Dear Reader, I was offline for a few days while I prepared for my final Spanish language exam. I’m happy to report that I passed my exam at the proficiency level (3/3, or three out of five in speaking and reading). I am now linguistically armed and fully capable of butchering the language with the greatest of ease. Watch out, Paraguay, here me come!
I’ll write more soon and dive back into learning Spanish at an advanced level in a way that suits my own learning style. For now, I’ll rest and recuperate, savor a beer or two (Yeungling, the East Coast brewer that sounds Chinese), and contemplate going to Disneyland (is that still the "in" thing to do when you reach a milestone?). For now, chau.
YEA! Felicitaciones cabroncito! Estamos muy orgulloso de vos. Cuando sales para Paraguay?
Congratulations! Now you can focus on enjoying the rest of your time in DC.
