(ya never know when that's going to come in handy . . .)<BR/>While in Acapulco, a friend asked me to help her buy birth control at Walmart, limited as my Spanish was/is.<BR/>"Hablas Ingles?" I asked the girl behind the pharmacy counter (sorry - don't know how to get the accents and upside down question mark on this laptop).<BR/>She shook her head.<BR/>I pointed to my friend and gave it my best shot.<BR/>"Ella necesita el medicino para no los ninos." ('enyay?' 'tilde?')<BR/>The salesgirl laughed but she brought out three choices and my friend did not end up pregnant after her husband flew in to Acapulco for a visit.<BR/>I have since learned the word 'anticonceptivos.'Peter Varvelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04521795044554538286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13726206.post-66479341636188551052008-08-13T12:13:00.000-07:002008-08-13T12:13:00.000-07:00Thanks for the story!

My mom's father, whose first language was Spanish, spoke both English and Spanish because of his mother only spoke English upon to her death. (Will explain a little more after this)<BR/><BR/>My mother practiced her Portuguese and Spanish skills through by listening both Spanish Audio while driving and listening to Spanish shows, even took Spanish classes just like you. She was pretty good at speaking Spanish like you.<BR/><BR/>Well, my mom, her siblings and her parents went to Mexico to celebrate my grandparents' 50th anniversary. While celebrating their anniversary, my grandfather, who had not practiced speaking Spanish more than 35 years after his mother death, still remember and understand the Spanish conversation while listening to the humor Spanish speaking commercial. He was able to translate into English to his wife and his children. It does not matter how long ago you have not used other language; you can understand mostly what is the conversation was being said.<BR/><BR/>As for my mother, she was able to carry basic Spanish conversation while in Mexico after she had listened several Spanish T.V shows and audio tapes. <BR/><BR/>What I am saying is that put your ease down, and learn more when you are there. Also, HAVE FUN exploring another part of the world.Laura and the familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00413189516451734620noreply@blogger.com
