Amar a Muerte, 12/18/2018, Episode 32: Something's Burning
For those who may not have visited a patio for Monday’s
episode, Anita posted this comment:
OPEN LETTER TO CARAYCARAY DEVOTEESA new CarayCaray team is now in place of our departing guru, Jane, aka Melinama. We appreciate from the bottom of our hearts the tireless stewardship of her blog since she started it with Alborada, all those years ago. We want to thank her for letting us take on the job of continuing with and nurturing this blog. We hope we can do it justice.
To note, the storylines, dialog and content of telenovelas have evolved, many in ways which we don't like or approve. The English language has also evolved and what used to be offensive is now part of social content nation-wide. That goes for standard English broadcasts that are populating the cable and the airwaves as well. We who want to, change with the times, or filter out what is objectionable.
We recap and follow telenovelas for the pleasure of being in a community interested in telenovelas, Spanish language and Central and Latin American culture. The Univision and Telemundo products offered, drive the conversations.
If you have noticed that the number of telenovelas recapped, comments and "hits" on each recap is way down from days of yore, it can be assumed it may stem from the availability of closed captions getting better. Plenty of non-Spanish speakers have drifted off. What is left is a community of like-minded spirits who enjoy the conversations after the recap is posted. We hope each one of you are and continue to be one of them.
And
now for the TN--
JohnyBStalled
is at the gate with Fabricio who wants to talk to him. Fabricio convinces him
to wait by telling him that when he had a problem, he would talk it over with
Don León, but now that he isn’t here…
Johny lifts his collar and agrees to hear out Fabricio. Meanwhile, in the
study, Leon/Chino/Jacobo (LCJ) and Lucía are engrossed in studying their mouths
and necks. (‘Oh Joco, how did you know about that little place on my neck that sends me into OR-BIT?” “Um..duh..er lucky guess sweets.”) Fabricio tells Johny about his father is very ill (Johny is probably
thinking, “And? Do you think I care?); and he isn’t making enough money and he
doesn’t want his father to die. Johny had no idea and gladly agrees to help
Fab…and Johny would be ever so grateful if Fab would keep him up-to-date about
all the goings-on at the Carvajal house, especially anything having to do with
LCJ—what time he leaves, arrives, what he eats (uhmm, Lucía’s tongue right
now!), etc… Fabricio agrees.
Johny
enters the house and Silvina tells him Lucía is in the study. She offers to go
tell Lucía, but Johny insists on going himself. Meanwhile, as LCJ has Lucía
heatedly pinned to the desk, he watches as Johny approaches. Lucía notices LCJ
is distracted and sees Johny too; she starts to push LCJ away, but he wants to
continue (see me, Johny, I got her!!). Lucía manages to push LCJ away and tells
him to compose himself. A few seconds pass, and Johny enters as Lucía is
powdering her nose. Johny notices that she is acting strange and seems upset
(Yeah! You interrupted her dessert!). He goes after her and grabs her wanting
to kiss her, but she pushes him away and tells him she is not at all happy with
him. As she tells him that she needs to talk to him outside, LCJ crouches
behind a piece of furniture. As they walk outside, Lucía tells Johny that
Montilla didn’t really tell her anything. She thinks he just wanted to shake
her up…Monty told her he has nothing concrete against anyone. Johny stops her
and reminds her that he knows her better than anyone and he knows when she lies
to him. Lucía replies that he is being paranoid.
Armenta
is at his home watching his interview again. He comments about Lucía’s eyes and
suggests that she is very much in love…with him! When his assistant remarks
that Lucía is somewhat young for him, Armenta snaps back that if Lucía married
someone like León, then she is prepared to have a man like him. Armenta can’t
stop thinking about her; he likes her spunk and that she is refined. He adds
that Lucía just
won the lottery…Well, not quite Gramps, suitor #…..?, dang I lost count, interrupted them.
At
the company, Guille watches Mayela’s, aka Patito’s, show on the TV from his
office; and Renata and Kayla watch at the cafeteria. Renata thinks Mayela is
anorexic, but Kayla insists that she should stop obsessing over Mayela, and set
her sights on getting Guille. Just then, Mayela walks up to Renata and Kayla
and tells Renata that she wants to talk to her in her dressing room. When
Renata tells her she has too much work, Mayela insists it will only take a few
minutes…she will talk to Guille for Renata. After she leaves, Renata gobbles
her sandwich saying, “I hate her!”…then wonders if Mayela knows that she likes
Guille. Kayla wonders if Mayela has some plan to get rid of Renata and suggests
that Renata not eat anything Mayela will offer her. Yeah, like “Oh Patito, let’s be sandwich
Sisters, you eat mine and I’ll eat yours.?”
Kayla, you have been watching Tns haven’t you?
Octavio
talks to Alicia in her kitchen and tells her about his conversation with
Beltino. Beltino didn’t seem to remember anything about their trip to Puerto
Vallarta. Just then Alicia receives an invitation for Beltino to an
anthropology conference. After Octavio comments that Beltino will be happy,
Alicia responds that he would have been happy before…she recalls how excited
