My grandmother just turned 100. Her mind is sharper than mine, but she cannot walk for too long and is now for the first time ever complaining that she cannot do what she used to; knit, sew, or cook. She doesn’t like to have people do things for her, which I understand all too well […]

The study of a foreign language involves more than memorizing. You have many skills to master at the same time: speaking, pronouncing, reading, listening and writing.
