Unbearable... Wasted Spanish

I ate at Don Pablo's on Sunday.

I regret to inform you that I pronounced some dazzling Spanish to my waiter... who spoke German.

¡Híjole! ¡Que insoportable!

I'm gettin' serious....

OK, I have broken out my Spanish books: I'm on a mission.

Ahora (now), yo sé (I know) that this is going to take a long time, but I have to start somewhere, right? I am so excited, I can't wait to learn the language and be able to keep up with my Spanish-speaking counterparts!

The worst part is that I don't have anyone speaking the words to me, so my pronunciation will probably be very, um, amusing to say the least.... I know a few teenagers so I think I will point to words in the book and hopefully they will pronounce them for me, after they recover from their fits of laughter. Oh, well, que será, será....

All right, hasta más tarde... until much later!
