Hola! ABDLionbaby! It is a fact you cannot do ANYTHING for the second time, until you have first done it for the first time.
I believe you are doing great, as others have indicated, and all of us, every one, did whatever for the first time, before we did
it the second.
I also welcome you to this fold, and sincerely hope you find ADISC as a place you are accepted, and you will, from my
experience.
Again, welcome to ADISC.
By the way, I am not the one from Mexico. I spent 4 years (1953-1957) in El Paso, Texas, and my spanish, much of it forgotten, was pure Castillian Spanish, from the High School texts of "El Camino Real". Nevertheless, I do occassionally try to incorprorate some Spanish into my conversation, hoping I will not embarrass myself, nor anger any Spanish speaking peoples around me. And that is not just Hispanic, but also anyone who speaks Spanish.
