How's My Spanish

All day, people have been asking how my trip was, and especially how my Spanish is. Well, my roommate Kevin (who speaks Spanish) seems to think I speak pretty well. I figure he's a better (and more realistic) judge than I am. Overall, I'm pleased with what I learned, but also acknowledge that there's plenty I don't understand. No surprise.

Anyhow, I speak easily on many subjects, but have huge gaps in my vocabulary. Even so, hand symbols and patience go a long way. As long as the person I'm talking to actually wants to talk to me - I'm good to go!

In any case, I hope I'm doing better than this...
