Global village

What a monotony life can turn out to be. Today i decided to try out my spanish with an actual Spaniard. I logged onto the web and got into a chat room for espanoles only. I got my work book ready and pressed 'enter chat'.

Escalantes (donno what that means) and amigos were flying everywhere but I picked a nicely named brother and started from there. I got throuugh the hi- hi part, then he said some wiered things and I was forced to admit i knew little Spanish but I asked if we could speak. He says cool.

In a little while, I was chatting with these 3 nice guys, and we was flowing. Okay, not flowing but stumbling along, to an extent. Then messenger friggin went off!

I mean, I was about to ask this one brother, Fransisco to 'oye mi canto' and then suddenly I can't reach him. Needless to say, am not very happy with this pc, but no sweat.

But ... I must say I learnt a couple of things:

1.I didn't know how to say, ' fine, thank you.' Now I do, it's, 'bien, gracias.'

2. Cool in spanish is 'orale', pronounced oralay with a strong r.

3. Sex in spanish is sex. Don't ask, i thought I was asking for hobbies.

4. Never trust messenger, it's out to make you suffer. Let me check if it's on now... Just as I thought.

Let me get back to my mundane life
