Tell me. Listen to me.
Speak to me. Believe this or not: I am an introvert. I am also an over-thinker and observer. It is difficult for me to ask for help in most things.
How can I communicate to the people that I meet In Spain that I am happy, sad, that I enjoyed the food, drinks, and hospitality? How do I say, finally, that I am lost? It is something that makes me feel a little nervous.
I want to be welcomed and welcoming in a respectful and effective way. The feeling I do not want is like a lost soul in the woods. As much helpful Spanish as I can learn is what I want – not to feel comfortable, but to listen, learn, and to make a good impression.
Over 1400 km of walking, eating, resting, I want to remember that I tried to be a good fellow human on my journey down that long camino trail.
Speak to me: I know that I don’t know
I’m sure I’ll still be a lost soul in the woods, but I’ll learn to say it like this:
Soy una alma perdida en el bosque.

Alright, let me say this again in Spanish:
Digáme. Háblame.
Lo creas o no: soy un introvertido, un observador y un pensador exagerado. Es difícil para mí pedir ayuda en la mayoría de las cosas.
¿Cómo puedo comunicar a la gente que conozco en España que estoy feliz, triste, due disfruté de la comida, las bebidas y la hospitalidad? ¿Cómo digo, finalmente, que estoy perdido? Es algo que me pone un poco nervioso.
Quiero ser bienvenido y bienvenido de una manera respetuosa y efectiva. No quiero sentirme como un alma perdida en el bosque. Quiero aprender el español más útil que pueda, no para sentirme cómodo, sino para escuchar, aprender y causar una buena impresión.
Más de 1400 km de caminar, comer, descansar, quiero recordar que traté de ser un buen ser humano en mi viaje por ese largo camino.

Now that is probably the best Spanish you will hear me “speak”… ever? Ha ha.
I’ll simply be me doing the very best that I can.
Hasta luego to everyone.
