Audio Books And More

Yesterday I tried my first audio book through Audible.com as they have an offer to try the first book free!  I've been hearing and reading more and more about audible.com so I decided to give it a shot.  Since I've been reading some other books lately (currently reading The New Psycho-Cybernetics), I wanted to try somewhat of a different book. 

So, I decided to pick a language book.  I've always wanted to learn German b/c as a kid in 6th grade we had an exchange student that taught us some German.  From what I remember, I really liked it but we only were taught about 3 months of it. 

I started the book yesterday in the car, I figured this would be the best time to listen and learn during my 25 minute commute (each way).  What I didn't realize is that out of every 10 English words, about 5 have some Germanic correlation to them.  For example: mother = mutter, father = vater, sister = schwester, brother = bruder.

Anyhow, I don't think it hurts to ever learn a new language.  I'm interested to see how much I can learn through this first book!

And more . . .  so more and more people are wearing Apple watches now and I'm seriously thinking about purchasing one now.  I always wear a watch so wearing a watch wouldn't be new to me, but the look and style of the watches seem more appealing to me now. 

One of my coworkers gave me a crash course on how he uses his and it's definitely pretty cool! Anyone out there using an Apple watch?  How do you like yours?
