Español (Castellano)

Hola hermosos!

Today I'm here to talk about another language I have come to know.

I started learning Spanish on my freshman year of highschool (Portugal's 10th Grade), and I learned it for two years, reaching B2 level!

I'm a little rusty now, so I try to practice it from time to time, I sometimes watch videos completly in spanish, or I look for subs in spanish for tv shows/anime instead of english ones, just to polish up a little. While I understand relatively well the language, speaking sometimes is trickier, because I have to mentally put together whole sentences which is a little difficult for me, and the similarity to portuguese just makes it worse because I sometimes jamble it up a little.

I did take an exam in the end of my spanish classes and scored 17 (out of 20) and overall I had a 16 if I'm not mistaken, which isn't excellent because I had a really tough time with grammar, but I'm happy with the result, to me it was a good grade!

I also had the opportunity to put my abilities to the test earlier this year on a school trip to Madrid, where I was forced to interact with the culture in a much more direct way, it was really fun, although I didn't speak much spanish, mostly with store clerks and museum guides, still I was happy to have that experience to get out of my comfort zone.

This is all for now, hope you liked one ore language post, I won't write many posts in spanish since it's not something I'm currently learning, but I might post some fun facts and stuff like that, so look forward to that!
