![Cumpleaños Feliz](https://youcanlearnspanishtoo.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/happy-607282_640-630x315.jpg)
Whilst I think my heritage bestowed me with a relatively good level of intelligence, I can be a bit dim witted and slow at times. Take yesterday for example. I had Radio Nacional on in the background as usual. There were two presenters, a man and a woman. As I went about my morning routine…

I needed to go into town for an Optician’s appointment and get my haircut. So I thought I would stroll down, drop my shoes off for repair on the way and go sit in a coffee shop and do some learning. I ordered my hot chocolate (made with soya milk of course) and found a…
