First conversation in Spanish outside
  • Carrie March 2013
    I just finished Essential Spanish a couple of days ago and I told myself when I did that I would try to have small conversations with people outside.  I had my first one tonight.  I went to McDonald's to get a Shamrock Shake and the woman behind the counter was Hispanic.  I greeted her, ordered my shake, she told me the price, I gave her the money, she gave me the change, got the shake, we thanked each other and said goodbye all in Spanish.  It's not a lot but it made me feel good and that I am accomplishing something with my language studies.

    It makes me smile that the first thing you ordered during your first Spanish conversation in the wild was a shamrock shake. That's great! An Irish-themed item in an American fast food chain ordered in Spanish. Me gusta mucho este mundo!

    Very good...   I try to order in Spanish does not usually work. Here in USA ) in Mexico I point and stuff... still not not fluid.   I get food but might not be what I want....  I eat most anything.  So I don't go hungry.

    Hola,

    Ordering food has its challenges: The waiter must be too busy to spend time with you or he might speak Spanish with some thick accent. However, I find that people usually react nicely when you try to communicate in their language. So, Keep trying, and let us know!

    Saludos,

    Carmen.
