Crystal Learns Spanish

When life gives you lemons... make lemonade. When work gives you the ultimatum... go to Costa Rica to learn Spanish! My mom says my life "is a do-over". Im not so sure about that. But the opportunity has come in my mid 30's to do something I’ve dreamt of for years; travel abroad and learn the Spanish language. This blog is for my friends and family to enjoy the tales of my experience.

Friday:
Spanish Level: Today I gave my teacher one of the kid’s books I bought about a sloth in a race. She tells me all the time that in Spanish I’m like a sloth (lazy) in other words because if there are two ways to say something I say it the “shorter” way. Anyway, I read it to her as part of my class, it was a cute book and she liked it.

When I got home tonight Carmen and Stephanie had been to visit Kimba and they said he may be coming home next week, which is sooner than expected and good. They had gone by to visit him today.

At ladies night Marion had invited me to come to a restaurant, Dos Locos, on Friday to hear some live music. Well this was something I just couldn’t pass up so Kelly and I went to check it out. We had dinner at the cheap pizza place and Dos Locos was just a block away. We could hear the music coming from the restaurant when we walked up, it was this guy they call Robbie, his initials are RTC. He used to play in a band with Stevie Ray Vaughn and had recently been on tour with Elvis Costello. He was a tall skinny blonde guy and he was melting his electric guitar. He was great!! I was beaming with wanderlust. A couple from the US told me all this about Robbie because they had just bought a bar on the beach and Robbie and his little band were going to be playing there on Saturdays when they re-open.

Of all the adjetive I could use to describe you, lazy is not one of them...
Speaking the shorter way is just American. We always use condensed phrasing to get a point across.
ie "Sgoeat!"
Oh, I guess that is southern American. (let's go eat)
