A tuna sandwich is the only fish type food I can stomach and to be honest I think that real fish eaters tend to think that people who eat tuna sandwiches are wimps. Anyway, I went to a restaurant on one of my first days after starting to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.listenandlearn.org\/spanish\/\">learn Spanish<\/a>. The waitress asked me what I wanted to eat and my mind suddenly went blank. I had learned very few words by that stage and the one we had learned at the end of the class was, you guessed it, pescado. For some reason I asked for this, perhaps dimly hoping that a tuna sandwich would arrive to my table. Sadly it was an unidentifiable (to me) fish with a green sauce. I only ate about two forkfuls of it and was still as sick as a dog for the next week.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/radiocentrobovril.com.ar\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/pescado1.jpg\" alt=\"null\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When I started taking Spanish lessons I never imagined that I would regret learning some of the words.
