This morning I reviewed Language Transfer Track #46 where Mihalis teaches us the second of three past tense forms. He refers to this one as 'a line in the past ' or ongoing. For example, I was speaking, I used to speak all the time. You remove the verb ending and add 'aba' to get: hablaba, hablabas, hablaban, hablabamos.
Today's homework included listening to another Duolingo podcast 'Sin Miedo'. I had listened to this a couple times before a long time ago. With the words I was able to understand 75-80%, which is considerably more than before. Look at me improving, yay!
Anyway, the story is about a girl from Chile who moves to Argentina but gets dumped by her boyfriend. She snaps out of her funk when she hears a Michael Jackson song at a club and it frees her to focus on enjoying the chance to dance on her own. So in the name of fearlessness, I include a video of MJ singing in Spanish.
What gives you the courage to break through the fear?
