After a three year absence to study Spanish






It seems there isn't time to write a blog when studying Spanish at the Open University. Neither is there that much to comment on. Suffice to say there were exams, essays, on-line tutorials, a summer school, lost weekends, lost evenings, mislaid friends, new OU friends, several trips to Colombia, and shelves that warped with the weight of Spanish grammar. And come December 2014, the ping of an email with the results. I can now officially put after my name: Dip. Spanish (Open). And I can (proudly) say that I gave several presentations in Spanish in Colombia about Scotland's world leading climate change policy. And that's it. Oh - and I can speak, read, write, in Spanish. Now there's a thing.
