00:00Oh, really good.
00:01I got to just, you touched on me coming from Africa.
00:05I found coming to a new continent, new society that theoretically speaks the same language was fairly difficult because there
00:12are two very distinctly different brands of English, as I discovered when I came to North America.
00:17So did you find the Spanish you learned at the University of Arizona, was it markedly different from the everyday
00:24Spanish in Costa Rica or not really so?
00:26Yeah. Well, you always have your local expressions in the slang.
00:31But if I not only did I learn Spanish, but I spent my junior year abroad in Spain.
00:37So I was able to learn Castilian and Andalusian Spanish with the vosotros form.
00:41So I could off the bat, even though they understood it, realize that I have structured discipline and put in
00:48the efforts to show this sort of good faith to communicate in your language.
00:52So obviously it really added to my momentum and my first impression, but it's the fun part is learning the
01:01local expressions.
01:02And if you want me to tell you the bad words, I know those too.
01:06That's not what I'm here for.
01:07It's really more for the romantic language experience to see if I could properly communicate and express myself.
01:14And obviously you can build upon something like that.
01:18Sure.
01:19No, interesting.
01:20Back to you, Cassie.