Beltran was a year ago when he received the same invitation…and how interested
he was in promoting anthropology. She
misses that Beltan; she would be mesmerized by his passion for anthropology.
When Octavio comments that after the accident Beltino’s personality did change, Alicia shares that Beltino is very
different; it seems that a dark side of him has emerged…it scares her. Octavio
has already mentioned that to his wife, Cristina. When Beltino beat him up, he
grabbed him and looked at him as if he was crazy…like a murderer. Alicia
wonders if Beltino had mentioned anything about the trip to Octavio, but
Octavio knew nothing about it…Beltino was just somewhat nervous on his way to
the airport and kept his eye on his phone.
In
Mayela’s dressing room, Mayela notes what a good relationship Renata has with
Guille. Renata agrees that she and Guille have a good “working” relationship.
Since Renata is Guille’s right-hand person, Mayela wants Renata to help her
organize a birthday party for Guille at his house (birthday is the next day)
since Renata has all his contacts. Renata tries to get out of it, but Mayela
won’t take no for an answer since all of Guille’s friends have told her that Guille
has had it rough lately and he doesn’t even want to go out to the park. Renata
considers the proposal.
In
San Antonio, Beltino and Barb have arrived—Beltino with a bad headache and
nauseated. After Barb tells him to take it like “a man,” Beltino breathes
deeply…there’s nothing like the clean air in his land!
Vale
and her old bestie are in her room changing and dancing when Lucho comes in.
Vale tries to push him out, but he pushes her onto the bed and they go at it
while the friend leaves the room. (Amateurs
compared to Lucia and LCJ!)
At
the airport, Beltino and Barb are munching when Fabian passes by. Beltino stops
him and wishes him luck with the criminal he is after. After Fabian walks away,
Beltino laughs and tells Barb that the slime will never find him. Yeppers you have a very…...elaborate,
disguise, should we say?
Outside
the Carvajal home, Tiberio watches as Guille plays with Max, the dog. After
Tiberio points out that Max allows LCJ to play with him, Guille is surprised
since Max only played with him and his father. He asks for LCJ, so Tiberio
tells him LCJ is probably in the house.
But we heard he was busy.
LCJ is in the kitchen when Guille comes in to ask if
he knows about cars; his car is making a noise. He is embarrassed to ask, but
needs help. LCJ tells Guille never to feel embarrassed to ask for help,
especially when it comes to women and cars.
Karla
is at a restaurant when Ernesto walks in with Monica. Ernesto apologizes for
being late, but the lady who was to take care of Monica was running late. Kayla
doesn’t seem to be listening since she is so focused on Monica and caressing
her face. Monica thanks Karla for the lollipops that were like those that her
mother would buy her for behaving well…but her mother died; though she always
dreams of her. They all agree to start their lunch with dessert.
Montilla
is home in his kitchen and goes to hug his wife who has a weak heart. When she
asks how things are going, he tells her about how his morning was wasted with
the fire alarm. He then shares how he set a trap for Lucía just to see how she
would react. He thinks Lucía is quite strange…and that she may be having a
romantic relationship…with her chauffeur!! Cristina wonders what everyone would
say about the grand widow of Mexico. When Montilla adds that Lucia is ”the main
suspect of her husband’s murder,” Cristina remarks that Lucía is much more
ambitious and intelligent than anyone knows. As Montilla gets something to
munch on, he tells Cristina that the one who is most dangerous is Eva…she seems
to be involved in something tumultuous. Yeah.
A henpecked husband and a boyfriend who kills TVs.
Alacrán
is in his shower with Eva-so-tumultuous. He tells her about his idea to be
shown on TV as he is right now (eeewww!); he will surely upstage her
stepmother. When he adds that he can help be rid of Lucía, Eva tells him she
will get rid of her in her own way; she already has a plan. So Lucia, don’t eat anything she gives you ,
right Kayla?
At
the company, Mateo asks Palomarez about his article, but Palomarez hasn’t had a
chance to talk to Eva. Mateo chides him for needing to ask for permission since
he is the chief editor, but Palomarez thinks it’s a very sensitive topic.
Palomarez truly wants to publish Mateo's article, but Eva keeps avoiding him.
It irks Palomarez that Mateo is right; he is going to publish the article…and
warns Mateo to prepare for what’s coming. Yes, some sandbags and plywood,
because you will have a Cat 5 Eva on your ass when that hits the airwaves.
At
the restaurant, Karla sees her former self in a mirror while away from Ernesto
and Monica. She feels herself in her Jeraldi body and fears that Ernesto and
Monica will see her too. As she starts to leave, Ernesto calls out to her so
she slowly turns around as Karla.
Outside
the Carvajal house, LCJ is taking a look at Guille’s car motor since Guille
knows nothing about cars. Guille starts talking about his father’s love for
cars; his father even had an antique car collection that he would work on every
Sunday as Guille watched; though Guille doubts that his father even noticed
him. Guille misses his father more than he realized, especially during these
days. After LCJ questions why these days, Guille replies that tomorrow is his
birthday—it was the only day that his father made him feel as if he were the
