@songbirdct: Overall, I do ok. It's new situations with words I haven't heard before. Here in La Paz, there is a large ex pat community so a LOT of people speak English. I always say, estoy aprendiendo español, so they still speak to me in Spanish. I think the goodwill toward assimilation goes a long way. I love it here. Five out of five stars. would definitely recommend. #spanishlanguage #lapaz #lifeabroad #gratitude #expat
