I made a new blog, Palabras de la Hada, to practice my Spanish. I’ll try to type in it as much as I can to practice and get better. It’s really hard to say what I want to because I don’t have the words yet. That’s why I made it… *sigh*
Maybe some posts about my day; I can’t get much more complicated than that yet. Maybe some song lyrics; translate them for practice. Hmm.
So if you speak Spanish and want to help correct me, por favor ayuda!

At work today, Louise was helping this girl find a book she wanted and asked her where she was from because she had noticed her accent. She said “I’m Croatian” and I was like O_O haha.
I told her about Jelena and Nela and that Jelena lives in Zagreb and Nela in Rijeka. The Croatian Girl (also known as Kristina somethingsomething-vich) also lives in Zagreb but lived in Germany for a while.
She was suprised I knew where Croatia is (next to Italy but across the water where Yugoslavia used to be). She said most people don’t have any clue where it is and ask her what language they speak, to which she says Croatian, and to which they say “oooh, fancy, you have your own language.” Louise wanted her to say something in Croatian so she asked what. So, as proof, I had her teach me how to say “fairy.” I don’t know how to write it but it’s said veen-treen-sza.
It made me feel a little closer to Jelena and Nela too haha.
(PS. Jelena, I consciously said Yel-en-uh when speaking to her instead of Juh-lee-nuh haha)
