Learn to Speak | Geek Life: Augmenting Reality

¡Hola, Geeks! So, how are your language skills? There are days where I feel like I barely understand the intricacies of the English language at all. Two-year-old Henry is still well within the baby babble stage, but I find myself a bit envious, because whether he knows it or not, he's in the process of learning two languages at such a young age. Both Jay and I are wanting to learn Spanish, and after a bit of trial and error, we've found the easiest app to help us is Babbel. And, as part of our Valentine's Day celebration, we're giving away a 1-year free subscription to one lucky you, 'cause te amamos! Still looking for a great super last minute Valentine's Day gift?
