Hola, como estas?

So the language challenge.... turns out that I am not a natural! And in fact it has been noticed by others that the whole pronounciation thing is not quite there! Two months in and I can say ' hello, what is your name? my name is Gemma. How are you? I am very well. Let me introduce you to my secretary!' Yeah the last bit sentence is an interesting one! All the credit for learning that phrase needs to go to google and you tube... (although learning the correct phrase came later after a quick conversation with my friend and spanish teacher, Nuria, who informed me that I had actually been introducing my secretary [well Admin Assistant]as if she were a boy!) However I am pushing ahead and I might even get onto my age or the weather soon....
