Yes. Yes. Oh, and yes. Finally, yes. You could write a book? :p

hmmm... writing a book sounds familiar somehow.

I have actually thought of a project that might take up my time... but first I have to determine how unique it is. It's a site in Spanish that teaches English in small, bite-sized lessons (think Khan Academy) to Spanish speakers regardless of their literacy levels. So... it could be good for people who live in the US that need lessons but aren't experts at grammar. Or, could be used by students from all over the Spanish-speaking world who need a supplement to their existing classes. The initial lessons would have quite a bit of explanation in Spanish, and the higher levels would be primarily in English.

The whole idea behind is, other than the obvious Sal Khan inspiration, is that when I lived in Mexico, I was paid top dollar by parents of spoiled rich kids who wanted a native speaker. There are plenty of native speakers in the US that teach English, but are unable to communicate with their students. While I fully believe that higher-level courses should be taught in English only, I think that for basic levels, significant explanation in the native language are required to understand basic concepts...

Anyhow.. with all that in mind,I will send the link to my VERY rough draft website to anyone who sends me a PM. Since it's got my name and picture all over it, I don't want to directly put it here, but I would love feedback on the idea.

I think it may be my next big project unless I can find something else "out there" that is just like my idea. So far I haven't..
