If you hooked me up to a lie detector and asked me if I speak Spanish, every response I could think of would show up as a lie. I don't speak Spanish and I don't not speak Spanish. I can tell you for sure that when I speak it, it comes off as unsure and a little wrong. I think I'm more confident speaking French and Polish because I don't speak French or Polish at all. I can repeat a few phrases that were taught to me and that's it. Confidence!
Juli and I went to California where I spoke next to no Spanish at all. We visited Kerry and Jason and their kiddos and pup. We played in the water and near the water and on the water. It was comfortable and normal and easy.
However.
We stayed at an Airbnb. Our place was an unusual place for us because it wasn't private living. We had a room in woman's house. The woman told us she was an artist and she had a seven-year-old girl. An artist, eh? I have always wanted to meet one. The house was an adults-only place with a little girl and it was Disney themed. We didn't spend much time at the Airbnb, and I expect we will seek private living from now on.
As you might expect, we left California and we are in Colombia now. Dude, Spanish everywhere.
Juli and I went to a restaurant and the business of speaking Spanish falls to me. Our server said, "Good afternoon."
I said, "Good afternoon. Is there a table for two?"
She said, "Mysteryword mysteryword you like mysteryword upstairs or downstairs."
I said "up" and she lead us upstairs.
Later, she told me that there were lunch specials and she pointed at a menu that had a lot of Spanish words on it. I said, "I like a plate with meat."
She said, "Mysteryword mysteryword potato and salad or mysteryword mysteryword mysteryword?"
I said, "Which one is better?" and "Which do you prefer?"
She said a series of mystery words and I agreed with her.
Lunch was awesome. If you are ever in Colombia, I totally recommend lunch. I also recommend studying Spanish a little more than you think you need to. I speak it well enough for people to feel comfortable giggling at me or rolling their eyes. But if you need to go upstairs, follow me.
