Things about Mexico #10

(Body) Language Barriers.
It is one thing to memorize words.
It's another thing about knowing how to use them properly in a sentence.
But still another, much overlooked "language barrier" is that of body language.

For example:

This means "okay" or "very good". But only when talking about THINGS.

When talking about PEOPLE, it means "hot".

That is good to know. (After six months of using it incorrectly...) 
(Oops. I'm blushing.)

  2. Bugs,

    It was so great to have a laugh this evening. I'm glad you can find humor in what you learn.

    Love you,
    Mom
