Sólo una corrección. (Por lo demás: ¡Muy bien!)

I had to take a foreign language in college and Spanish is both practical and beautiful. It is a subject I never get tired of studying.

In 1970 I went with two friends to Lloret de Mar on the Costa Brava for two weeks. We shared a table in the hotel dining room with two lads from Manchester. One day one of them made the remark "We British are very ignorant - we travel everywhere and expect everybody to speak English!". I was outraged at this and resolved to remedy it.

On my return I began to follow the BBC's imaginatively named radio course "Starting Spanish". I got on well with this, it was a good course.

The next year we went to the Costa Blanca and I was pleased how well I managed with my fairly limited Spanish. So I continued studying.

The following couple of years we went to Sitges near Barcelona and I couldn't understand a word in spite of my advancing studies! Then on my third visit I learned they weren't speaking Spanish at all, but Catalán!

On a later visit to Sitges I was on the beach and met a charming señorita, and two years later we were married and soon after we had a daughter who herself lived for fourteen years in Spain.

She is now back in the UK and has just made us grandparents.

AND ALL BECAUSE OF AN OFF-THE-CUFF REMARK IN A SPANISH HOTEL FORTY-TWO YEARS AGO!

Why

A mi me gusta porque, aunque hablo mejor ingles que español, el español es mi primer lenguaje. Me hace falta hablar con otra gente latina.
