@Maria Sindre is perfecting his French, and I have been working on Spanish because we moved to Florida where I actually use it everyday. Are you on DuoLingo?

Re: Week 1: A New Hope
So, I started Schumann Op. 12 last year, spent a few weeks on it and then life got too "lifey". Going back to learn at least one movement.
