So, my Jamie Oliver's books in Spanish and La piramide de la salud have arrived.
In theory the last one should be the most difficult one and the other two very easy, because it regards a very easy topic, food, where the other is scientific. True? FALSE! The scientific book is pretty easy to read because it looks much more like Italian. The recipe books are in the same order of difficulty for me than a Dutch recipe book.

Gioia e gaudio!
I found a person with whom to speak Spanish on a daily basis.

Unfortunately I'm not speaking Spanish with that person on a daily basis :evil:

I have a huge change in program for my next future ;) For professional reasons I can't say what (there aren't many people that are called Tristano in Italy and I'm the only one with my face also) but... let's say that Dutch is going to be my best foreign language ;)

Wanderlust is killing me.

Wanderlust is difficult to kill.
Especially if Duolingo Russian is at 98%.

I'm painfully slacking.
Not only I'm not wanderlusting but I'm also not studying anything useful.

Whilst I'm still painfully slacking, I made a dream in four languages this night.
Furthermore I realized that some weeks ago I talked with a guy in Dutch and Spanish, whether one year ago I could not talk with him because we were not having a language in common.

These things make me at least feel a little better about myself :)
