Progress so far: not much
I have to confess I've been feeling a bit discouraged about my progress in learning Spanish since I launched this blog. I thought I could email a few friends once a week and have them quickly respond. In real life, they're awfully busy, and I need to find other resources. I've been getting so desperate and shameless, I'm starting to ask complete strangers in restaurants (granted, the woman I pestered last weekend started it first by noticing I was speaking Spanish to my daughter).
Here's what she taught me:
Se paciente: Be patient
Espera un poco: Wait a bit
¿Terminastes?: Are you done (eating)?
