Hola! Coma esta? Mi espanol es mejor than sixty sessions ago. It is still not perfect by any means but step by step I am slowly learning the language. Unfortunately it seems that fluency will not be the end result. If I can get the basic question or answer across without too many mistakes, I consider it a small victory.
Did I have fun with this one? Absolutely, especially while visiting Peru I practiced with the locals as they encouraged my attempt at the language. My goal for the next ten years is to continue my quest for mastery. I will rev up the brain cells, engage the tongue, and experiment putting sentences together that won't offend or confuse the listener. I will make sure I say I have three children instead of three eyes (hijo versus ojo--a mistake Senor Rob made), and allow time to practice, practice, practice. Besides all the studying, I will need patience galore since my sixty year old brain seems to take a tad longer retaining these still foreign phrases. Never fear, in the distant future when I am riding off into the sunset I hope my last words will be, "hasta luego", and someone will actually understand me!
¡ Me gusta ésta blog, Señora Gooze!
