Looking to the future.

Bueno, entonces... Diez.....

And I'll open with a little tale of discovery. Last I was having a little dance in my favourite little bar in Palermo, and I was feeling rather warm, so went outside and declared loudly to my friend and the hunky Argentine she was chtting up 'Estoy muy Caliente!' and felt very proud of my Spanish until the both started laughing at me...before kindly explaining that I was talking about my sexual attractiveness, rather than my temperature....BUT, this is a mistake I have been making for my WHOLE trip in South America...oh dear, I flush when I think about all those poor people on the Inca Trail who had to listen to me brag about my 'hotness' as I marched past them in a sweaty vest and shorts...Ah well, I'm learning!

Often when I do not know a Spanish word I take a stab at adding an 'a' or 'o' to the end and putting on a vaguely Spanish accent, and a big smile, and in todays class, the Bueno, entonces... Prof. gave a little talk on cognates, or more precisely false ones, but I still feel it is always worth a stab in the dark....so until I have abit more vocab under my belt i'll still be speaking this weird form of Spanglish!

I have been only speaking in the present tense up until now, having had no knowledge of the future tense, but Bueno, entonces... really does make learning spanish easy, as, during just this half hour lesson I have now learnt how to speak in the future tense...now I can start looking forward again, rather than living my Spanish life solely in the now!
