repetition, so writing it here is one more etch into my memory :)
