@hopeful33250 Hi Teresa, I use an app called Duolingo, the free version. It is on my phone tablet and laptop, and stays synced so I can work on it on any device whenever I have a few minutes. I knew quite a bit when I was young, but want to improve because many of our Mexican friends have family members who don't speak English and we like to socialize with them. I have been faithfully doing at least 20 minutes per day for over 10 months. Now I'm trying to practice whenever I can, easy to do here in Deep South Texas with lots of native speakers, TV and radio and signs - and people are willing to speak more slowly if I ask. It will get a little harder when we get to Minnesota but two of our immediate neighbors speak Spanish in their homes, and my next door neighbor teen has been in a Spanish immersion school since kindergarten and loves to talk with me. It drives his Dad crazy when he doesn't understand.
My husband is studying both German, which he learned in school, and Spanish, so his progress with each has been a bit slower. I'm thinking of adding German in case we do manage to take our planned tour to Europe in September.
I'm really enjoying the challenge and the discipline of doing it every day.
