Hablas espanol?


When you live in between two places and work from home, you clearly fall out of the norm. I took an online Spanish placement test and, in addition to struggling with the words I had to fill in, I struggled with the meaning of the sentences.

“I have to go to the office tomorrow.” said one sentence.
“No I don’t,” I thought. “How do you say ‘basement?’ in Spanish?” I asked my sister.

“How much does a cab cost from your house to the airport?” another question.
“How would I know, I couldn’t afford one,” I thought. “How do you say 'I just walk, take a subway, a shuttle bus and an AirTrain?'"

“Do you have a car or a bike?” This one really pissed me off.
“How do you say ‘neither?'"
