We’re going back to school. Today was my first lesson in Brazilian Portuguese. Our church has enough people that have gone on mission trips in recent months that they invested in some language courses by Pimsleur. Which is very nice because it saves us a nice amount of moolah.

There are 2 courses each containing about thirty half-hour lessons. So, I should be about done by the time we are ready to leave next year. That’s a whole lot of foreign language to sit through…

I’m not gonna lie. Now that I’ve written it out, I am feeling a little intimidated. Not to mention that I was warned that the narrator’s voice drives a person mad by lesson 14 (that is, 14 of 60). It’ll be a fun year of simon says.

  1. I’ve yet to have a language class where the voice didn’t drive me nuts in very short time. Stretching to comprehend taxes the brain unbelievably…but, worth it.
