Spanish is a newborn baby hearing words for the first time,
dazed and confused and completely clueless.
Spanish is going out to dinner and barely understanding,
your waiter, because of his accent.
Spanish is hearing an unfamiliar tune and breaking out in
dance, without knowing what culture you’re representing.
Spanish is being asked a question and being stared at until
you give a reply, and you have nothing to say.
If all the people in America knew Spanish, there would be
a huge decrease in confusion and misinterpretation.
Spanish is passing your friend in the hallway and
jokingly saying “Que Pasa Amigo!”
Spanish is doing the cha-cha and shimmy at your
local high school dance.
If a friend jokingly tries to greet you by rambling the words
“me gusta comer pastel” just because they sound Spanish
and you know that means “I like to eat pie,”
then who knows Spanish better?
