    Ha. My Spanish is the opposite, I can name everything around me but can’t talk. Was in a sub shop in Miami once and the sandwich maker didn’t speak English, I didn’t even KNOW I knew the words for all those foods but quickly rattled off Mayonesa, Queso, Lechuga, Cebolla, Acetunas, Pimientos - everything I looked at I thought the Spanish word not the English word, it was all there in my head, what the fuck? But try to say I did something, instead of im doing something or going to do something? Total blank, I have to really think on it like it’s a puzzle.
