Madrid is fantastic, and the surrounding cities are so neat and fun to explore as well!<br />As for the language thing, it's true that Spaniards don't do English well ;), but you'll pick it up quickly, and maybe even get lucky and get that Spanish lisp!<br />I just read an article last week about a guy living in France and how he learned French quickly: he kept a daily routine, doing the same things every day so that his brain would become accustomed to everything, he listened to French music as he went about his day, and he also read children's books in French, or books that he had already read in English. I'd recommend going that route to really get a basic understanding of Spanish because it's easier to figure out what words mean if you already know the story in English beforehand. Also, if you can, Duolingo is a really great app to help you learn many different languages, but Spanish is their biggest. Good luck! And don't feel intimidated :)kaylahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12510204955598062035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-255696278171460820.post-84409591811878663182014-11-10T09:23:47.907-07:002014-11-10T09:23:47.907-07:00i am floored that your baby didn't cry once on...i am floored that your baby didn't cry once on those flights. what a champ! i'm excited to hear more about your spanish adventures, you guys are seriously so cool. in the meantime, i'll pray that more english speakers will inhabit your area :) hahaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
