What I Learned Today

I was out the door by eight o'clock in order to be at the INS by eleven...Actually made really good time and was in and out again by eleven...Again, their service was great, but do hope the fingerprints "took" this time. The technician assured me they never call people back for a third session,so trust the biometrics are now finished.

On the way home I decided to listen to some elementary Spanish lessons I picked up at Costco some time ago, and have never used. I'm pleased to say I have moved beyond this level, but decided to use them mostly for the pronunciation.

Woman, with lovely accent in both Spanish and English takes the floor:

We are now going to learn about personal pronouns. In Spanish these are:
Yo Nosotros,as
Tu, Usted Vosotros,as Ustedes
El Ellos
Ella Ellas

The English translation for these is:
I We
You Y'all...What? Hit repeat...Y'all...Repeat...Y'all
He So it's not a mistake
She They really intended that
I can't believe it...
They (m)
They (f)

Now we will translate some simple sentences:
Soy estudiante...I am a student...Excellent...Muy bien!
Es rico....He is rich...Fantastico!
Todos ustedes son damas...You are all ladies....Wrong! No fantastico!...Y'ALL are all ladies...

Push the eject button...ENOUGH!!!

Night y'all....
