Poco a Poco

I played Mafia in Spanish last night!




Lindsay and I are making friends with a fairly large group from the local church.  The're all professionals or students in town, and we like them a lot.  The church is very similar to the one we attend in the US.  We both talked in Spanish for almost the entire night.  My Spanish was limited, but I could understand most things, ask questions, and answer simple questions.  Telling stories is still beyond me at the moment, I found.  At about 11:30, we started up a game of Mafia, and played for a couple hours.  If you haven't played it before, it's a simple game that requires a great deal of talking.  I accused people, defended myself, and almost won once. 

I keep telling the family we're staying with that I'm understanding, poco a poco.  Last night was a good one for practice!
