I speak English

People are so funny!

I would guess at least every 3 days I get asked if I speak English. HAHA
I think this is so funny! It is probably because of my PERFECT Spanish accent, and the way I can´t role my r´s, or maybe it is because I only use the 17 verbs I know. So when I can´t think of the correct verb I either A) make it up - which sometimes works or B) act it out- this is always interesting... yea, right - that´s it!

But it is true, I get asked all of the time if I am Dutch or Swedish...both of which are compliments - Thank You! I guess it is my hair and blue eyes...

But seriously, the moment my mouth opens and I speak English, some people look at me with their eyes wide open, mouth dropped and they say, ¨Wow, you speak English?¨Like they are the most confused person at the time. haha I get a little kick out of it every time.

I have recently been getting asked if I am local -again, Thanks, but no. It becomes clear the moment I open my mouth. :)

Therefore, I have decided to make up a story about my life. I am sick of saying the same one over and over again, and people don´t really think I am from the states, so I have decided to tweak my story a little bit. All in good fun!
