Unexpected Latin Remix

The other day I was downloading a music on my iPod and I came across a song that I wanted so clicked download with out looking at the words in parenthesis. I continued browsing for more songs while it downloaded. When it was finally finished I went and listened to it and it was in English so I figured it was all in English. I continued browsing for more songs and about half way through the song a guy jumped in and started seeing in Spanish. Confused I went and looked at the name and it said "Official Latin Remix" so I kept it.

When the FFA went to the state convention, we saw many people and things. It only stands to reason that in Ames we would hear some people speaking Spanish. We were on our way to the convention hall, we had just gotten out of the elevator in our hotel, and we heard someone speaking a foreign language. Immediately we recognized it as Spanish. We all looked at each other and kinda laughed, because they were talking so fast, we could hear little snippits of the conversation, but we could recognize some of the words they were saying! It was amusing, hearing how fast they could speak and still understand what the other was saying! It kinda blew my mind! I hope someday I will be able to talk that fast!

Shopping

Me and my mom were shopping two weekends ago when we ran into a mother and daughter. The mother was talking to her daughter in spanish and was telling her that she could only get one of the three shirts that she had picked out. They walked away and later we met them at the check out again and my mom asked me what they were saying and I couldn't tell because they were talking fast and I didn't recognize the words.

World War 1

World War 1

Today in World History we were talking about World War 1. Mr. Huegel told us that the Germans didn't want the U.S. in the war so they sent Mexico a coded letter telling them to attack the United States. Thinking about that, if Mexico would have attacked us think about how history would have changed, think about how the relationship of the U.S. and Mexico would be today. Things would be so much different and I'm glad they didn't attack us because we are so close to them and we have a lot of common.

Spanish music

Every other day I have study hall with Jenna Beitz. She usually plays music off of her Ipod while we do our homework. One day while her Ipod was on shuffle, a spanish song came on. The song "El beso del Final" was playing and we were wondering if all spanish songs were the same type and beat, so we looked them up. I liked the music we heard, it sounds different then our (besides the language). It had a different beat, some was more up beat than ours and they seem to have more emotion in their songs than ours.

Spanish

Me and my brother always talk Spanish when we don't wish for anyone in the room to know what we are saying.  It infuriates my other brother because he says this is America so if I want to speak Spanish I should go down to mexico and speak it there.  Randomly I will also talk Spanish to my dad and he will counter that with some German he learned in his youth.  This is maddening to me because whenever I ask him to teach me some he refuses and yet when I make him made with Spanish I offer to teach him some but he ultimately refuses that to.

Spanish people shopping

On Sunday I had to work. I was at the register and checking out this hispanic family. They had a couple pairs of clothes and some food. It was hard to understand cause when working the register you have to try to make the customer feel welcome and make small talk with them. They spoke in Spanish the whole time and I only understood alittle of it. I heard some words that we have learned and kinda was able to pick out what they may have been talking about to their kids.
