Thanks to a Spanish film festival at the library, I got in my maximum 5 points in that language. But it wasn’t particularly enjoyable. The film was a Mexican one featuring 90-year-old people. It moved slowly. For two hours. I read the subtitles in English. And I could catch the odd word (mumbled).
More enjoyable was the book I’ve just finished: Havana Bay by Martin Cruz Smith. It’s the fourth novel that features Arkady Renko. This one was set in Cuba, so it resounded with Spanish phrases.
Arkady, a Russian, knows no English, so he had to guess. Me too.
