Perfect imperfection

Perfect imperfection

What’s up everyone. So, I have a couple of interesting stories to share with you. Over the last year, I have been learning Spanish, and when I talk to my girlfriend, we often speak using Spanglish. For those who don't know, Spanglish is when you mix English and Spanish together.

It is really interesting and fun to do. One day we were cooking dinner, and she told me she wanted "pan," so I assumed she meant a frying pan, and I grabbed the frying pan and was attempting to hand it to her, and she gave me a look like I was absolutely crazy. She said "pan" again, and I grabbed another with the same result, and then she grabbed it herself, and what she grabbed was not a frying pan but bread. I laughed so hard lol.

The second story is even funnier, and it will show you that learning can be very fun. I was at work, and Lili sent me a message that said her "pies" (meaning feet) hurt, and me being eager to learn thought the pronunciation was like the English "pies" you eat (apple pie, pumpkin pie, etc.). For about two months, I was telling Lili and other people that my "pies" hurt, and most people looked at me like I was nuts. Eventually, I heard Lili pronounce it properly, and I asked her why she let me say it wrong, and she told me she thought it was cute, and I told her it is not cut telling people my "pies" (feet) hurt, and everyone looks at me like I am crazy, and she began laughing so hard.

The moral of the story is to not be afraid or embarrassed of making mistakes. It is all part of the learning process. Laugh and learn more. Live the language. Until next time, I wish you all the best.
