Eh la, EddieB, go’ed, lad! Ha ha, I can mock as I’m not ACTUALLY Scouse (so you can say what you want :-P) Woo, more Brits! I like your motivation for learning; pre-emptive attack before you go. I lived in Costa Rica for a year and there was a whole community of expats that had lived there ages and spoke either little or NO Spanish. Their attitude was like “why bother, everyone speaks English”… it used to really get my goat. My Spanish sucked but at least I was trying… hhrumph!
Ahh… winter… didn’t know you felt that way… you now have some fellow country men and women to keep you company ;-)
