👣 Noire Pilgrim: Speak to Me

•

Tell me. Listen to me.

Speak to me. Believe this or not: I am an introvert. I am also an over-thinker and observer. It is difficult for me to ask for help in most things.

How can I communicate to the people that I meet In Spain that I am happy, sad, that I enjoyed the food, drinks, and hospitality? How do I say, finally, that I am lost? It is something that makes me feel a little nervous.

I want to be welcomed and welcoming in a respectful and effective way. The feeling I do not want is like a lost soul in the woods. As much helpful Spanish as I can learn is what I want – not to feel comfortable, but to listen, learn, and to make a good impression.

Over 1400 km of walking, eating, resting, I want to remember that I tried to be a good fellow human on my journey down that long camino trail.

Speak to me: I know that I don’t know

I’m sure I’ll still be a lost soul in the woods, but I’ll learn to say it like this:

Soy una alma perdida en el bosque.

_____________

Alright, let me say this again in Spanish:

Digáme. Háblame.

Lo creas o no: soy un introvertido, un observador y un pensador exagerado. Es difícil para mí pedir ayuda en la mayoría de las cosas.

¿Cómo puedo comunicar a la gente que conozco en España que estoy feliz, triste, due disfruté de la comida, las bebidas y la hospitalidad? ¿Cómo digo, finalmente, que estoy perdido? Es algo que me pone un poco nervioso.

Quiero ser bienvenido y bienvenido de una manera respetuosa y efectiva. No quiero sentirme como un alma perdida en el bosque. Quiero aprender el español más útil que pueda, no para sentirme cómodo, sino para escuchar, aprender y causar una buena impresión.

Más de 1400 km de caminar, comer, descansar, quiero recordar que traté de ser un buen ser humano en mi viaje por ese largo camino.

🌹

Now that is probably the best Spanish you will hear me “speak”… ever? Ha ha.

I’ll simply be me doing the very best that I can.

Hasta luego to everyone.
