la zanahoria

I’ve always wanted to learn spanish. Being extremely proud of my 50% Hispanic-ness, I think its darn time I started. Having such limited time now to take an actual class, I went the obvious route:

Spanish Word-A-Day!

Every morning I open my email and there it is, my special Spanish word to learn, complete with a picture and an audio sample.  I haven’t quite figured out why they include a picture and the picture never has anything to do with the word… like today the word was la zanahoria (carrot) and there was a picture of an open field.  HMMM… Along with “la zanahoria”, I have learned “adentro” (interior) and “bastante” (quite or fairly).

 I figure I should be fluent in about 25 years.
