Something New

So, starting in May of this year, I decided to try something new....a foreign language (although it's not so foreign seeing as such a high percentage of the population speaks it). I'm learning Spanish from Mrs. Laura. It's absolutely so much fun, but I haven't practiced in about a month. (I know...twenty lashes with a wet noodle.)

Here's what I know so far...(well, not all of it - it might take up too much room...lol)

Buenos dias = good morning
Buenas tardes = good "late" day (2:00-7:00 PM)
Buenos Noches = good evening (after dark)
Hola. Como estas. = casual way to say Hello, how are you?
Hola. Como esta usted? = formal way to say Hello, how are you?
Mi llamo Karen = I call myself Karen/My name is Karen
Mucho gusto = it's a pleasure to meet you

Okay...I'll stop for now, but it's so much fun. I've got to get studying so my teacher doesn't 'throw the book at me' tonight. :)

Mi perro es un impermeable.

"My dog is a raincoat."

That's all I got.

lol - I'm just trying to imagine you using your dog for a raincoat. Kinda hard to wrap your brain around...
