I mean, where I grew up, we were taught to say: "The jerk is watching you!" 😁

I've been noticing lately that most people on this forum have ties to Austin, so I'm feeling a little threatened here, I guess.

I actually have family out in Cleveland, but we haven't even spoken to each other through the whole war.
We probably won't talk much moving forward either, maybe because of how messy things are between our countries, or just because we can't seem to remember to call...
At this point, we aren't even really acting like a family. 🙄 😢

(Not sure if I phrased that right in English 😕 🙂 )

Not really; you're actually doing pretty well. 👍

I mean, yeah, it wouldn't be hard to pick up, though you’d probably hit a wall once you had to deal with those brutal language exams at the University of Chicago.
Just keep Channel A on in the background, you know? The sounds will eventually just stick in your head. 🙂
Does anyone happen to know where I could go in Austin to learn some Spanish quickly and actually get results...? I'm looking into it. I can understand a decent amount, but I can't really speak it. And I really want to.

p.s. Same goes for Portuguese, honestly, except I don't know a single word... besides maybe "I love you." 😳 😁

Look, you guys already know the deal. She came back home to Cleveland from the States with her two little girls, thinking she could actually make a career happen here in America. But let's be real—nobody was putting in even half the work around here, so she ended up heading over to Mexico. And yeah, it turned out exactly how Deo said it would. As for where she’s at now? I have zero clue, and honestly, I don't really care. It's not like I spent all those years dwelling on it or anything, though we used to jump on every track they played at the local radio station whenever they'd spin some Hall & Oates...
