Estaba muy rico. Pero quería comer muy tiempo. En aquel entonces, escuché que algunas personas hablaron en español. Traté de escuchar sus conversasion, pero no pudé, porque ellos estuvieron sentados muy lejos. Escuché la palabra “partido”! Piensé que ellos hablaron acerca de fútbol. Me gustaría hablar con ellos!!!
I went out for lunch today. I wanted to go somewhere I have not been, but I didn't have much time so I went to one of my favorite Japanese restaurant. When I get there, it was 13:30, so there were a few customers there.
I had to finish eating less than 30 minutes, so I ate my lunch as soon as possible. When I finished eating, I found that there was 10 minutes left. I felt a little bit tired. I thought I should bring something to read while I was drinking oolong tea. Then, I heard conversation between 2 or 3 people. They were talking in Spanish, and I started listening to their conversation without noticing it. The voices were not loud enough to get the all words. It was like back ground music. I sometimes understood a few words. I was not concentrate to hearing them. But all of my sense awakened by the simple one word “partido”. The word “partido” means game in English.
I guess they were talking about football. It might be a prejudice, but who knows? At that time, I really wanted to learn Spanish again! I simply wanted to know something about football anyway. One of my co-workers called me “a girl who is in a Word Cup fever longer than anybody else”.
