Regarding the post before last where I mentioned being locked out of my hotel room...
I just woke up and not being able to say "locked out" in Spanish was on my mind. I just realized that by doing Duolingo for barely over 50 days I actually could have communicated my needs to her. "Cerrado" and pointing to the door, "No llaves" for no keys, and "Estudiar español" would probably let her know I'm trying. I could've even said "roja" and pointed to my crotch to let her know I was on my period if I wanted to. 😂
That's crazy. I never thought I'd be speaking Spanish, and I know that is some broken-ass, baby Spanish, but I need to internalize the fact that I CAN communicate to some degree now. I'm honestly pretty mind blown.
Too bad I was in panic mode when I saw her and not thinking clearly. What a missed opportunity to connect with her better.
