Y'know, I've just indulged in a spell of nostalgia, and I'm realizing that I've probably been rudely impatient with you. I'm remembering just how confused I was while studying Spanish 5-6 years ago... Things that seem intuitive now I had to memorize by rote and... I don't know.

I've certainly managed to assemble a versatile collection of online tools to aid my study in various ways. Or maybe even the Internet has managed to catch up to my needs. I always know where I can look up a definition, examples in context, conjugation, you name it.

Oh, not to mention the fact that I think I started learning Spanish and French within a month of each other, at least on Duolingo. You've shown a remarkable amount of restraint compared to that.
