How do you say " I'm going to a concert" in Spanish?
I'm taking this Spanish class in the evenings at the local community college. I graduated from college a long time ago but felt the need to learn something again. Now I sit in a class filled with 18 year olds twice a week to prove to myself that I am smarter and more mature now than I was at the age of 18.
The teacher is from Spain. She is strict and speaks only in Spanish. This sort of made the first day of class difficult, seeing how this is Spanish 101 and none of us knew what she was saying. She handed out the syllabus, not written in Spanish, and I saw that after 2 absences you would be expelled from the class. I also noticed that our first exam was scheduled for February 10th.
Ahh, shit. Not only do I not speak Spanish, but I don't know how to explain to Professora Perfect that I will be absent at least once and that day happens to be the day of our first exam.
I have a really good reason. See, I'm going to this concert. Mistah Checka bought tickets before I even registered for this class. I've waited for 10 years to see this concert. Hell, I was in college last time I even went to a concert. I deserve a musical treat that doesn't involve bouncing a baby on your knee and singing rhymes at story time.
So, I'm going to the damn concert. So much for proving that I am more mature than the 18 year olds in my class. Let them be all high and mighty and get A's in the class. I already have a college degree, who do I need to impress?
Maybe I can convince Ani to sing a song in Spanish so it's a somewhat educational experience.
What do ya think?
Hm.
Professor, puedo ir a un concerto de Ani, por favor?
At least I think that is right. Change 'concerto de Ani' to 'el bano' and you have, "Professor, may I go to the bathroom, please?
But it's been a few years.
If that doesn't work try: Veg es un Slacker. :-)
