A mouthful of success

6 Dec

The pastel vasco was a success!

My teacher, who is from the Basque country, even said it was delicious!

And despite my last minute cramming I managed to remember most of the variations of comer and dar – the latter being almost impossible.

It’s just such a strange concept to get your head around as a native English speaker – The idea that a verb changes depending on who is doing it.

So if I’m playing, or you’re playing, or he’s playing, or they are playing – It’s different!

Anyway it’s slowly starting to make sense and stick.

There is only 1 more Spanish class for the year and then it’s up to me to practice over the Christmas/ New Year break. That’s the challenge!

I wonder if baking more basque cake counts as homework..
