Un Burro Cantando - Lesson 1

"Hey, a singing jack ass asked me if this bus was going to Lyberia."

As per my dream described in my previous blog, I am learning Spanish with the help of song. I can't believe this method, it is incredibly helpful. I write a few phrases and sing them to help me remember them. This is a great way for my mind to pick it up, with song and verse. Thanks subconscious for helping me figure out a way to learn Spanish. What a revelation!

The only problem I see with this is: as I try to remember the phrase, it first comes to my head in a song verse. I am sure that I will be singing this song to try and communicate and look like a jackass, but I got to learn.

Here is my first song.

"Hola, mi nombre es Kyle
Puede usted me entiende?
por favor, asiente con la cabeza
porque no puedo entender lo que dices


Tengo una pregunta para usted
Por favor, perdona mi acento
sabes es este autobús que va a Lyberia?
puede que me responda muy lentamente

Hola, cómo estás esta noche?
Sabe usted, un lugar para que pueda dormir?
Tiene una habitación que es barato?
Sabes dónde puedo encontrar la cerveza?

Soy del gran estado de Wisconsin
Yo soy de una pueblo de Milwaukee
en mi pueblo, es muy frío
Sabes usted, en nombre del caballo?"


I just realized that this is "Grandma got run over by a reindeer." Whatever.
