So I am starting to feel as if my Spanish *might* be improving. I understand a little bit more of what Maria is saying, and I don't feel as foolish responding sometimes, or ordering something in a café, or even speaking a little Spanish to the international students.
Tonight, the language school had an "intercambio" - where the students studying English, and us Cal Poly students who are studying Spanish, get together and try to speak in each other's languages. They called it "speed dating," since we are supposed to talk in Spanish for 4 minutes, then switch to English for 4 minutes.
It was more fun than I expected! Since a lot of the Spanish students knew just as much English as I knew Spanish, we had similar things to discuss and ask each other. We were easily able to find common ground, and everyone was understanding about having to talk slow.
Since tomorrow starts the weekend and everyone is going out of town, we decided to go out for the night! We found a place that has yummy Sangria, and just enjoyed the night. I am loving España :D
