I'm developing this thing where I have a somewhat hard time transitioning into English after extended periods of hearing/speaking Spanish. On Tuesday/Thursdays, I have 2 classes in Spanish about history and politics followed by one class in English about research. By the time I get to the research class, I am still wrapped up in a Spanish-language-world and it takes me a minute to get used to English again.
Also, I find that when I'm having a casual conversation with someone in English, I often use Spanish words/phrases, like "vale" or "si" or "por eso . . ." And now that I'm learning Catalan and trying to retain all the stuff we're learning, I have a tendency to walk around, muttering street/Metro stop names to myself to try and get the pronunciation right.
Hurrah for languages?!
Edit: I uploaded my pictures from last weekend, when I went to Girona and then the Picasso Museum in Barcelona. They're even captioned! Excitement!
