Speaking Spanish is Fun!
I’m traveling in Spain with friends now, and I’m trying to speak Spanish. I learned a little Spanish in junior high school, and I have been using a language app for a few months to get ready for this trip. Our first stop was Barcelona, and our taxi driver spoke English. The waitress at the restaurant spoke English. The hotel clerk spoke English. I was beginning to think that I didn’t need Spanish. Then, when I talked to the hotel maid, she didn’t speak English. At last, I had a chance to speak Spanish. After that, I have tried to use Spanish as much as possible. Yesterday, I used a word that I had learned in junior high school. I always remembered “abondigas,” which means “meatballs,” and I found them on the menu! (133 words) I won’t be able to send out Jaremaga for the next two days. Please be patient, and I will be back on Thursday!
