So. What's been happening so far w/mi espanol? Nada mucho.

Honestly having trouble staying on track with this...but, I am at least trying to live in the "mundo" espanol.

Riding to and from work, I listen to Spanish language music.

Yesteday, Marc Anthony sang to me:

No hay dia que pase
que yo no me acuerde de ti
no hay labios que bese
que no me sepan a ti
tu te quedaste para siempre aqui
en mi pensamiento
tu me dominas tienes el control
de mi sentimientos
aunque estes lejos de nada me sirve
porque yo te quiero
ay mas que ayer
ay mas que ayer

yo trato, trato, trato pero no te olvido
ohh yo lucho, lucho, lucho
y no lo consigo
lo pongo todo de mi parte
y no es suficiente
es como seguir nadando
CONTRA LA CORRIENTE
yo trato, trato, trato
pero no te olvido
ohhh yo lucho, lucho, lucho
y no lo consigo
lo pongo todo de mi parte
y no es suficiente
es como seguir nadando
CONTRA LA CORRIENTE
CONTRA LA CORRIENTE, amor

THEN, the luz went off in my head!

"es como seguir nadando contra la corriente

It's like swimming against the current...I UNDERSTAND! Of course, before I sorta knew he was singing about a lost love, but I didn't get the deeper meaning...how the words fit grammatically. But I felt it this time, internally, nadando...swimming...the present progressive...I struggled w/this tense in my refresher course last year...but now, it's clicking.

yo trato, trato, trato
pero no te olvido
ohhh yo lucho, lucho, lucho
y no lo consigo
lo pongo todo de mi parte
y no es suficiente


I try, but I can't forget you. I fight, but I can't master this/get it...I put all of myself into this, but it's not enough...it's like swimming against the current.

Sounds so much better in Spanish. I love the click moments in language...me amo la luz de las lenguas!

Let's take a test on "hay" the lesson I studied two days ago...drum roll please!

The Verb Form Hay [Quiz #1] completed! Congratulations! 100% Correct!

Fantastico!

Yo soy lista para continuar con mis lecciones de espanol!

Hasta jueves!
