Communicating with Spanish friends like
When asked to teach Spanish children about Columbus
When the kids start doing Spanish-style long division
Pan every day!!
When everyone from your home town is married/ engaged/ has kids
When you hear about a random person who knows 5 languages and you’re still struggling with your first two
When you’re just about to give up on SLA….
But finally…
when you have a good conversation with someone in your target language and realize you’re exactly where you need to be <3
