Improving My Language Skills
I have spoken more Spanish in the last two months than I have in the last two years. This is awesome! There are so many people from Spanish-speaking countries that come to Walt Disney World, both as guests and cast members. I work with a lot of puertoriqueños (Puerto Ricans) so I get to hear it around the kitchen. But also, like the 55 Brazilians the other day, I get to play charades with lots of guests. I speak as much Spanish as I can and they do the same with English. It's pretty entertaining and I feel like I'm being compassionate :) I have gotten better with my numbers as that is a big part of working on the register. When I started, I could translate single digits just fine, but multi-place value prices were not so good. I've still got some practicing to do, but I'm much better already! TTFN

Yay! It sounds like a wonderful time, Katie. I'm very happy to hear how much you are enjoying yourself. I only wish the summer were longer!
ReplyDeleteOh thanks Erin :) I sometimes wish I could be here forever. But I am sort of glad my program is only 4 months long. Some of my friends are getting tired of their 7-month programs. But I don't know if I'd ever get sick of this.
