Hello Spanish learners. Well, it looks like the new web site is in good shape and the new blog is taking shape as well. Right now, the plan is to eliminate the old blog within about a week and just use this one. Today, I spoke Spanish at a lavanderia with a person from Bolivia. He did not speak English, but that did not matter. Eric
