RE: Calm afternoon in Salon-de-Provence, France

in Worldmappin2 years ago

Lol IO must have messed that up indeed. I adapt horribly. it´s just that at home and at work it´s all Dutch and English so the only place I practice my Spanish is en la calle. Oh and in the bar, after years I am comfortable doing what is needed, but still feel like a stupid foreigner also because few people in Andalusia speak English. So I know it´s me that has to work harder but I finished all seasons of Vis a Vis, Elite and Casa de papel already 😎

Sort:  

Bueno, la calle y los bares pueden ayudar jajaja
Series y libros también!
En mi trabajo yo sí que tengo que hablar castellano, doy clases así que los alumnos tienen que entenderme. Tengo alumnos que son extarnjeros y no hablan español, con ellos hablo en inglés.
Espero que me has entendido :)))

Well, back to English, there are differences between areas in Spain, I guess it depends on the number of expats living in some zones, also on tourism and the willingness of people to speak in English

Thanks for testing me I I undertsood you perfectly, it´s not the reading and understanding that I feel are my puntos debil but the actual speaking and as you mention the calles and barres are the best place to learn indeed paso a paso😉

Paso a paso. The more you free yourself to speak, easier it will go 😇
I also struggle to listen back to me, I will always find some accent that is not Spanish feeling, but I guess it's not that bad as I think. People do recognize that Spanish is not my native language, but I anyway like to chit chat with neighbors, friends, students etc.