most important person in his life.
At
the restaurant, Karla is enjoying her time with Monica and Ernesto. Monica
invites her to a dance recital at her school the following week; so Karla
gladly accepts.
In
San Antonio, Beltino arrives at his old trailer. Barb comments that for someone
who claims he has as much money as he says, he sure didn’t live well. (Slap her
Beltino or stick a crystal ball in her big mouth) Beltino enters the trailer
and sees how it has been ransacked. Barb refuses to sleep in that atrocity…while
Beltino seethes.
Vale
wakes up in her bed with Lucho beside her. She notices Juls’s missed call and
calls her back to apologize for offending her. After she tells Juls that she
really likes her and doesn’t want to lose her, Lucho asks who Vale is talking
to. Your competition dude, deal with
it.
Renata
is in her apartment complaining to Kayla that it irks her that Mayela will win
over Guille with the party Renata will plan for Guille. Kayla wants Renata to
take her to the party, but Renata realizes that she has no money to buy Guille
a present.
Johny
is at his home when Fabricio calls him with a report that we are not made privy
to.
Karla
calls Cami to tell him that she is on her way up to see El Ruso; she is not
scared of what they might do to her. She agrees to send Cami her location. If
he doesn’t hear from her after two hours, he should go for her.
El
Ruso is surprised to see Karla. He tells his men to warm her up before they get
rid of her. When Karla tells him that she came to play, El Ruso allows her to
come in, but they will not play for money. She will play for her life.
LCJ
arrives at Cami’s out and calls out for him. Just then the doorbell rings and...heeeere’s Johny!
Lucía
is on her couch thinking of her tryst with LCJ on her desk. As she smiles,
Armenta calls her and asks if she has missed him…because he has missed
her…MUCHO! After Lucía tells him that she is surprised by his call, Armenta
comments about how the media is saying that they are quite close. Lucía doesn’t
think he shouldn’t believe everything the media says…it’s often times
exaggerated. After they chat about how both of them benefited from the
interview, Armenta invites her to dinner to celebrate their success…alone and
without such a ruckus. Lucía wants to check her schedule, but Armenta insists
that he will call her in a couple of days to set the time and place. Aw shoot, line up boys. Everybody luuuurves
Lucy!
At
Cami’s house, Johny wonders if LCJ works there too because it would be odd that
he would be living there. Maybe none of yore Bidness boo boo. When LCJ tells him that he is waiting for
Cami, Johny invites himself to sit down and wait also. They can talk while they
wait together. IE: Interrogation
Cami
is out driving around looking frantically for the address Karla sent him.
Meanwhile, Karla is with El Ruso and his gang at the private game table. Karla
hesitates in playing her game since she is playing for her life. Karla wants
assurance that if she wins, they will not go looking for her or bother her
anymore. El Ruso points out that she is in no position to be setting
conditions. He then tells her “sure”, but adds “that will not happen.”
Lupita
enters Juls’s bedroom as Juls sits on the bed brooding. She is wondering who
decides how and where they are born. Why did they have to be born in the
miserable corner in San Antonio? Why did she have to have the father she had?
Why is God so generous with some and he gives them nothing? After Lupita
responds that some say God has the perfect plan for everyone, she suggest that
Juls go to bed…maybe she can think about things.
In
Vale’s bedroom, Lucho rags on Vale for the way she has been treating him and
wonders what her phone call to Juls was all about; it sounded as if she were
talking to him. After he imitates her and tells her she spends all her time
with Juls, Vale tells him he can’t understand because he doesn’t have anyone
whom he could call a true friend. (Tell him Val) Lucho shouts that they just slept together and wonders if he isn’t
enough for her. (Tell him Val, he asked first) Vale laughs that he is jealous.
When Lucho continues his rant, Vale throws him out and Lucia hears all the
commotion. (Tell him Val, it will shut him up faster than duct tape) Lucia goes
out, but then when she sees that Lucho is gone, she goes back into her bedroom
and gets her phone…thinking about calling LCJ.
At
the card game, Karla plays her last game. As she hesitates to show her cards,
one of the goons asks the other if they were sure to check for a weapon; they
did. Karla has three 8s and El Ruso shows his full house. Karla is reeeally
skeered.
At
Cami’s house, LCJ and Johny are engaged in their little chat when LCJ’s phone
rings (Lucia calling), but doesn’t answer.
When Johny asks why all the mystery,
LCJ replies that they all have something they hide. Johny then suggests that
LCJ tell him about himself…does he have family. LCJ counters that maybe Johny
should tell LCJ about himself…since LCJ is not very interesting; he is but a
simple chauffeur as Johny has indicated previously. After Johny avoids talking
about himself and points out that neither of them know much about each other,
LCJ assures Johny that he (LCJ) knows quite a bit about him. Johny would like
LCJ to tell him what he knows; so LCJ stands and tells Johny that he knows that
Johny has dedicated most of his life to getting all of León’s fortune. This
gets LCJ a quick jab to his face…
But
if you look at it closely…Johny doesn’t really strike him LOL

