I will write one more story and then I am going to do a short five or seven minute yoga routine before I get out of the house for the day.
I pretty much got all of my work done but I still need to practice my Spanish tonight when I get home, which is easy because it only takes me 15 minutes to do.
I study every single day though and those 15 minutes add up over time, and so does my level of the language. I think I will be able to finally understand these local business owners in a few months and be able to talk with them about smart thermostats and other things that they sell. There is nothing worse than being left out of all of the conversations because you can’t understand people. I will take a class at the local business, which has some really cold a/c and good air quality, and once I finish that class I should have the language down pretty good. I think by the end of the summer I will be all set with communicating with people in town. I just want to be able to say more to people than “hola”, like I had been doing for the past few years. There is no excuse why I can’t learn the language quickly, just like my HVAC tech friend did when she mastered the language in just six or so months at this new contractor’s shop that teaches it during the week. I think I will be good to go very soon!
