iKnow I'm Falling Behind...

Well, iknow yelled at me tonight for falling behind - it wanted me to do like, 50 of them!
Fat chance. It's late and i've got to get to bed.
I did 30, and only two words in each were new, some of them dumb numbers/weekdays still.

Today I will forbear a list, as there's little new anyway.

Here's the interesting stuff.

こっち(kocchi) - here
(i need to look up the "there" equivalent...)

開く - hiraku - open

つける(tsukuru) - switch on (to go with kesu- 消す - switch off !)

乾く - kawaku - be thirsty
二つ - futatsu - two things

Here's some I pulled from the example sentences.
The first was from "God, spirit" and other was from "why"
信じる - shinjiru - to believe/trust/have faith (in) (religious word)
泣く - naku - to cry
Tomar v. Tomaru
I have a language confusion I'm trying to sort out.
In español, to take, consume (like medicine) is "tomar"
In 日本語, to stay (overnight) (i.e. in a hotel) is "tomaru"

It makes memorizing 泊まる (tomaru) a pain.

Mental Language Barriers

Today was nuts when it came to language.

I was studying my Japanese.
I got into that mindset and I noticed I'd come a long way when it came to vocabulary.
My grammar has improved a bit, also.

This was at church... not long after, I somehow ended up speaking with someone from the Spanish branch that shared the building... oh, and she spoke no English.

That's right - I had an entire conversation in Spanish! It was weird. I've never done it before - it was far easier than I expected. MY comprehension is very high, even though I have so little vocabulary. She noticed some of my Japanese stuff , and we briefly spoke about Japanese in Spanish.

Afterward I thought my head was going to explode... I had so many layers of language and grammar in my head I was losing it.

That's all I dealt with today reaffirming and recognizing things I already knew...
I haven't used much Spanish in years - for some reason thinking in three languages gives me a headache. Just writing this is causing it again.

The important thing is that I have never spoke in Spanish to someone to doesn't speak English. I was kinda scared. It took getting used to. I learned a lot from it, though.
Behind the language barriers, we're all the same people.