RGV Chick: Loved the recap. I went ROFLOL when you mentioned Lucia being pimped out by Gramps..... YIKES!
Let's hope she doesn't get PREGGERS.
Looked like Psychopath Erick Montenegro didn't even punch LCJ from what I can tell.

Well, well, well, Ms. Snappy that was quick. Thank You for an entertaining recap.
Ole Johny on the spot is everywhere! Does he ever sleep or buy groceries or wash his car? He seems to spend about 23 hours a day bird dogging Lucia and LCJ. Hee Hee with good reason it appears. It was funny seeing Lucia frantically trying to get her face put back on when Johny came in, as the majority of it was hiding behind the credenza on Joco's smoochers.
Val just needs to take Lugo off the access list, but, well, he seems to be briefly welcome when she is drinking and if he does not speak. Surprised her little friend skedaddled out of there like she did, knowing Val and her friends.
Oh Please, now Armenta is chasing Lucia too? What is this, I Love Lucy? I'm waiting for Ricky Ricardo to show up. I wonder how our clever little gal will wriggle out of this one. The looks on her face were a riot when he was talking to her on the phone.
And snotty old broad Barb turning up her nose at Beltran's palacial camper. Ha ! What was she expecting? Actually what was he expecting, the fellows who want to kill him because he stole their money are not going to be all that respectful of his things as they search for him. But it is a camping trailer, maybe it was just racoons.
Johny annoys me in a homicidal way, but Barb annoys me in a Hee Haw funny kind of way.
I have no idea where Karla thought this last card game was going. It looks like, you win you are dead, you lose you are dead. Wait, that was her grand ambition to begin with, to kill herself, take a Mother away from a darling little girl and a wife from a man, and burn down all the worldly possessions of the those two. Hmmm doesn't sound too glamorous when you put it that way.
You know, if Alacran were not a Narco murderer covered in tattoos, and if Eva were not setting the bar higher every day for bitchiness and connivery, they almost look like a happy (Hoppy) couple. I wonder...NAH, fagettaboutit.
And Thanks again Ms Chik for all the work you do.

