Don't know why, but I really like all kinds of challenges where I need to mark what I've done and I can see the progress.
So, my GoodReads Reading Challenge - I'm far ahead!
I mean, of course, I would read all those books without any challenges, but it's still nice to see my progress

Spanish classes
I was wondering why my head hurts so much after the Spanish classes - they weren't that hard, you know.
Then one day I got it - my head was exploding because of constant switching of languages.
Our teacher was Spanish and she spoke only Spanish and English. She tried to talk mostly Spanish, but sometimes we just couldn't understand her (it was a beginners class), so she switched to English. And we mostly asked her questions in English. Then the class itself was mostly Hebrew-speaking. There were also two or three speakers of Russian, and several of Arabic, but since everyone knew Hebrew it was the language of communication. The girl that sat next to me was a speaker of Russian, so we preferred to talk in Russian to each other.
So, during one lesson I spoke English, Russian, Hebrew and Spanish, constantly switching to another language... Wow, no wonder the head hurt that much. I still can't understand how all these languages live in one head and interact with each other, but, apparently, it's not an easy process.
