Expovina

It's often quite hard to tell the progress you make when learning a new language. Last week, though, I had one of those days where I actually could compare what I can do now with what I could do a year ago. Of course, I have a long way to go; but those small successes sure are nice.

Last year, Doc and I visited Switzerland in early November, and we went to a wine expo in Zürich. I had just started a weekend German class in D.C., and could not understand, much less, speak with any of the folks working at the various wine stands. Last week, I went back to Expovina with some friends and enjoyed trying various wines. Best of all, we managed just fine in German.
