Hola!

I am taking Spanish classes!!! Today, or rather, tonight was my first lesson. The teacher, much to my disappointment, was not a hot Spanish chick. He was, instead, a petite man probably in his forties. But he was quite a good teacher. We called him Senor Olger ('Olger' pronounced as 'Oh-her' and the 'her' is pronounced as if you are clearing your throat). I was Senorita blar blar. I was sitting beside another Senorita who happens to live in the same area as yours truly. What a coincidence! There was only one ang-moh in the class and I think he had the best Spanish accent while the rest of us sounded like we were speaking Japanese with a bit of Italian.

Anyway the 'rrrrrr' sounds are killing me! I can't fucking roll my tongue!

Here is Spanish 101 for the unintiated:
