Yesterday I was standing on the corner, waiting for the bus. I saw this guy across the street, and thought "I know him. How do I know him?" I thought for a few seconds, and realized he's one of the guys who works in the taco place up the street from my house. I wonder if I've been to the taco place too many times, since the only Mexicans I recognize are either from church or the taco place.
One of my new Spanish words this week is chismoso. Which means gossiper. Tonight a few people are at my house, and a little while ago we were just all standing around. They were talking, I was just trying to be involved. My host sister, Diana, said that she was tired, but was a chismoso so she was staying up to listen to everything. She said that I'm also a chismoso that's why I was hanging around. She then told mama that, and she asked me if it was true. And I said, "No, no entiendo nada pero los quiero mucho." It was a suck-up line. I said, "No, I don't understand anything, but I love you all so much." That's not entirely true, I understand some, but the more I let them think I don't understand the more gossip I'm sure to hear. Hehehe... Ok, for anyone who doesn't like that I'm joking about gossip, it's just a joke. I don't think my family actually gossips about anything, I just think it's a way of joking around.
I was on the metro today thinking about something interesting to blog about,but I don't remember what it was now. Stink! Well, there's always tomorrow!

in rach's opinion, to know peeps at church and at the taco stands is CRUCIAL. you know God's people, and you starting to get be familiar with the people's on the corner...who God LOVES. :-)
ReplyDeletechismoso - its a good word to know, i'll hopefully remember it.
Becs, i propose something. Hopefully you will agree. Every time you blog - until the time you come back to the states. I think you should teach us (me) a new Spanish word that you use in every day talkings w/ peeps. :-) Are u up for that?! Please say yes. i love speaking English and throwin in an Español word in just to make me look like i know Spanish...you know?! ;o) Remember how i tried to memorize Spanish words when wit ya's. I would try to think of something that would either sound like the Spanish word...or a word that gave me a visual to remember the Spanish word? Remember me doing that? Well, if not. For the word chismoso, i think of the word "cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeesy" Dont be a cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeesy gosip...or chismoso! i think i'll remember this word...i'm so good. :-) Thx for sayin hi the other nite...have fun at Lomos! Addios, mucho amore, Rach
You're awesome, Rach. I will gladly teach you a new word every time I blog. :) Maybe we'll both be fluent ... eventually.
