Today is my one week anniversary of being in Costa Rica! We had a really fascinating linguistics lesson today in which it was made very clear all of the things that I am bad at in Spanish. This is how I feel most of the time:
Luckily I am getting much better. I walked to the supermercado this afternoon to buy another sombrilla after I broke my first one and had a good exchange with the cashier. It was like this:
"Esta no necesita un bolso." (This functions pretty well I think. Something like, I don't need a bag.)
He laughs. "Que?"
Now I'm doubting myself a little. "No...necesito...bolso."
"Bols-A."
"Bowl-suh."
"No. BOLsa."
"Bolsa."
"Bien."
At least I know how to count to eleven, right?
