Too Much Work
Ok, so last week we had a sale at work. I thought we took more than we can take. So many people I didn't recognize before showed up and the line went waaay over the entrance and people willing to wait even if it was raining outside! O_o
On the other hand, I had a conversation with a Spanish customer that went really well. (^-^)

Random pick:
1) cheap - barato (!) (Same as native language's)
2) expensive - caro, costoso (Costoso)
3) frugal - frugal (!) (cognate)
4) add - agregar (makes sense)
5) take away - llevar (!) (I've been using this all along as a translation for "to go"
6) replace - sustituir, reemplazar
(!) - means I'm surprised

Random Dictionary Words
Whenever I have a chance to speak with a Spanish speaker, I try my best to express what I mean. Somehow, I'm able to communicate, whether with difficulty or resorting to making body signals. But when I am completely stumped with certain words, what comes to mind is a dictionary, so I bought one. I keep records of the words I wished I have known and look it up later in the day. Of course, whether I am using it in correct grammar, I'm still not sure.
