Spanish with Mrs O’Riordan

Only two more Spanish classes to go and I am beginning to wonder if the Costa Rican population will understand my irish-accented Spanish. There are only two of us in the class and Michelle from Newmarket on Fergus is really only interested in ordering more beer, finding out when the bars open and negotiating the price for her next tattoo. This has limited our conversation somewhat – although I have learned a few new English words! It was almost a relief to arrive today to find that she hadn’t been able to come to class because of the flooding. 1 ½ hours of one-to-one conversation with Mrs O’Riordan however was a bit of a challenge.
