Of course, traveling abroad is associated with language learning.
Spanish is not so difficult language to learn.
It is very positive, especially as we learn in a positive way.
How?
If we talk about food we also had to prepare a little bit :). South America is the birthplace of chili. Probably is very easy to recognize foreigner "gringo" when he has to eat a spicy dish. I probably will cope with this poorly and quickly will ask for water, but Jarek is more ambitious. Now he eats nothing without chili and to each dish prepared by me he needs to add more chili :) Well, what can we expect from the person who broked the record in drinking Tabasco on time ...
