What a lovely day in Seville. Or, as we would say in Spanish, que dia mas bonito. I've heard so much about the Place de España. It's Seville's top attraction. Apparently, you can hire a little boat and explore the area. And I even heard they filmed some scenes from Star Wars there. Today, I'm meeting a Spanish friend from Saviol's.

whom I met at the beginning of my Spanish speaking journey and who also inspired me to start learning the language in the first place. Let me give you some backstory about my Spanish journey. Back in 2015, I went to Switzerland for the weekend and attended a party with people from all over the world. Although none of them spoke English as their first language, They could all communicate with me in English at different levels of proficiency. They were all what I would call bilingual. From that moment on, I decided to learn Spanish and make it a part of my life. I wanted to feel what it was like to be bilingual,

and Spanish is a very significant language to know. Anyway, enough of that. To get to the Plaza de Espania, I think I'll take a taxi. I walked quite a lot already today. Ah, look, here's one. Taxi taxi. How much cost a voyage to the Plaza of Spain? Hello, you're going to the Plaza of Spain?
