My Spanish

So, how’s the Spanish going? Pretty well. Now, I understand basically everything I hear, and I can communicate without too much trouble. I still have problems with complex sentence constructions, but that’s OK because sometimes in life I like complexity too much.

During conversations at the office, when we are thinking through something new, or working on a project, there are often long pauses as I’m thinking through something. I finally told my colleague “Just so you know, it’s not the Spanish. I think slow in English too.”
