Valle de Angeles

I went on another adventure today! Actually, I’ve already been on this adventure, but this time I didn’t go to Valle with 14 other people, just 2. So it was more exciting. It was more difficult and took more independence. It was fun. We did our Christmas shopping  A group of other college students were at the same shop as us at one point and a couple of them were from by the Alabama/Florida state line. The others were from Tegucigalpa. We kept talking in Spanish, because it’s hard to know how to respond when people talk to us in English. Do we respond in English or Spanish? Do they know a lot of English? The guys from Alabama/Florida kept talking in English, but the girls from Tegus talked in Spanish. The told us that our Spanish was really good. That was really encouraging to hear because I had done most of the talking for us. Of course that got me thinking. I started to reflect on my Spanish. I think that it has improved a lot, but I think that possibly the most significant change is in my confidence in myself. I’m not so afraid of not knowing the words or the conjugations anymore. Now I just talk.
