Spanish classes are going fairly well, I think. I'm learning stuff, so that's a good sign. Today I went to Pan de Vida and people kept trying to talk to me. Yeah, 'cause I look like I would be fluent in Spanish. I actually answered one question the first time I was asked though without too long of a pause! This guy asked how old I was and I said 'diez y siete'. Whoot, whoot! Couldn't understand another word he said, but I was pretty proud of myself.
Earlier today I went to chapel tribes and Eli had to go the bathroom and told me to tell our leader. When our leader asked where Eli was, I said, "She went to the washroom." "...Oh, ok." I was wondering why that seemed like a difficult thing to grasp until DK said, "Washroom is Canadian for bathroom. Just thought I'd translate for everybody."
Then later on in Study Hall, this one guy asked what grade I was in. Since everyone here is American, I've gotten used to their names for high school grades. "I'm a Jr," I said. "Hey!" DK said. "You just spoke a foreign language!"
And after Pan de Vida, I said, "Si" to Zachary and he was so proud of my Spanish skills. :)
Yep, I'll be multilingual in no time...
