Speaking is Spanish is the most difficult part of using the language--at least for me. I decided that in order to practice, I would find a recipe and relay what it said to a friend. I was hoping for brownies or cake, but I didn't find any with Spanish instructions. However, I found some fairly cheap soup and decided to try it. Although Megan is learning Spanish, she said that she is pretty unfamiliar with cooking terms because she skipped straight to Spanish 3 in college. I had to use lots of motions and pointing to get her to understand what I wanted. This task also allowed both of us to review commands. I thought back, once again, to the first week of class in which we discussed different theories. I thought of the one that said that exaggeration is necessary, and this is very true. I know that the more I practice this, the more comfortable I will be acting ridiculous.
