Ok so this is going to be a quick post, because it is something that I forgot to mention a few days ago. So in preperation for this longer stay in Dominican this year, I took Spanish class at school. I learned the basics and learned enough that I can somewhat get across what I am trying to say and understand. But I really thought that I had the basics down pat.
So when we were the orphanage the other day, a little girl asked me "tu nombre"?, which means "your name"?. I have only learned that name is "llama"...so I thought that 'nombre' meant number. Basically I thought the little girl was asking me my age. So I told her "mi nombre es 20", translating into "my name is 20". However the 5year old little girl picked up on my confusion and corrected me. Hahaha oh the joys of language barriers.
