    I am eager to see this. I am out of the country so it's not a possibility at the moment.

    I find a difference between telling jokes and receiving jokes. When I was learning Spanish, joke telling was an advanced topic. Hearing jokes, particularly sitcom tv is pretty simple, using the receptive skills instead of the active, speaking skills.

    I have had that problem with my camera, too. On your DSLR, check to see the minimum focus point for your lens. It should be in the manual, on the lens, or online. Even if you have a macro setting on the camera, the lens may need to be back 12 to 36 inches.

    Beautiful photo, by the way.

    En Panama usamos grama para algunas plantas verdes que crecen bajitos en el suelo.

    Hi, I just joined imzy today. I am an English speaker who also speaks Spanish. I continue to learn more Spanish as I live in Panama. I have also studied French and a little Icelandic and a little Bulgarian (for trips taken some time ago). I am a firm believer that knowing at least some of the language when you visit or live in a country enhances the experience for all.

  • Foreign Languages!Foreign Languages!Why Do You Think Learning a Language is Important?Jun 10, 2016 at 1:27 PM

    My understanding of my first language, English, improved when I started learning a second language. Plus, if you are living someplace where they speak a language that is different from your native language, learning the language gives you an insight into the local culture and people that you don't get if you speak only your native language. As an expat in Panama, it has been more than a bonus - it has been a quality of life factor.

    I tried dragging and I tried the photo box. No luck. I will try again later

    some volunteer work, reading, visiting with friends. there are lots of things to see and do in Panama - lots of outdoor activities, especially gardening. We live in an area of natural beauty, a little higher up and cooler, with parrots and toucans and sloths and orchids .

  • BOOKSBOOKSAPRIL 2016 WRAPUP: What did you read this month?Jun 10, 2016 at 9:32 AM

    In April I read the Japanese Lover, by Isabel Allende, in Spanish (El Amante Japones) and the first Bernie Gunther book by Philip Kerr. In May I read all the Maisie Dobbs books by Jacqueline Winspear (a binge reader). I am currently finishing the 2016 Man Booker prize-winner, The Vegetarian, by Han Kang, in an excellent translation. Next I will spend the next few weeks on The Romanovs, by Simon Sebag Montefiore. Not exactly summer reading, so something else may catch my fancy somewhere between Catherine the Great and Nicholas II.

  • BOOKSBOOKSIntroductions: What got you into reading? What's your favorite books and genres?Jun 10, 2016 at 9:15 AM

    My parents were both voracious readers. My mother started teaching me to read when I was 3 years old. I have hardly been without a book since. As an early school-aged student I loved the Betsy, Tacy, and Tib stories. I also read all the biographies I could find, especially of women.

    I just finished Jacqueline Winspear's series featuring Maisie Dobbs. The books take place in the years between WW1 and WW2 in England.

    CJ Sansom's series of books, set during the reign of Henry VIII, are very engaging.

  • Books on HistoryBooks on HistoryHow do you like to read about history best?Jun 10, 2016 at 9:06 AM

    I really like to read it all. Nonfiction and Biography in the winter months, historical fiction other times (with a few literary fiction thrown in for good measure).
