Sign in to disble this ad
because two lovely spanish girls just rang at my door asking if I spoke Spanish.
My last name looks rather spanish (Morez), but in fact it's french and pronounced without the Z.
But I should really start playing the Spanish card  |

Honestly, you don't look like a typical "belgian" ( if there's such a thing )
you're rather a tall Spaniard...
btw were they simply tourists ? |

I could have said my ancestors were spanish, but the cute one spoke only spanish so a conversation wouldn't have brought us far

I would like to actually learn this stuff for real.
When Junior had to take a foreign language, he was thinking about French- but we convinced him to take Spanish. I took German in HS, and aside from 2 short trips to Germany, I've had no call to use that German (which I have pretty much completely forgotten). 'Round here, you can converse in Spanish with LOTS of people on a daily basis. I really wish I had taken Spanish instead of German- especially with me living in El Paso for a year and Panama for 2.

On my mother's side, my ancestors came to America from Spain. |

Why'd I have to take Latin in High School? I fouled up, big time. |

one of the reasons i want to go on a road trip with some buddies to somewhere where the spanish-speaking population is almost non-existent.
