Before there was Friendsโฆ
Before there was The Simpsons
Even before there was Dallasโฆ
There was I Love Lucy.ย
I Love Lucy is an old TV show about a husband and wife, Ricky and Lucy Ricardo, who live in New York City.ย
Ricky Ricardo is from Cuba and works as a bandleader at the Tropicana nightclub.ย
Lucy gets is American and gets into trouble every episode.
And when Ricky finds out what Lucy has done, he gets mad.
But he doesnโt get mad in English.
No. He loses his temper in Spanish.ย
Have a look: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2uo1Q8F9BA
When I was a kid and saw Ricky yelling at Lucy in Spanish, I thought, โWhoa, thatโs cool. I wish I could yell at my friends in a language they donโt understand.โย
So I thought about Ricky today when a Vitamin V reader wrote to me and said,ย
I want better English because when I am furious at my British husband, who doesn’t speak Bulgarian, I canโt find the right words to express my feelings fast enough.ย
My advice?
Try Spanish.ย
Haha, I know this feeling! ๐
That is a great idea! Thanks!๐
I used it many times. Just more expression ๐
It is fanny, but it works. Thanks!
๐ Ha, ha, excellent idea. But maybe that’s why I also wish to master Spanish befor the end of my days. But even earlier, my goal is to reach the planet English.
Yes, Planet English first… good idea!

Nice advise…, ha-ha
