Alice Feb 5

Alice is posting this ahead of the scheduled start of Feb 8 to lay the ground>

Language - Spanish
I have been (unsuccessfully) learning Spanish on my own for the last 6 months. Unsuccessful because I did not have the will power to keep doing something for 30 minutes every day. I have two guys in the house and friends speaking Spanish with different degrees of proficiency, so this is one motivation to join the club. I also want to enjoy my favorite Shakira songs more. I also love Spanish and Mexican food, so would like to be able to read menu with better efficiency.

Target -

1. learn the basic pronunciation
   
2. learn some basic grammar
3. can read a restaurant menu
4. can catch some words in lyrics
5. can understand some words/phrases from children's picture book (I already had a Spanish version of 'Where the Wild Things Are').
   

This is the Spanish verison of Roy Orbison's Crying, by Llorando - Rebekah del Rio, enjoy!






Lyric (from hotlyrics)
Yo estaba bien por un tiempo,
volviendo a sonreír.
Luego anoche te vi
tu mano me tocó
y el saludo de tu voz.
Y hablé muy bien de tu
sin saber que he estado
llorando por tu amor (x3).

Luego de tu adiós sentí todo mi dolor.
Sola y llorando,
llorando (x3).

No es fácil de entender
que al verte otra vez
Yo seguiré llorando

Yo que pensé que te olvidé
pero es verdad es la verdad
que te quiero aún más,
mucho más que ayer.
Dime tú qué puedo hacer
no me quieres ya
y siempre estaré
llorando por tu amor (x2).

Tu amor se llevó
todo mi corazon
y quedo llorando
llorando (x5)
por tu amor.
