Lost in translation
Okay now that my first week in Spain has passed I am ready to post my list of words to look up. I would write a word down in Spanish (or English) and find the definition next time I had wifi. So go ahead and enjoy my troubles. This may be telling:
Confused-confundido
Manta-blanket
Maricon-fag
Loud-fuerte
Noise-ruido
Heels-tacones
Diablo-devil
Matar-to
kill
Bruto/asco-gross
Pesa-heavy
Guay
o guau-cool
Estas
seguro-are you sure?
Anyways there's the bulk of them but add in all the misunderstandings. Like Americans pronounce wifi as why-fie and Spaniards pronounce it whiff-iee. That one took a while to catch on...as do many others.
