A wish for humanity part two, we continue talking about travelling abroad and at home, the beautiful we can see, learn and experience. Mostly we have fun and talk beautifully, see you soon.
Learning a new language
To be honest out of all my time travelling nothing has been as fun as learning Spanish, nothing has been as frustrating as learning German.
German, did not get far, Spanish, coming a long way. Super SUPER duper fun.
At a point where everyday tasks are super easy, starting to engage in basic conversation and, really, just having a bloody good time of it.
A couple of years ago learnt before travelling in Spanish territory, used Duolingo and Memerize, great apps. Learnt the very basics and then practicing, giving it a shot, playing a bucketload of charades in the Americas has been the funniest of funny. Everybody loves it, everybody.
Today, could not stop laughing on the bus, the second bus I took. First one the movie was so loud no point trying to talk to the person next to me, well them talk to me is more the point. Big tall bloke in a country of little people, comparatively to Australia anyway, and people are interested in you, want to talk to and then some.
Fortunately the second bus was the innercity one. Fun too, figured bugger it, no idea where the bus is going but I will jump on and then off when the streets get busy. They did, very busy, about 30 minutes on the bus.
The bloke next to me started talking, kept talking, and did not stop for the whole trip. The basic stuff no problem, but it was not the basic he wanted. No matter how many times I repeated, amigo, mi español es muy básico, no entiendo, it did not matter. Kept banging on and on and on and on.
I laughed and laughed and laughed and then when I thought could not laugh any more, laughed some more. People around us were laughing too, they got it, not this bloke though.
So so funny, ridiculous fun, highly recommend it, HIGHLY.
