Even though I've been living in Spain for five years, my Spanish is still a work in progress. Here's a clip from my Substack on my language journey.

" I do speak Spanish.

About 75% of my days are in Spanish because I’m either talking with my Spanish boyfriend, having a conversation with the fruit ladies at the market, or taking dance classes in Spanish. Let’s not forget my Spanish-speaking friends.

I’m purposely calling myself out because I want to break some of the expectations, misconceptions, and egos around language learning.

I want to talk about my language journey for anyone who is:

• Learning Spanish

• Struggling with learning Spanish or any other language

• Feeling the struggle of being bilingual and expressing yourself

• Wanting to come to Spain and wondering how much Spanish they’ll need

If this is you, I hope you feel seen in what I’m about to share.

Saw the movie " Weapons," which was well done but not a favorite.
