It is really exciting to realize that after taking Spanish lessons this year, I was able to communicate with a passenger at work. All of the studying and courses are working.
Ann is a Flight Attendant with a major airline and has been learning Spanish with Speak Español for over a year.
This is her story.
This is her story.
I was working a flight to Austin and had to help an elderly woman to her seat. It was obvious she did not speak English.
During the flight, it was my responsibility to sell our on board snacks through the aisle of the plane. When I reached the front where the woman was seated, she had our Cabin Services Guide out and was pointing at a picture of our sandwich.
I was able to tell her the price, but I had to act out “credit card” because I couldn’t remember the word in Spanish.
The woman had no way of paying for the sandwich. A gentleman across the isle offered to buy it for her.
When I gave it to her I said “Esta comprando tu almuerzo,” pointing to our generous customer.
You can imagine how surprised I was when she understood me! She was so thankful and I was so proud that I had used my Spanish to help her.
I appreciate the time my instructor at Speak Espanol has spent with me and the unending support and patience. I know I have a long way to go, but I proved to myself that I have made great strides.
