Apparently you should take a deep breath before you say the word. i try that but it doesnt work. Exactly, spanish to english - so much better. Yeah, if you go to Salou or Malaga, everyone speaks english and theyre just loads of dodgy english people. Thats awesome, ill message you my whatsapp. Me too haha

Lucky, i find i trip over spanish words a lot, especially ones with too many r's. But if i get into speaking it a lot its fine, i think its the initial talking.
Haha, I do it whenever i hear spanish. i feel like this amazing spy or something.
Yes, i know what you mean. but i hate translating english to spanish, spanish to english is really fun. It feels so good when you get it all right and you learn things from these articles but theyre in another language.
God, im so glad it wasnt just me. It was things like sharpener, hello, colours and my name is. It was not at all useful.
Zaragoza. Its quite remote in someways, which is good. No english people. >:)
I really dont mind, i find wallposts easier to reply to since i usually use my ipod and takes forever to type. But yes, I will definitely sometime :D

I picked it up when I was staying in Spain as everyone seemed to say it before they spoke. What I found weird was web they'd say it then speak English? Love Spanish accents, they're so great :'D
I just stare at them in utter bewilderment. Then they just continue on. Maybe I should try this look out next time haha
I used to have a little bit of confidence but I really lost it in the past year which means people think I can't understand what they're saying but I can I just don't want or can't speak. It has it's advantages because I can eavesdrop without them even knowing muaha
Yeah hopefully you did well. And translation is fun really, it's a bit like a puzzle. :)
Oh you've studied it longer than me, I started studying it when I was 14. So only been doing it for four years.
Yeah I know what you mean, and it's really useful to know because it's quite Latin based.
Nope thank god. But I'm heading to Spain hopefully again to stay with my Spanish fam.
Haha yes it is. :)

I love swearing in Spanish, so much more fun than English haha. Yeah and if I have to think for a while about what I'm going to say I love saying a ver. I think it makes me seem smart (probably doesn't though haha)
Yeah I'm so glad it's not just me then. Some people it just clicks straight away and other times I can really struggle. Sometimes I find if someone talks too quickly I automatically panic and can't speak, like I understand what they say but not straight away because I almost go into frozen oh god can't keep up with what you're saying mode >.>
Yeah recently I've just been translating loads of articles which has actually been helping quite a lot. But I don't have a lot of confidence when speaking Spanish, I think that's the problem.
Sometimes I can't remember words in English but I know them in Spanish, it's awkward. Or if I've been reading Spanish for a whole going back to English is kind of difficult.
Aww that would be so great, I would really appreciate that (:

I love saying que guay or que bien to everything since hardly the time I'm not sure what to say haha. Those are like my, I understand you but I don't know what you what me to say, phrases.
Oh I've got a Mexican friend and he's always like que onda? I had no idea what it meant for ages, apparently it means what's up? But you can't say that in Spain because they're be like... Que?
I find if you're used to someone's voice understand what they say more. Like I can understand everything my Spanish teacher says but if I talk to some people from Spain I don't always understand them. It depends a lot of voices for me, which is stupid.
Oh I'm not good enough for anyone to ask me if I'm fluent. :( It's like my dream to be fluent in Spanish but don't see it happening but ill keep going with it either way.
Haha I've had dreams where other people are speaking Spanish but like dreams in Spanish.

You'll have to, it's so cool. And somewhat annoying because you can't always understand what they're saying because they have weird slang and I've learnt Castilian slang etc. like in chile instead of saying entiendes? They say cacháis? And instead of novio/a they say pololo/a haha
I find I understand South American accents better than Spanish ones, it's clearer. The best accents in Spain have to be the ones from Aragon, they're the clearest. Mexican Spanish I can't understand at all really... O.o yeah apparently according to Spanish people Argentinian accents are horrible, so you would find it difficult I guess. I don't know about Mallorca though.
Just a bit of a strange film in general really

I've been recently talking to a load of Spanish people from different parts of the world. It's so interesting and confusing seeing how each country speaks Spanish differently. Like chilean Spanish is just odd xD have you ever encountered any other kinds of Spanish? :)
Yeah. Pedro basically died from 'lighting too many of his matches' xD

Yeah I'm studying it this year. It's so weird but actually not that bad for a book you have to study. The magical realism stuff is a bit hard to keep up with.
I've never watched Indonesian films before haha.
Not yet, I like the look of reading possibly. :)
