So I began Spanish today...and let me tell you learning another language, in another language is probably one of the hardest things I've ever done. If I hadn't already had some Spanish I probably would have been lost. But not as lost as I am during Italian class.... this is my classes second year of Italian so I really don't stand a chance. Most of the time I sit there and try to figure out when my teacher is speaking German and when in fact she is speaking Italian with a German accent. Because we are literally just beginning Spanish its doable. The bonus is, after we complete this course we are flying to Barcelona for 10 days! This prize makes the struggle worth it although having three languages bouncing around in your head can cause you to really mess up when you are talking. For example today we were were working with partners and asking each other some simple questions we had just learned. My partner asked me
"Cuantos años tienes?"
To which I responded with
"Ich bin sixteen años"
..... now I've heard of Spanglish and Germanglish but have you ever spoken in Spangermglish? Didn't think so.
Spanish......
... to English...
... to German....and then vice versa. This is my thought process
