I am although fascinated by the Spanish soaps and talk shows. I probably am not getting much of it at all, and now I don not have tv, but earlier days of living in the US, I was spending much of my free time just having fun watching Spanish shows and movies:)) Oh I also watched french, Chinese, Japanese, and Italian..no I have no background in any of it..but could understand the movies:))<br />Subadra<br />-SubadraSubadrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15217691518929408931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4111228953718918006.post-75371459352659355592010-07-30T13:59:56.751-04:002010-07-30T13:59:56.751-04:00Great point about tv shows.

When we are discussing things and the kids give me that blank look I say the "anyone?....anyone?" and they get a laugh out of it.
