Daubts about architecture.

Recently I have some doubts about my choice of faculte. Few years ago, three I think, I get into University in Poznan. It should had been my dream faculte: Finnish! But I decided not to go there and start architecture studies instead. Now I started to wander if I made the right desicion. You see, I realised that, what I want from life, what I realy, realy want is to study languages. I have some ideas and plans how could this work even now. In next year thay will open this faculte again on University in Ponan and it would be during my last year of architecture studies. It could be hard for me to reconcile studying in Poznan and getting my ingeneer degree in Gliwice, but nothing is impossible! Heads up!
Now briefly about my "Spanish mission". Anki is still really helpful, but kinda boring. Busuu.com gave me a lot of opportunities to chat with natives and that is great. And two days ago I put my announcement on mixxer - www.language-exchange.com and I will talk to Spannish native speaker in next week via Skype.
I almost forget to tell you that I found some good alternative latino/spanish music: Furland and Pinker Tones!
See ya! Hasta la proxima vez!

Getting along with natives.

Yeah, that's right, you heard me! I, the beginner in this Spanish journey just started to talk to natives. Oh, maybe it is not strickly talking but rather chatting on busuu, but still. Busuu is a great place for meeting natives and I really didn't know, that it could be so easy! I met a guy, Peruvian, who lives in Italy and also loves learning languages. I really enjoy chatting in Spanish, it's not so difficult if you really want to do it! Optimism is my second name now, couse I finally encourage myself to do things, not just to talk and think about doing them. The next thing I do now is this course which is free for one week, so I want to try it out. Authors say that it can teach you speak fluantly in 8 weeks - SpanishRapido. We will see. Or not, becouse I just limit myself just to use content which is totally free, so I probably won't be using this course after this free period.
For now I can say, that discover busuu was a blessing for me! I recommend it keenly!
Hasta luego, mis amigos!

My first post here, guys!

Briefly about me and my mission here. My name is Agata and I'm from Poland. I want to learn as much languages as possible! Simple as that.
The only one that I claim to be advanced in is English. I think it still need some improvement, so I try to watch movies in original, sometimes with original subtitles, sometimes without them. I want to read Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince  in original since it is probably the only english book that I own.
The language that I want to learn now is Spanish. I took a curse on my Univesity for two years but I don't really focus on it so few days ago I started to learn vocabulary with this program - Anki. Also I want to learn from course "Spanish in a pill" but the sound isn't working right now, so I must figure out how to fix it!
The thing that I most enjoy now in my "spanish mission" is singing spanish songs. I just open the lyrics and try to understans as much as I can, then check out the translation or translate it myself. Right now it is Juanes, whose lyrics are quite simple. If you know any Spanish-singing artist or band and would like to recommend it feel free to do it in comment section below.
One more thing, my inspiration is Benny the Irish polyglot. Check out his blog here: http://www.fluentin3months.com/
This would be all for tonight! See you next time I hope with some more Spanish vocabulary in my head! :)
