Hace bastante tiempo que no hablo en espan~ol!

One of my colleagues speaks Spanish, Korean, English and Japanese very fluently.He tried to speak to me in Spanish today.But it seemed he got tired because it was already past 8 o’clock and he didn’t speak well at all.He was speaking like this.Tu… estudiar… español... No, estudiarás... Ummm, what do you call “today” in English?I was quite surprised because he was a kind of chatterbox person, so it was rare for him to mumble.I hesitated to reply. I am a beginner of learning Spanish, so I felt that it is like showing off my knowledge.I replied “I suppose the word “today” is “hoy” in Spanish” in a sheepish voice.He mumbled the word “hoy” several times, and he said it wasn’t the right answer.For him, the meaning of the word “hoy” is “there is” or “there are”.I didn’t understand the word he was thinking at that time, however I encountered it after we left.The word he was trying to say was “hay”.Anyway, I was right!!!By the way, my reply to his question was “No, no estudiaré español hoy, porque no tendré mucho tiempo para estudiar!”(No, I won’t study Spanish because I won’t have much time to study!)I spoke this phrase very easily.I wonder why I could speak this phrase very easily.And I noticed that I use this phrase very often!!!You must use the language if you want to master it as soon as possible!?
