My Calendars in Spanish

My Favorite One was free from the local Cooperative Supermarket Featuring Atenas Coffee Farmers who make up the Cooperative. Atenas, Costa Rica

My “Store Bought” Calendar from the mall yesterday is “Caminos y senderos” Backroads and trails of Costa Rica of course! I have been on the above road. It is along the Caribe beach, Banana Azul, Puerto Viejo. A Costa Rica Produced Nature Calendar Hard choice of trails, trees or animals! I chose trails!

I am a very slow learner of spoken Spanish and need to surround myself with as much as possible and little things like calendars are a little help and help define where I am. Likewise I try to do most of my grocery list in español, count in Spanish, all greetings and as much conversation daily as I possible. That means avoiding gringos, especially Americans who only speak English.

Did you know that Spanish is the second most spoken language after Mandarin Chinese? Yes more people speak Spanish than English around the world and it is the second language of the United States.
