Movies

Sometimes when I watch movies and they have a little bit of Spanish, I listen closely to see if I understand any of it. I really enjoy when I do understand because it makes me feel a little smarter. I pick out basic words, and even though I don't always understand the whole sentence, I get the basic meaning of it. One movie that I really enjoy that has some Spanish in it is Courageous. There is Mexican man who is in the back of his friend's police car because he's getting a ride to work. His friends then have to pick up a criminal and have Javier pretend to be a leader in a gang. Javier talks about going out for lunch and what he's going to get. The criminal thinks Javier is threatening him and trying to kill him. I think it's pretty funny. If the criminal understood some Spanish, he would realize Javier wasn't threatening him at all.
