Mea culpa

I've been a bad, bad blogger. I've been posting to my regular blog, but not making an effort to write anything original in Spanish. So, nothing here.

Plus I've been busy with this class I'm taking -- Introductory Arabic I. It's harder to master than Spanish or Russian was, for a variety of reasons. First, it's a part time thing, unlike earlier languages that were studied full time while I was in college. Second, the right to left is utterly unfamiliar, along with an alphabet that doesn't equate to the Phoenician alphabet that the Indo-European languages use. Even with Russian, a lot of the Cyrillic was similar. Not so with the Arabic script...which is quite beautiful, I think.

My new resolution -- translate my other blog into Spanish. Even if it isn't original or the same as writing creatively in Spanish, the translation should give me practice.
