The cleaning lady talks to me in spanish. She gestures around with her hands, points to things. I have no idea what she is saying. The only words I understand are 'suddy' (sorry) and 'bye'. Other then that, she could be telling me that she stole all the jewelry in the house, and I would just nod my head and say yes, yes.
She waved some money in my face. 3 hundred dollar bills, and some change. Then she motioned with her hand, and put it down in the dresser. Now, did she tell me that she found the money lying around, and she wanted me to know she wasn't taking it? Was she kindly giving me $300? Or was she asking me to keep it for her for later?
I really should learn Spanish.
Worst case scenario you can communicate using google translate. ...I used to do that with a Spanish cleaning lady! We totally understood each other!
