I have started using the website Duolingo to learn Spanish and it's already a lot harder than I thought it was going to be. I learned the basics already and now I'm starting to learn about food and animals in Spanish. Man this is going to be tough guys but I'm going to try my best.

Reality Check

I don't need much equipment to learn Spanish, just my laptop or my phone to use Duolingo

Possible Roadblocks

I might not have time to do Duolingo everyday and some days I might forget. I will set notifications on my phone so that it will tell me to go on Duolingo every once in a while. 

Conclusion

 The reason I chose this project was because I always wanted to learn how to speak another language and I thought it would be fun to learn. Spanish was my first choice because it is the second most spoken language in the U.S. There are a lot of people here who can only speak spanish and I think it would be cool if I could talk to them.
