La Muneca

If you have to give a presentation in a foreign language, make it interesting. My Spanish during yesterday's presentation was so bad that I just started spitting out verbs in the infinitive, none of this bothering with pesky things like conjugation. Miraculously, nobody seemed to mind. They kept interrupting me with questions and asking to see pictures. This technique, in the end, made it so I did far less talking than I had anticipated. It was wonderful. Fabulous. And because everybody is so fascinated with Barbie, my 15-minute-long presentation in terrible Spanish became an hour-long class discussion in mediocre Spanish - spoken primarily by people other than myself. Advanced Spanish, here I come. I just need to bring my classmates with me, or I won't make it through my next presentation.
