avestruz

You know... when I learned the word for ostrich in high school, I laughed and went "when on EARTH am I ever going to need to know THAT word in spanish?"


today. I needed it today. It was so frustrating not even having an IDEA of the word I wanted. Like if you can't think of a verb, you find another one. Verbs are easy because you can act it out if you can't remember it. HOW DO YOU ACT OUT AN OSTRICH? And goodness knows the images in their heads had I said "very tall bird that can't fly" -- actually, that probably would have been really smart. Anyway, I went through THREE dictionaries. and then I found it, I remembered it and I went "STUPID JAMEE"

avestruz. OSTRICH = AVESTRUZ

sergio laughed at me. i deserved it.
