Learning the Spanish Language

I bought a book entitled "Easy Way to Learn Spanish" to get a hang of it myself. The book does not only contain some basic Spanish phrases like buenos dias (good morning), buenas tardes (good afternoon), estoy muy bien (I'm fine), among others but is also a dictionary itself. Slowly but surely, I'm very sure that I will learn the language. I don't have timeframe to learn the language fully, but at least I'm starting now. Daily will I pick up some Spanish phrases, memorize them, and write them down to a Manila paper posted on the wall around my computer area at home. In this way, I will have a glimpse of what I memorized the previous day.

More than 300 years ago, Spanish was our second language until 1898 when the Americans formally ceded our country from Spain under the famous Treaty of Paris. It will be very apt to learn Spanish than any other language. Besides our accent is already attuned with it. There's even no need to exercise tongue-twisting Spanish phrases. While we are already capable of speaking and writing in English, let us still not forget that once in our history Spanish was widely used. In fact, Jose Rizal used Spanish in his literary pieces.

So now could you please excuse me because I will have to proceed learning the language. Adios. Hasta luego!
