what sound does a dog make?

What sound does a dog make?  Woof, woof.  Seems obvious, right?  NO.

For my first five weeks here, I’ll be in Spanish class for four hours a day.  Today we played a review game that had all sorts of questions...what’s the weather like, what did you do last night, what are you doing in CR, what do you like to do, describe your daily routine, describe this picture...and I was asked WHAT SOUND DOES A DOG, CAT, AND ROOTSER MAKE IN SPANISH?  I thought it was a trick question.  I was wrong. Who knew dogs (and most animals for that matter) spoke other languages?!!  Mind.  Blown.

So...what sound does a dog make?  In Spanish -- guau, guau.

How ‘bout a rooster?  Cockadoodledoo.  WRONG.  In Spanish -- quiquiriquí.

Be enlightened...

Also managed to master the public bus today!!  Rachel, another intern, and I successfully got ourselves to school in San Pedro and back -- about an hour commute each way because of traffic.  Success!
