If you go to Colombia, you better speak at least a little Spanish. In my experience - several months, mostly spent in Bogota - NOBODY speaks any English in Colombia! Even in the visa office!
Oh, man, this is true in just about any Spanish-speaking country, which is why I love them. Knowing the language is taken as a huge compliment, and it's so encouraging to someone learning the language. In Mexico, in a marketplace, a vendor asked me to sit down and talk with them, wanting to know all the reasons I was learning Spanish.
Wait,
ReplyDeleteAre you saying Columbians will befriend you just because you speak a little Spanish?
That's funny.
PS: shame I can't buy the game. I'm from Indonesia, kilometers away from the stores that sell it.
