I just took a trip down to Cali, Colombia in July for a week, which was my first time in South America! I’ve wanted to travel there for many years and the opportunity suddenly presented itself. It would have been helpful to spend more than a week studying Spanish before I left, because English isn’t very useful down there! It can be tough to make simple things happen like buying food, getting around and going to the grocery store without a way to communicate. And how about those times when you say something out of the phrasebook (feel excited!) and then the response isn’t what the book says should be the response. Too funny!
