What a drastic change of country. Do you already speak Spanish?
Tomo clases en línea por Zoom con un tutor y un grupo, pero soy terrible en eso. Tengo que usar traductores para las cosas complejas, pero hasta ahora puedo moverme por la ciudad, hacer amigos, comprar alimentos y gasolina y conseguir comida de restaurantes y cosas en español. Soy un poco mayor, por lo que aprender idiomas no es tan fácil como lo es para los cerebros más jóvenes, pero me las arreglo.
I think you can learn it little by little, at your own pace, and I think you are good with words, since yesterday I have been reading you, for you I came to the post of the friend who is doing the contest where I name hispapro a thousand times... without @ not to name it anymore, and it would be good if you continued answering everyone so eloquently in that way but in Spanish so as not to use a translator. jjejej😅
I would love to be able to be as fluent as the words I have in my head to say. That is absolutely for sure.
But I have made some very patient and kind friends in my small pueblo in the northern volcano mountain and farm area of the province of Alajuela, Costa Rica, and we teach each other. The Ticos and Ticas I know are eager to practice their English and help me with my Spanish without judgement. It helps I live alone and in a very modest way, much like my local neighbors. I did not go there to gentrify, I went there to simplify. And it is pretty great!
Thank you for the complement AND for watching my content. I will add you to my follows as well, and perhaps I will learn something from it. I have many friends from Venezuela and I made all of those friends here over the years. You are the newest one!
Thank you for that gesture, a pleasure. and I hope you continue to have a simplified and modest life, it sounds like peace and that is good, a hug from my beloved country that is very troubled today, happy night.
Be safe and salud!
