Get to  or surpass Spanish B1 level. 


As for plans, I'm aiming to do 3 months in Argentina in the fall. That should help. 


I’m a solid A2. Been taking in-person lessons the past few months. B1 in a year was a pipe dream. Didn’t really think that through.

After college I was a solid B2/C1 having minored in Spanish. That was 2002 and I haven't really spoken it with a native Spanish speaker since, I would be surprised If I wasn't an A2/B1 area now. 


I can still read it fairly well but speaking and writing would be bad.

Biggest for me is to finalize buying my grandma's farm and move back to Newark.

So are you back in Nerk?

Damn, C1 is pretty much fluent. 


I took French in high school, had zero interest and that was that. I wish someone would have kicked me in the ass and said just take Spanish and don't stop. It would have been way more manageable in my younger years. I can get by and I'm definitely improving, but I still feel overwhelmed at times.
