Its hindered a bit by me writing the UI using SwiftUI, I keep hitting various bugs that make life difficult. In theory had I started with UIKit I **MIGHT** have been further ahead, but I felt my knowledge was too rusty and using SwiftUI gave me an excuse to learn it as its much smaller. +# Learn Spanish / Portuguese + +Right so, lets be clear, I **SUCK** at languages. I lived in Germany for 14 years and my German is shit ... but I want to spend more time on the Camino, so I need to make an effort to understand at least a reasonable amount of basic Spanish and also ideally Portuguese. + +I made a start at the beginning of the year using a combination of Duolingo and Memrise, but after a few weeks it feel by the wayside because of me. I really shouldn't be hard for me to find the time to at least do 15-30 minutes of learning / listening / reading a day. So thats my goal. It won't be enough for me to be conversational (my experience of doing the German integration course, and the followup course I did confirms that. I NEED an intensive class for me to really learn) but at the least I hope it means I won't feel lost when I arrive at an albergue where they don't speak english (which does happen). + # Last but not least ... As a minor aside, the site has had a minor bit of sprucing. Same theme, different colors. I've also put the categories back but I don't really like them. I don't really see them as any different that tags, particularly as I prefer the url to just be **domain/date/title** rather than **domain/category/date/title**, so there will likely be further tweaks to be made. Also I want to look at what collections are and how to post photos on here (from the Camino). \ No newline at end of file
