Spanish: You got to love it

It is said that Spanish is the most widely spoken romantic language in the world! It is not the first language only for Spain but also most of Latin America (Brazil being the exception). We all enjoy Spanish music and above all I enjoy Spanish football La Liga. I think it is the most entertaining football league in the world it just has a different flavor. So what? you say! Well For the above mentioned reasons and others I dont like to mention I decided to pick up Spanish as a foreign language to add to py portfolio. I have always wanted to learn a third language and I was in a dilemma between French and Spanish but eventually I settled with Espanol. Sorry French speakers but I just think French is not that appealing at least not to me. I mean Why do I have to write something completely different from what I am saying (Spelling and pronunciation in French are just weird).
I started learning Spanish formally as well as informally. Informally through a great website that I found (www.livemocha.com). It is amazingly effective and interactive with different languages on the table for you to pick up. Not only am I learning Spanish there but also meeting and making nice friends. I realised that Latin Americans are very helpful and friendly. Everyone wants to help you learn Spanish they make life easier and more fun. To all of my friends from livemocha I say sincerely Gracias! you are great. I hope i make till the end when am fluent in Spanish and may be visit Spain or Latin America one good day (ya I know dreams).
