My resources and life situation is such now that I can't go to some immersion school in Costa Rica or Mexico to learn Spanish. I haven't studied in a while and consequently am really rusty. I run into similar blocks every time I try to study Spanish without any tutoring. Vocab doesn't often...

Okay this is what Liszt is often accused of (maybe not in those exact words but you get the point). So is it?

It's official, we have a date and a place agreed! Everyone is welcome. Theatre seat booking isn't open yet. We'll try to get seats close together if we can, although that's a minor point really. We'll have a meal and drinks beforehand, probably during and after too! Currently committed...
