Chops talked me in to learning a foreign language and by way of helping me out with it has picked it up as a secondary skill. I've been doing okay with the Svenska, the last few weeks have been jam packed with drama so I've fallen a little behind. I know how to hold a basic conversation and how to ask "Where the Hos at?". I've been working with the Pimsler audio method and have mastered the second lesson. My nine year old daughter has been picking it up as well, minus the "Hos" thing...but they can't make you proud all the time.
Why Swedish? Because Vikings kick ass and if you don't agree I will burn your women and rape your village...see, I still have a lot to learn. Oh, also, my family is descended from there. While looking over some swedish podcasts I ran across a guy that looks exactly like me, which is very motivating. If I am going to kill him and steal his identity to bone the hot girl beside him then I should probably speak the language.
I'm also working on professional development and am currently learning Python. There is an larger goal there which I will reveal at the end of the year. At present the only people that know are myself, Chops, and an Indian shaman from the Jersey Shore named Ned.
That's about it for now. I have booze to drink and a phone to root.
Welcome back!
ReplyDeleteDon't forget, remad's even better with python than I am, so if you get really stuck, you can post here and he'll give you a hand.
