I didn't have much time to study or be online today, so I was wondering what you all did and learnt in your respective languages.

We had friends over who speak very little English and refuse to speak it with us! So it was nice to be pushed into having to speak Spanish all afternoon. No new words but I was amused when my dad kept saying lunes lunes at Raul instead of luces ( Monday in place of lights)

Today I learned that you say "susIna" and not "sUsina" in Italian, which means "a plum" :D 

I've probably learned more but it's hard to remember all the new words that I'm picking up.

Michelle is a given name, originally the French feminine form of Michel, from the Hebrew name Michael meaning "Who is like God?". :joy:
