Hola una otra vez, estoy escribiendo a las once por la noche. Una otra vez, el reto ha sido difícil pero nunca pensó al contrario. En la frase arriba, usó dos palabras/frases nuevas y por eso, estoy feliz. En algunas maneras, mi progreso ya es obvio. Después de solo dos días, tengo un vocabulario másContinue reading “Una semana laboral: segundo día”

Una semana laboral: día uno
Anoche, declaró que estaba poner en marcha un reto que he visto en YouTube: una semana laboral de aprender español. Claramente, es un reto dificíl. Las respuestas de los lectores de esta blog, aquí y en Twitter, demonstran este. Pero, en lunes, empezó. El reto, en corto, instructa que necesito hacer 36 horas de aprendizajeContinue reading “Una semana laboral: día uno”
Una semana laboral: A working week learning Spanish
YouTube. A dangerous chasm in which to be sucked into. Sometimes useful or inspirational, though. In my most recent trip into it’s ‘language learning’ section, I found it to be all of these things and now find myself set for a difficult challenge. One YouTuber who talks about learning languages, the techniques you can useContinue reading “Una semana laboral: A working week learning Spanish”
Week Thirteen: Argentina
For the penultimate time, I’m tapping away at an iPad keyboard that has travelled many thousands of miles with me, through Caribbean beaches, the jungle, El Salar, Patagonia, waterfalls and more. I have under two weeks left in South America. Hola a todos, This time last week I had just returned from Patagonia, my brainContinue reading “Week Thirteen: Argentina”
Week Twelve: Patagonia
I’m sitting in a chair with a cup of tea. This is more the kind of writing style I’m used to, in contrast with last week’s pothole-interrupted bus journey scribing. I’m back in Buenos Aires, back in a big city and very thankful for that while missing Patagonia, which is an enormous area of mindContinue reading “Week Twelve: Patagonia”
Week Eleven: Argentina
I’ve been sat in the same bus seat for half a day and have no plans, nor opportunity, to move for another 17 hours. Forgive me if I ramble on… Hola a todos, This is very much the case of the extremely long and straight road, to partially quote John Lennon. Some hours ago, weContinue reading “Week Eleven: Argentina”
Week Ten: Argentina
There is exactly one month until I leave South America. That can seem like both a long and incredibly short amount of time, but before then, I have more time coaching in Buenos Aires, a 10-day trip to Patagonia and the end of the world and five days in Brazil at the Copa America. So,Continue reading “Week Ten: Argentina”
Week Nine: Argentina
In the week where Manchester’s second and much smaller club won the Premier League title, I’ve never been happier to be 8,000 miles away from home. I’m now seeing how much further away I can get for when one of Liverpool or Tottenham win the Champions League. Patagonia, near Antarctica, is calling my name. MoreContinue reading “Week Nine: Argentina”
Week Eight: Argentina
By the time of my next post, I will have been in South America for two months. I saw a KFC for the first time a couple of days ago, and realised that I have actually been here for a long time now. On my flight to one of the world’s seven natural wonders (moreContinue reading “Week Eight: Argentina”
Week Seven: Argentina
Seven weeks travelling are done and I’m well and truly adjusted to Argentinian/South American time. That’s why this blog is a day late. It’s also being written in the two free days I have off volunteering because of both a strike and a national holiday. They are frequent. Hola a todos, Buenos Aires, as IContinue reading “Week Seven: Argentina”
