Gloria invited her classmates (she takes English class once a week) over for an Asado on Friday Night. They cooked Matambre (beef loins) on the grill. I was proud of myself because this was the first time that I felt 99% comfortable in a group situation speaking the language and understanding the conversation. Everyone around me is so helpful and patient with me. Its a great feeling. Also today I had to pat myself on the back because I was in the park walking on the trail, and this guy ahead of me had his Boxer off the leash and it was running around like crazy. As I passed him on the trail, I actually commented in spanish to him that he had a cute dog and it had alot of energy.¨ And because he thanked me and smiled, this makes me believe he understood every word I said. There is nothing worse than when I´m talking and the person listening to me looks like they want to run away from me because they don´t understand my heavy accent trying to speak their language. Oh, how funny I must sound :-)
