Surreal...
Dec. 19th, 2006 01:44 amI've decided that whenever I'm bored now I'm going to try and visit the Spanish Wikipedia and see what I can puzzle my way through. I can already read "subway Spanish," meaning simple phrases, small vocabulary, present tense; this is to help me with more vocabulary, and to see things in the proper context.
I started this evening with learning about the historical ways of classifying living things before the current three-kingdom ("reina") system, and then I hit Random Page (Pagina Aleatoria - just figuring out which was the random page link took a bit of puzzling). And ended up with an article (in Spanish) about a Japanese term. I should check out the English version just so I know WTF's going on. Or else just skip to something that I can understand better from the context.
