There is still snow on the ground in Switzerland and the snow has been on the ground for three weeks at least. We are hoping for milder weather in Seville on Wednesday. Today it's 17 degrees there during the day, though night-times are quite cool.
I've been learning some basic Spanish on Duolingo for the past few week. It offers about 20 languages for English speakers to learn from basics.
