Conversation-2022-01-22 to 07-02

I haven’t reviewed vocabulary in months. I’ll try to catch up.

I’ve taken a lot of conversation classes this spring and summer. I have reviewed my notes now and then but I haven’t written a post in mucho tiempo! This is just a portion of the notes I’ve taken but it’s enough for now.

It’s been a hot summer here. It’s not over yet but it’s mid August and the start of fall is only a few weeks away. I’ll blog more in the winter when I stay indoors most of the time. The good thing is that I have continued to take conversation classes. I haven’t listened to many podcasts this summer but that will change with fall and winter.
