I’m learning Spanish pretty well. I figure by Christmas time I’ll be quite fluent. This immersion thing is as good as theory declares it to be. I have an English protog\u00e9, my neighbour\/friend\/coworker Walter. We’re having lots of fun laughing about the b-v interchangeability and -ed extensions.
