Things are coming together more and more for me and Spanish. Of course, my capability varies day by day but I have a couple cool eureka moments I have never experienced until now. For example, the other day when we were on the bus home from Córdoba, my roommate and I were talking to one of the directors using a mix of both Spanish and English. She asked me to repeat what he said and I told her and she explained she didn't understand what he meant because the sentence was in Spanish. But I could have sworn he said it in English. So, that seems like my mind is starting to incorporate Spanish seamlessly. Very exciting! Another thing that happens to me a lot is Spanish words will just pop into my head while I'm talking and I say them before I even check in my head if it translates. And the word is indeed what I intended to say. These are mostly words that I couldn't necessarily think of if someone asked me what it meant in English, but they come out naturally. But I don't want to get too cocky with my progress because by no means am I anywhere near fluent!
