Whenever away in a Spanish-speaking country, I take advantage of the opportunity to get chatting as much as I possibly can, even if it's with strangers. Yes, I know, that may seem outrageous.

Where I'm from in London, that's not particularly normal, but rest assured that here. Here in Spain, if you're respectful and polite and show an interest in their language, you'll be wrapped up in interactions with strangers like it's nothing. And don't even get me started on other Hispanic countries, Colombia or Mexico, for example. I'm going to call it. These places are home to some of the friendliest people on the planet. I'm currently in a lovely public garden in the center of Seville. This garden is called

Hardines de Real Al-Qasar which in English means the gardens of royal Al-Qasar Apparently they filmed certain scenes from the Game of Thrones television series right here in this park there's a lady sitting on the bench she doesn't look too busy

I'm going to see if she fancies a quick chat Hello, Disculpa It would Becerable Conversate Could be Can't be

I just think of the more fancy way of saying that word in English. Principal. So say it after me. My main motive is to learn Spanish. My motto principal is to say what is your opinion of the weather today, you would say, What Opinas del climate of today? What? Opinas
