I have only studied Spanish since April of this year. In that time, I have had very little experience conversing in Spanish - I need to overcome my fear of conversing and have had very little success so far. I just recently retired from Apple, where I was a "genius" and salesperson for 4 years. I am an expert on all things Apple, but not so much in languages yet. I had one year of German in grade 8, but no other language training since then until this year. My hobbies are: learning languages, studying memorization techniques, listening to music, watching TV programs and movies and repairing problems with Apple products. I am also an accomplished scuba diver and photographer.
