I finished my first week of class and decided to sign up for a second week. I feel like I’m learning a bit, but I’m definitely getting value out of just talking out loud more. It’s one thing to think the words in your head, it’s a whole different thing to make your mouth make the right noises. It’s funny; they use the same alphabet as we do, but since the pronunciation is different, sometimes it’s hard to make the sounds come out right, and I still stumble over big words, like “adolescencia”, “enamoramiento”, and “antidisestablishmentarianism”.

Learning Spanish in Spain
The instructor shut the door and said in Spanish, “Today we’re going to spend some time learning slang. There are some slang phrases that are common throughout Spain and some that are unique to Málaga. To help with the common phrases, we have a guest teacher today.” He turned to the projector, turned it on, and started a video on his laptop. Our surprise guest instructor was a YouTube video of Antonio Banderas teaching us Spanish slang.
