Found a pool. Guess who's going to regularly show up in the morning, every morning? I've been three times so far. And as far as I can tell the majority of the pool's patrons are several decades older than me. Now, I have no bone to pick with people older than me. But, in this case, by the mere fact that I am much younger than everyone else swimming, I am much faster than everyone else swimming. So, I feel distinctly mal educada when trying to navigate the pool.
My game plan for fixing this? Find the time when very few people swim, or find the time when all the young people swim--actually, do young people swim here? I guess I'll find out.
Now, some key words/phrases that I couldn't survive without
no pasa nada - it's okay/no worries/no problem
echar de menos - to miss someone, something
Vale - literally means EVERYTHING: okay, good, I get it, enough, sure, yeah. I probably say this 100 times a day
meter la pata - to put your foot in your mouth. Also a daily occurrence for me.
menos mal - sort of maybe means "good thing," still uncertain how to go about actually using it in a phrase