Thanks, Anon4:58, Steve and Kirby!
Anon 4:48, LCJ should=a locked the door, but from what I saw, he WANTED to get caught!
Steve, that screenshot of the (non)punch was a fluke, by when I saw it, I just had to share.
Kirby, “I Love Lucy” Love it!
More laters...much to do!

RgvChick, I'm surprised your screen shot didn't melt my computer!!! Wow. Hawt, hawt, hawt.
Perfect title. Your and Kirby's sweet avatars are delightful.
Wonderful news about Caray continuing. Anita and her incredible team have my sincere thanks and gratitude.

Good morning Patio. Yes, Rgv Chick put in some hot screenshots and followed it up with a lot of snappy, hot prose. Very enjoyable read. My favorite:
"Johny notices that she is acting strange and seems upset (Yeah! You interrupted her dessert!)"
And I loved that Karla and her family have a tradition of ordering dessert first. Gals, how many of you, when looking at a new cookbook, turn to the dessert section first? (Mea culpa, mea maxima culpa)
Given Lemon Studio's penchant for eliminating beloved characters (Yago, I'm looking at you) I was in agony watching the tender scene with Karla's family, and the equally tender scene with Montilla and his beloved wife. Just getting a bad feeling already.
Still get a kick out of Beltrám and Barbara. So typical of his macho persona that he expected Barbara to carry all the suitcases into the trailer. And of course his continued teasing of the judge's son. Such a scoundrel but I'm getting so fond of him I forget that he is also an assassin.
I do like it that this story poses the questions that bedevil all of us.
Why was I born?
Why was I born into this circumstance?
Why do some people have it so easy and others are trapped into lives of unrelenting misery and abuse?
If God's way is perfect, why is there so much suffering in the world?
And especially why do seemingly innocent people suffer such cruelty?
For that reason, I thought Juliana's scene was the most important of the episode, even though there was a lot more excitement with our primo couple, and a lot more tension in Karla's card game.
And Lord! Johny is so unctuous he makes me gag anytime he's on screen. This "mi niña, mi niño stuff just makes me want to hurl.
Thanks Rgv Chick and thanks Anita and Team for continuing the great CarayCaray tradition. We are all so grateful to you, commenters and lurkers alike, I'm sure.

Chickie, thanks so much for reporting all the happenings .
Judyb, I read your questions shaking my head in agreement. My head is more filled with unanswerable questions now than when I was young.
Thanks again to all those who saved caray. I like to drop by every day to "see" all of you and feel you near.
Food but sunny here. Now I am off to grocery shop and then chores.

Kirby: I went LOL at your "I Love Lucy" reference. It seems everybody wants to get freaky with Lucia.
Yet she cannot control herself.
Yet she cannot control herself.
Yes Steve, it looks like almost a rerun of Bela (Esmeralda) in Beauty and the Beasts, when she was in disguise as the hot blonde and courting the old beast who (thought he) could not wait to get her clothes off. Oops, didn't live long enough.
She came up with more excuses than a high school virgin to put him off. It will be a circus if we get to see Lucia and another frisky bad guy doing the same dance.
PS I know a HS virgin was last seen in 1986. It is a figure of speech. :-)

RGV Chick, I don't often comment, but I wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed your recap. I chuckled all the way through it. I love the references to "I Love Lucy."
I thought Alejandro Nones was obnoxious in "Teresa" as Teresa's first love, but he excels in his disgustingness (is that a word?) in this telenovela. During interviews he seems like such a nice guy, so he must be doing a great job of acting. Wonder if he might be nominated for villain in the telenovela awards coming in March.
Thanks to all of you who recap each episode. You do a wonderful job and it is greatly appreciated since I don't know Spanish. I'm one of those who slipped through the cracks before Spanish was offered as a second language in small-town Ohio 1960's-USA. I may have said this before, but I opted for French over Latin. Can you guess how many times I have used French since then? 0 times...not even in college.

Thanks, Diana, JudyB, Susanlynn and Ginger. Great comments and insight from everyone! This was a good episode! but then, if you ask me, tha ay are; and they just get better n better.
Diana, always glad when you drop in. Those two protags really do sizzle; I'm surprised I didn't see any smoke coming out of my TV.
JudyB, Barb and Bel do bring some lighter shades into this dark story as do Renata and Kayla. Oh yeah, Bel is an assassin...ugh! And ah, yes, those questions tha we all tend to ask at some point in time. As Susanlynn stated; there are more questions now than in the good ol' days.
Ginger, it's always nice to know that we make some one laugh; that is, after all, what we are here for..to entertain and share with the good company we keep. I had never seen Nones before, but he must be good since he is portraying a character that has come to be so hated...a job that he is doing really well.

I had never seen Nones before, but he must be good since he is portraying a character that has come to be so hated...a job that he is doing really well.
RE- Episodes--Meant to say "they are all good" 'spose I should proofread before clicking on publish, huh?
BTW, did I see right, that Patio or whatever, oh Mayela is hosting a cooking show? I didn't really pay attention, with the Renata and Kayla show on at the same time. Woof. Wag....
So little Renata has to compete, at least she thinks, with an on the air personality who seems to have a history with Mr. Gully Golden. And for the ultimate insult she is asked to organize a birthday party on behalf of her nemesis which will by all standards almost surely drive her man into the other woman's arms. Those two are not hard to look at, and they are hilarious on top of it.
She is too young and nice to really fight dirty, so she is in romance purgatory.

