Good tagline. Choir practice and party was fun. One of my choir members told me that my Spanish has improved a lot over the last decade.
Nothing improves a learned language like having to speak it almost every day. So good for you! And it’s wonderful for the choir member to remark on it, as well.
When the missionaries are sent to foreign countries, they learn the basics in those languages at the various MTCs around the world and the rest of it they learn on the fly. They become proficient enough to become translators at the bi-annual conferences which are broadcast worldwide.
I have the utmost respect for people who learn a language and USE it! :o])
