Hi all,
I haven't posted in a while, but I've always been afraid of failure as far as school and learning. My motto has been for a long time, I can't learn so why bother.
Sports, I was very good at, school not so much. Today I had to take my son to a book store and I was looking at learning a new language. Right then and there I rolled the dice, and bought the audio books to learn German. I figure it will help my recovery and if I fail, so what for once in very long time I'm gonna try. Well no deep thoughts here, just thinking out loud a little. Hope everyone here is doing well and keeping it strong one day at a time.

Good for you, Mick! Ich habe acht Jahre Deutsch studiert, aber fast alles vergessen.

Let us know how it goes. That's actually a really good idea. I could certainly use a refresher and might look into that myself.

Sounds great Mick. I keep wanting to work on my Spanish, I didn't follow up after HS, and have lost some. Living in Southern California still allows me to hear Spanish, and I can pick out main messages, it I'm nowhere near fluent. I am contemplating studying with my daughter when she starts HS Spanish next year.

Good for Mick...sounds great 💜

Download an app called Duolingo, it won't get you fluent, but it's fun and great to get you started/keep you fresh on basics, vocabulary, etc 😀

Hi Dee
My recovery is going very well, I still do AA every day either before or after work. Found out I really like club soda :-)

I think that's really neat that you are going to learn German. It's a beautiful language.
