Today I was taking the C1 level Spanish test and the woman who was supposed to interview me asked if I knew any Basque, and I replied that I knew some words like: Kaixo, agur, mesedez, lecker.
But then I remembered that “lecker” is German.
And instead of correcting myself, I just made everything worse by correcting myself in English while I was supposed to speak Spanish.
Remember kids, be careful not to swap involuntarily between languages in a very important test.
Being a language person is hard sometimes.
I hope I didn’t get a bad grade for that…
