Hi Tony, I am Carmelo.
One of my Spanish students from Seville went to London on vacation to improve his English. When he returned, he told me that knowing only very little English helped him to find a girlfriend. And this is the story: Juán was sitting on a bench in Hyde Park, trying to read an English newspaper, when he saw a pretty girl sitting alone on a nearby bench. So he went to the girl and said to her, “Are you only?” The girl couldn’t stop laughing. This is how their nice, romantic relationship started.
