Day 2: and counting....

Man, there is something lovely about learning Spanish in bed with a cup of tea! Thank God for portable technologies.

But today’s lesson was soooo fast. I think I’ll have to stop being so passive (i.e. lazy) and start watching the classes with a notebook, pen and the pause button to take down all the stuff I’m supposed to be learning. Because I keep coming across sentences I really want to use but they move on so quickly.

Thankfully, just to give us a fleeting sense of hope, they then go back to doing simple greetings and the numbers from one to ten so you feel like all is not lost. But it’s a bit weird that they jump from “I don’t remember anything that happened last night” to “1,2,3”. Still, it keeps things interesting and I have to admit it is genuinely, really funny in places and that’s what makes me want to get straight to the next lesson. It seems like David is slowly getting more bold and pushing the innuendo a bit, which is great. Today he asked his teacher if he could eat her!! And given my experiences with Argentinian men here so far (let’s just say, they’re not shy!) it might be useful to recognise that one…

Well, I’m off to a tango lesson. Will try my best to use some of my new vocab (I’m sure I can get an “uno, dos, tres” in there somewhere)
