Well well well in my prelude earlier, I indicated my challenged ability to "conquer" Mexico. So I've decided that I am going to start learning Spanish! How?
Online! I've been learning about social media and what-nots about UCC (user created content) I've found this site REALLY good: Sign up for a free membership and they will teach you basic pronounciation, vocabulary, vowels, grammar etc... Click here for basic conversation. For random translation click here.
Alternatively, you can pay about $270 for 10 lessons at Cambridge Language Centre, 3hrs a week. But I rather do it on my own. That's not a challenge if I cannot do it myself - what's more? It's free! That's the perk about UCC!
Was googling for random information on Monterrey [pronounced as Mont-teh-ray] and I got fantubulo links! ¿no es eso maravilloso? - Isn't that wonderful? They've got interactive maps, bloggers' opinions (all in spanish. crap) places to see, food to eat yah-dah-yah-dah...
I've got some stuff down like 10 phrases but problem is it's difícil (difficult) to remember. So tendré (I will have) to use español (spanish) as often as possible! I think spanish's sentence structure is extremely different than ingles (English) & pronounciation too. C
I'd pray to God for good encounters in Mexico, good strangers to meet and a good and safe journey. Not forgetting good housemates. Amen!
¿cuál es siguiente? (What's next?) Airtickets, Accomodation and Visas - perhaps I will worry about my modules later.
Oh yes Airtickets!
I called STA and inquired: $1280 flat for a 2 way exculding taxes so everything would be about $1780 for a 2 way! Nice price! Just last year it was $950 flat.... see how the crazy airlines regulate their prices every now and then?
At the same time, Im thinking of purchasing the youth travel card. Id think abt it when Tel de Mont's package arrive.
