I boycotted the entire language saying "Why would I ever want to travel South of the Border?"<br /><br />Then I met my wife who is from Mexico.<br /><br />I can speak better than I understand, but I've always been a better talker than listener. However, dialect always throws a monkey-wrench in things. My wife is fluent in English, but she has difficulty understanding accents from the Southern U.S. and the United Kingdom. Heck, she has difficulty understanding Paraguayanos one-third the time. And Argentines talk like Italians speaking Spanish. <br /><br />Anyway...I can get by most of the time. The rest of the time I fake it.<br />; )JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03263662621289630246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-30951685540479092032015-07-12T10:03:11.866-07:002015-07-12T10:03:11.866-07:00"Humans are human.
