My experiment with learning Japanese (still going) has made me decide to start learning a little Spanish. Today I ordered my pan dulce in Spanish and apparently did well enough that the lady at the shop just kept on. So I need to learn a little more so I can decline more politely if eg offered coffee. It’s easy to understand shop Spanish. Lots of context, lots of cognates, and 20 years in San Francisco hand me a lot of clues. But what to _say_ is another thing.

Maybe (probably) it’s foolish to try to learn 2 languages at once. But it’s not like I’m trying to pass a class or get certified. I just like to talk to people.
