So I lied.
I can't understand for shit. Okay, thats not true either. The pendulum swings, as it does with everything when you're studying/traveling abroad. Some days one would never guess I was secretly an american wandering around and others I simply can't manage to say good morning without a confused look from anyone within my radius. True, my comprehension went way up and I did have a breakthrough last month. but c'mon. really? seals? I got excited because I understood ten, fifteen minutes or so of the discovery channel. Obviously things were a little different when I went back out into the world. Still, small victories are victories. It wasn't really until this month, january, that I've started to actually fall into that smooth natural state of understanding. I've just been getting so accustomed to the way people speak and words so commonly used that I don't really have to think too much anymore. My mumbling escapades are molding themselves into nearly comprehendible sentences with actual meaning. honestly, my main objective is more focused on just what to say rather than how to say it. Knowing me including all randomness, it shouldn't be too hard.
