The language

So some people have been wondering how I´m progressing at the language. To be honest, I think its going pretty well. I´m able to make myself known and to hold conversations in Spanish. A good (kind of crazy) example is from last night. My host father came in shouting that there was a zorra in the front yard. I ran out expecting to see a fox, but instead found it was an opposum. This lead to a discussion where I explained to my little brother (who´s 17) that opossums are related to kangaroos, and a description of a platypus. I was understood if not necessarily believed.
