[Evans, Marv]

I started learning Spanish after the age of 32. Learning a language is a great way to challenge yourself. I haven't really used it in a very long time, just on rare occasions now. When I was able to use it frequently, one of the rewards was getting to detect the individual personalities of the people you come into contact with. I used it traveling in Mexico, Spain, & Central America decades ago. Traveling is where it's most rewarding. The best way to improve yourself with a language is to immerse yourself in it as much as possible. Picking up certain phrases on how things are said is interesting, as in - Oh! That's how they say it. Go for it!
