How's Your Spanish?

February 26th, 2010

 

I admit it, mine is awful. I try, I’ve been to “adult education” classes, bought the CD’s. I might even buy ROSETTA STONE, I’ve tried their demos and am quite sure it would help. I think it all comes down to time. Anyway, all this to introduce a new feature of  the amazing vanstones. At no aditional cost to you (as they say in Mexico, “Almost Free today”) we have added a feature called Spanish Word of the Day.

Scroll down abit, look to the left column. See it? Imagine, a new word everyday. Yesterday I learned Taza, the day before Servilleta (cup and serviette) Oops, forgot today’s. Oh well, look left, play the recording a few times……. it’s all good.

Just think; a word a day, 365 days a year. I’ll be public speaking down here by the time I reach 90. Or I could just buy the downloads behind this one and start years sooner.

Memory Loss

August 17th, 2009

Memory Loss, that’s something that I am learning to live with on a daily, no hourly, basis. I’m guessing that maybe you may know someone else who notices minor lapse in memory.  It seems we all have a share of mental or memory lapses.

If you read this page at all regularily you may note a huge lapse in posts. I haven’t been posting as regularily since we came back to work and the rest of the real world, but I have been trying  to keep you up to date. But over the weekend our server (the computer where all this drivel resides) had a power surge and it too lost a chunk of it’s memory. Fortunately for me Jason had backed up in early May so we have that, but whatever nuggets of wisdom I wrote between then and now are gone.

Obviously, I need to remember to learn how to back up my blogs myself. and then I need to remember to do it.

Like The New Page?

August 26th, 2008

I’d be interested in hearing your comments. Very Interested! As you probably know this page is hosted, designed and administered by my artistic son Jason, in fact he would be happy to do the same for you if you wish. It’s not as wild as the first edition we had this afternoon but I think has some real possibilities. Imagine ta beautiful Mexican beach or something behind the print. For sure we will all have to agree, my website will be unique. I look forward to your comments here or email me at vanstones@vstone.ca
