My meagre smattering of Spanish was lots of fun. Everyone I tried it out on was very sweet and smiley and I think my attempts were appreciated. I can’t wait to go back with a better grasp of the language next time.
At various points over the weekend my boyfriend and I marvelled that we now know 3 or 4 different languages for some phrases and words. Two years ago we didn’t have the confidence to introduce ourselves in broken school French.
I’m a long way from actually speaking a second language — let alone 3rd or 4th; but I really feel that I’m heading in the right direction after this weekend.
It’s very exciting.
