Spanglish

I've come to realize that Spanish is everywhere. My roommate is taking a Spanish course this quarter, a friend of mine just moved to Spain, a little boy I worked with the other day spoke primarily Spanish, I just watched Fools Rush In... Of course I remember nothing from the Spanish I took two years ago and I doubt that I could order anything from Chipotle in the employees native language. No bueno.

I think I'm just not a language person. I'm taking a Linguistics course this quarter and I can already tell it's not going to be a fun course or one that I'll be good at naturally, and it's mostly English. My teacher has very little (if any) sense of humor, but I have hope. She did crack a smile during our class introductions when, after half of my peers introduced themselves as Japanese, German, Russian, etc. majors that I spoke limited Spanlish and Sign Language. Oh Spanglish. Donde esta my cell phone...? I miss my gato. Enrique Englesias? BAILAMOS!



Heheheheh.

Adios boys and girls.

You know, I don't remember any of my three years of highschool Spanish, either. I really think that a classroom is not a very good place to learn a language. At least for me, I need the constant correction from native speakers, and the pressure that I have to remember how to say something or I will not be able to communicate.

Anyway, good luck with your class. It sounds challenging, but I hope you have some fun in it.

Love and miss you lots.
