So I've been knitting. Fritz and I stumbled upon this great yarn shop in our city wanderings last Saturday. I returned here by myself to get supplies later in the week.
And it was among these balls of yarn that I thought I had my first German language breakthrough! The key word here is "thought."
I was carefully considering which ball of yarn to buy when I understood a conversation I was overhearing between two other yarn customers! I could tell where one word ended and the next word began. I knew they were talking about colors. And I heard the one lady say she really loved the blue one!
And I was like "Oh my goodness! Two weeks in and this foreign language is starting to click!!" I couldn't believe it! My first moment of clarity!
Until I realized...
...the reason I understood was because they weren't speaking German. They were speaking Spanish. I got to the counter to pay for my yarn ball and asked, as I usually do, if we could complete the transaction in English. Ahhhh... some day. Maybe.
