Una Proposición./A Proposition.

The studying hasn't been quite as consistent as I'd hoped but I'm still plugging away. The Husband is heading to Mexico soon. He hasn't studied as much as he'd hoped so he's planning a Spanish Crash Course while on the plane. Hopefully he'll come back motivated and excited to use the language more around me.
At this point I'm seriously considering how I can maybe "rent a Spanish-Speaking Friend". Does that exist? I just want someone to hang out with once a week or so that will speak to me in Spanish, will correct me, laugh, and point while I attempt to speak to her in Spanish. Doesn't that sound enticing? Any takers?

Eso es lo Que Dije/That's What I Said

Today we started our "Spanish 10 Minutes"... 10 minutes in which the husband and I can only speak in Spanish. (We'll add 10 minutes to the situation each week.) It was pretty funny. We had several silent MINUTES. We also had some "debate" over the appropriate way to say some things. Clearly we don't know very much. The ten minutes ended with me attempting to say, "That's what I said!" I ended up saying something like this: "Que lo dice" (which I now think means something like "How do you say it" . I texted my dad to find out how it's really supposed to be said. His reply was, "Eso es lo que dije".

Right... that's what I said... :)
