We\u0092re moving into new Spanish territory, so to speak, and it\u0092s a good challenge. It feels slow and I keep reminding myself that it\u0092s not a race, I\u0092m not being ranked, and I have nothing to prove. Still\u0085.<\/p>\n
About three quarters through our session today, in a low voice Martha said something in Spanish and then said \u0093Son of a bitch\u0094 in English. I laughed out loud. It sounded so out of place, so surprising. Then she said \u0093Shit\u0094. It was hilarious. She hasn\u0092t taught me any Spanish swear words yet.<\/p>\n
Earlier in our session we both got a laugh when she asked me what I usually take to a party. I said \u0093jugo\u0094 (juice) and what I meant to say was \u0093juego\u0094 (games). We got a chuckle out my mistake! I could tell by the look on her face that she thought juice was an odd thing to take to a party. This is indicative of my difficulty pronouncing double vowels in words. In English they usually combine to make a sound, but in Spanish, they usually both get pronounced. Another successful discovery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
