Iñaki gave me a very accurate description of what my Spanish is like the other day and I have to share...
He read my blog and was a little confused about the description of his grandmother so I explained that I just loved her because she was so sweet and has the stereotypical look of what a United Statester like myself might think a Spanish abuela looks like. I felt comfortable around her because she spoke slower and louder and not as much. Iñaki laughed and said, "that´s because you´re like her." I said, "huh?" He explained, "well, she can´t hear and you can´t understand what is going on. So, both of you just sort of sit there and shrug your shoulders and smile a lot when you´re around groups."
I no longer have the Spanish level of a 2-year-old, but that of an 86-year-old abuela. Love it.
