Some days it just feels like my Spanish is so bad. My tongue gets tied and I stutter. Words come out with the wrong vowel sounds and it's like I never learned the basic rules of grammar.... verbs like gustar throw me off and I forget whether the most common words I use day to day are feminine or masculine.
The longer I am here, the more frustrating this feels. Why do I have lapses like this?
This afternoon, I was just walking down the street and an obnoxious young man yelled "hola" at me in a cat calling manner out of a store front. I said "hola" back. Then, he retorted - "oh.... hellllooooooo."
Was my "hola" really that bad that he knew to switch to English?
Uhhh. One of those days.
Funny in a way, how he switched to English.
ReplyDeleteTake it all in stride.
Learning a languge is challanging.
Look how long it take todlers and younsters to get it.
Your speaking also is related to how tired you are,
and all that's going on in your mind and life.