Ginger, I agree. Nones was obnoxious in Teresa from the get-go. And I also studied French in high school, although Spanish was offered. But I've been trying to learn español for the past 14 years on my own, precisely because it is the one foreign language (other than Somali) that is useful in the US.
Buy yourself some Teach Yourself Spanish books and put on the closed captions in Spanish, you'll be surprised how quickly you can learn.

12:56 Yep I was thinking the same thing. If she got him in her normal bed he might have problems. While Eva and Alac seem to be into Ninja encounters, Joco and Luci seem to be more into 'Sorpresa ! hookups.
I too, am shocked the Limo with the blacked out windows has not been utilized. If the Caddy's a rockin, don't come a knockin, ....John....

If we had not gotten the clue that Leon was not much of a Father, it was crystal clear last night when LCJ had the little chat with Guille. That is not necessarily an indictment of Leon, though, as compared to some really bad Fathers. He loved his children and more than amply provided for them, but in so doing, was sort of disconnected and too busy.
But there are a lot of kids who would gladly accept that in lieu of having the holy bejesus beat out of them by a parent or parents who ARE around all the time. Or a couple of druggie or drunk parents who they can not wait to escape from.
So don't cry too many big crocodile tears for spoiled worthless Guille. He has had life handed to him on a silver platter and he does not even know which end of his car contains the engine.
there :-)

RGV--what a hilarious romp through the Gardens of Iniquity last night with such brilliance. Thank you. Please do it again, soon.
We all love to hate Johny. Here's what I picked up just in today's comments. I'm sure there have already been plenty. Unctuous is my new favorite. I like dufus, too. Don't know if any of you recall that I drew up a list of all the names and character descriptions the Patio gave Alonso in Amor Bravio.
Johny on the spot is everywhere
Johny annoys me in a homicidal way
Johny is so unctuous he makes me gag anytime he's on screen
[Johny] excels in his disgustingness (is that a word?) in this telenovela

Ginger and judyb, my small, rural high school offered three languages German (because most of population was of German descent), Latin, and French. I studied two years of Latin and two years of French ( my French name was Suzette). Both were taught by my tiny, proper, elderly English teacher Miss Moore. We mostly learned songs which I still remember. Adesta Fidelis (oh Come All He Faithful) , Frere jacques, Alouette, Sur La Ponte. Then I struggled with two semesters of French in college. I can still remember some vocabulary but cannot understand or speak French.
After watching telenovelas for 11years and teaching many Spanish speaking students I still cannot understand or speak much Spanish. Having taught ESLfor many years, I have found that some people pick up languages easily and quickly and others struggle.

Susanlynn--glad you checked in with us. I just met a young man who works for a window installing company. I said something inadvertently in Spanish and he caught it and asked if I spoke Spanish. We had quite a conversation in Spanish. I was especially impressed when he told me he was (African)American, but took Spanish in ELEMENTARY school and hadn't really used it much since--he looked as if he could be in his late 20s early 30s. We finally reverted to English, a relief for both of us. You never know. Now he's glad he did as he works with a lot of employees whose 1st language is Spanish and are struggling with their English.
I took French in high school, thinking, as it was a Romance language and I already knew Spanish it ought to have been a snap. WRONG. It took going to a French immersion summer school for me to start thinking in French rather than translating in my head from English to French before saying anything, so I never participated and froze when called on.
Kudos to you for taking French in college. I chose German and had a worse time than with French, until I moved into the German House on campus--a substitute for an immersion summer.

Oh (she admits, red faced), I got the the guy's name wrong AND the telenovela I created the list of appellations. I guess I'm working with fewer brain cells these days.
It was Dr. Alvaro Nesme in Cuando me Enamoro.

Anita, I once read that dreaming in a new language that you are learning indicates that you are actually starting to think in that language. I share this with my students at the beginning of a semester and ask if anyone has dreamed in English. Then, throughout the semester I have excited students telling me , "I dreamed in English last night!!" I also have had students who told me that they are better in English if they have a drink!
I know quite a lot of Arabic after having many Arabicspeaking students throughout the years and a bit OF Chinese.

Thank you so much for taking over for Jane.
I'm not sure I could be happy without my daily fix of Caray.
I re-watch a good deal of older telenovelas and love it when there is a recap here, especially reading the comments
