Hablo espanol?

A long lost dream of mine is to some day learn spanish (for some reason, I dont think that Donde esta Jose and Jose esta aqui will be enough when I move to latin america). So every now and then I decide that Im going to take an online course or buy a spanish learning book or whatever. My latest thing has been to listen to a spanish teacher recordings on my phone. Ever since I came to Malta, I been listening to this on the way to work, learning to say tengo hambre (and not tengo hombre).

The other day on the way from work, a car with an elderly couple stopped.

Man: Hola. Hablas espanol?
Gabbis: Ehm... solo un poco.
Man: Donde esta San Julian?
Gabbis: Ehm... ehm "ponting to him to go back on an other road".. calle alli, ala derecha... roundabout... circulo... el coche... grande autostrada...thinking of when the hell am I supposed to use tengo hambre
Man: Si?
Gabbis: Y autostrada... WROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM! *making airplane movements with hands to describe that you would go really fast on the high way*
So yes, maybe I should change that learning tape because I dont think that that description brought them to the right place. I have just simply spread the curse of being Lost in Malta.

Me, 4 years ago, lost in Barcelona.
