過去簡單式

Hey guys, I'm still on the Camino de Santiago and I wanted to share a quick story with you guys

about something that happened to me here on the Camino.

And it sort of offers a bit of a different perspective from

The last video I made for you guys a few weeks ago from when I was in France.

This happened to me yesterday and I walked all day

That's just life on the Camino. You're walking walking walking. It's hot you're tired sweating and

Finally I got to the destination that I wanted to walk to

And I get to the alberge. An alberge is kind of like a hostel and I get in there  and

It's about 1:00 2:00 in the afternoon, and I talked to the "hospitalero" which is like the

We talked for a little bit and he was only speaking English to me and I can tell that his English is is really broken

But he's trying and I told him right up front

"Hablo, español" and I said if it's easier for you we speak Spanish.

But he kind of ignored that and he just kept speaking

English and it was bad, you know, he would be like "Eh, the most important... eh...

You know, and it's just kind of painful but he kept trying and

You know, you know we sat there and I have to confess

I got a little annoyed because it just took five times longer than it needed to

It's really annoying because I have to go to the bathroom and I just walked all day long. I'm hot. I'm sweaty. I'm tired

I just want to get to my bed and just take a load off

10 minutes of struggling through his English

"Perdón. Es que quiero practicar mi Inglés."

You know and he seemed a little downtrodden and he reverted to Spanish and at that moment I kind of

What was going on. And I said, "oh no, I'm not letting you give up on your dream of learning English."

I didn't say that out loud, but I thought that

and he switched back to to Spanish a little bit and

And I didn't let him after that point when I realized what was going on.

I switched it back to English and I only let him speak English to me.

And I think that really brightened his day. Gave him some time to practic,

It kind of gave me a different perspective because

I'm the one here in the channel saying don't be afraid

To practice your languages whether you're annoying whether it's embarrassing whether you screw up make tons of mistakes

You gotta embrace your mistakes. You gotta be bold when you're practicing your language without

Just have to do it. Just open your mouth and speak no matter what the consequences no matter how embarrassing it is.

And it really made it a little bit more real for me today because I was on the other side and

You know, it really is an issue. Sometimes people are gonna be annoyed but

If you give in to that, you're not gonna learn if you

If you let that defeat you and just revert to your native language

You're not gonna learn and he pushed through I mean granted he he almost gave up

And if I would have let him give up then that just would have been the end of it

And a lot of people are really interested in helping you learn their native language because their language is special to them

And if you let them know that you're just really passionate about learning their language and you can change their perspective

I originally was kind of annoyed and just frustrated and trying to hurry and then

For whatever reason I didn't realize that he he needed someone to practice his English with

But when he just told me that it changed my perspective and I became a lot more understanding

So that's the story. I don't know there's several

Different points that you could take out of it

I guess make of it what you will but I think it's interesting things to think about

Just another experience here on the Camino and

Camino de Santiago is really just an amazing experience

I highly recommend it for anyone especially language learners a lot of lessons to be learned here

So that's just my video for today. I wanted to make it quick and brief and
