Returning from Segovia, Spain
I flew back to the US last week, August 4. Before returning to California I stayed a week in New York City to visit my brother. Being able to speak the language made me feel more respected by the culture. I had never been to New York so I didn’t know what to expect in terms of customs. New York is immensely diverse and I was surprised by the amount of Dominicans there. I didn’t feel as motivated to use my Spanish in New York but when I did practice, I didn’t want to use my Spanish accent as much.
