learning habits

Thought that I should go back and talk about my learning habits, such as they are. I'm using #2, accepting responsibility for my learning by taking a Spanish class with Lo Cty adult ed. Finished the basic and learned that this will be a long process. Am signed up for the "business Spanish" next.

Am using #5, creating a toolbox by using all the library material available, audios, books on CD and dvd's. Trying to immerse myself in Spanish. Once again, much I don't know. It's going to take more than two 10 week adult ed classes but at least I've started.

Spanish instructor from Basic Spanish suggested using feature film dvd's in Spanish with English subtitles. That's next on my list.

At some point I would like to be able to at least converse with borrowers and make myself understood. Understanding Spanish speaking borrowers on an elemental level is also a goal.

One of CAS's great aides found a site with a list of library jargon in Spanish. Wouldn't you know that simple stuff like 'checkin' and 'checkout' were not on this list.
