Despues de una semana en Costa Rica…

After one week in Costa Rica…

esto es lo que se/que he aprendido

this is what I know/what I have learned:

  • Necesito descubrir como convertir esto al espanol teclado para poder escribir en espanol correctamente

I need to figure out how to turn this into a Spanish keyboard so I can write in Spanish correctly

  • I need to dedicate time to reviewing my previous Spanish lessons every night

Necesito dedicar tiempo a repasar mis lecciones de espanol anteriores todas las noches

  • I need to speak as much Spanish as I can with locals, even though I know I will get it wrong more often than I get it right

Necesito hablar espanol tanto como pueda con locales aunque se que me equivocare mas a menudo de lo que acertare

  • This culture is far more accepting of diversity than the United States. Hurray!

Esta cultura es mucho mas tolerante con la diversidad que Estados Unidos. Hurra!

  • Sunscreen and insect repellent are must haves — sunscreen daily, insect repellent nightly after sunset

El protector solar y el repelente de insectos son imprescindibles — protector solar a diario, y repelente de insectos por la noche despues del atardecer

  • I love it here!

Me encanta estar aqui!

  • Good food, good people, good environment, good drivers! Bad drivers die young!

Buena comida, buena gente, buen ambiente, buenos conductores! Las malas conductores mueron jovenes!

  • I really need to take a video of the way people drive here. It looks like mayhem, but it works!

Realmente necesito grabar un video de como conduce la gente aqui. Parece un caos pero funciona!

  • Uber is very inexpensive here. Buses are even less expensive, but I haven’t taken a trip on one yet.

Uber is muy barato aqui. Los autobuses son aun mas barato, pero aun no he vaijado en uno.

  • Education is usually free and the education that carries a price is very reasonable/inexpensive, so the educated population here exceeds the United States.

La educacion suele ser gratuita y la educacion que tiene un precio es muy razonable/barata, por lo que poblacion educada aqui supera al de Estados Unidos

  • Thank goodness for Google Translate right now. It is helping me create this post even as it reminds me of what I learned earlier about Spanish sentence structure.

Gracias  a Dios per el traductor de Google. Me esta ayundando a crear esta publicacion y al mismo tiempo me recuerda lo que aprendi antes sobre la estructura de las oraciones en espanol.

 

That’s all for now! The sun is up. I need to eat breakfast and prepare for the day! More later!

Eso es todo por ahora. Necesito desayunar y preparme para el dia. Mas tarde!
