Lost in Translation

...what happens to be a great movie and a phrase applicable to my current state. Sometimes I simply cannot understand my host mom. For instance, she knocks on the door this morning while I'm in the shower, asking me if the water's too cold (which it wasn't). I was a bit frazzled because I thought I had been in there too long, and she wanted me to turn off the water. Anyway, she tells me 'continue, continue'. When I got out, it took her about 5 minutes of explaining for me to understand that when you turn on the hot water, the heater in the kitchen cupboard produces fire. Since she was in the kitchen and didn't see any fire, she thought I didn't have hot water. That was all haha. I wish I could understand everything she's saying 24/7, but I know it will take time (patience was always a virtue I lacked, eh mom?) I felt a little better, though, upon reminding myself that yesterday in grammar class, Ruben our teacher told us if we could understand los sevillanos, we could understand all Spanish-speaking people. Phew. 

Bob- "Can you keep a secret? I'm trying to organize a prison break. I'm looking for, like, an accomplice. We have to first get out of this bar, then the hotel, then the city, and then the country. Are you in or you out?"

Charlotte- "I'm in. I'll pack my stuff."

Bob- "I hope you've had enough to drink. It's going to take courage."
