Poking around the intersection of KM and Social Media
This past year, I’ve been brushing up on my Spanish, taking two semesters of the language at the local college. I’m still not fluent (I don’t practice nearly enough), but my reading comprehension is pretty decent. One of my favorite tools when learning a new language has been Google Translate.
