30 sec English

English in 30 sec.

To many, going to school to learn anything is the way to go. For me, is either hands on learning or by repetitions. I learned how to swim when I was almost 5 and I'm still doing it. My coach is trying to fix the bad technique I learned in almost 15 years of swimming and I have made some progress, but the day I soaked swimming the way it's suppose to be, was the day I was swimming next to one of the youngest kids from Team Key Biscayne Accuatic. I think hes name is Nico and I will always remember that day because by watching and imitating him, I improved my technique.

Today was no different. I was going on the elevator, when a girl who was clearly an American, jumped in talking of course, on her cellphone.I wasn't really paying attention but when she started speaking again I started to listen because when something catches my attention, I swear by Coca Cola I'm a very good student. And there she was explaining to someone why "they shouldn't be doing what they are doing" and there I was, taking mental notes. So by the end of the 30 sec ride, I learned:

"they are throwing me out the bus because they are directing questions to the wrong person"

"you see what I'm saying?"

"where does this leave me" you see what I'm saying?

I know to you this might sound like prekindergarten English, but for me was awesome.

Like always,

With Love.
