Putting My Skills to the Test in Oaxaca

Not long after the sun had set one Friday evening in late May, Leslie and I stumbled wearily out of the Oaxaca international airport and headed toward the taxi stand for the last leg of a long day of traveling. We were on our one and only pre-wedding trip to Oaxaca, the primary purpose of which was to cram as much wedding planning as humanly possible into one 48-hour stretch. I, however, had an ulterior motive: to field test my improved Spanish-language skills.

Rosetta Stone for All the Family

There’s always something you forget to pack. For some people, it’s their toothbrush; for others, it’s their socks. Some people seem to pack everything except the kitchen sink, and I felt like that as I prepared for my trip to California. Upon arriving, however, I realized I hadn’t managed to pack everything. I’d forgotten something very important: my copy of Rosetta Stone Filipino (Tagalog). This wasn’t clever of me, considering I’d be staying with a Filipino family and I’m just learning to speak Tagalog. Fortunately, I didn’t become discouraged during the next few weeks without Read More
