My Favorite Color is Tuesday

Not much to report-- getting ready for a paper due Thursday so nothing exciting going on last week. Instead, I'll give you a funny story from last week's Turkish class.

We were learning "which" (hangi) and "in my/your opinion" (bence/sence) in class. The professor was going around asking us each questions, and I got: Sence hangi renk güzel? (Which color do you think is pretty?) Since the guy before me had already said blue and I couldn't remember the word for green, I said "Bence salı güzel," intending to say that I think yellow is pretty. The only problem was that yellow is actually "sarı," and salı means Tuesday. Which is pretty lovely as days go, I guess...

It's been so long since I started learning Spanish (and English too, I guess) that I forgot about the funny little mistakes like that. But if I get frustrated, I'll just remember that trip to Bulgaria. At least I don't have to learn a whole different script!
