Speaking can get you in trouble. Speaking a foreign language can get you in more trouble.
During my first month here, I came down to the office one night to finish some work for a tournament the next day.
I was here for about twenty minutes when a security guard knocked on the door and asked (in Spanish) what I was doing. I couldn’t really explain a whole lot, but convinced him I worked here. I don't remember how.
When he was about to leave I tried to tell him I was liked that he was around to keep things safe.
He got a funny look on his face and left quickly.
The next day, I repeated to Ilsa what I told him in Spanish.
She told me that I said I loved him and that I was glad he was there.
