i've begun to refresh some of my foreign language skills now that i'm living in el barrio.

the majority of the restaurants up here are mexican, which suits me to a capital T. it's my favorite food EVER. out of respect for where i live and the people i'll be encountering, i've decided to refresh my spanish language skills....it's been 16 years since i've used a word of it though, so you'll be able to suffer along with me as i reacquaint myself with some useful if not off the beaten path phrases that may be useful in the city....
