I started learning English when I was three years old, grammar , writing , speaking , listening, everything. So my English is pretty good, or at least I thought it was , until I arrived at keeners, and I heard the first river talk of the week. I had never been more lost before. Kayaking has been my life for the past two years, but every time I went to the river, there was at least one Spanish speaker in the water with me, so all the kayaking concepts I know are in Spanish, or at least most of them. So listening to the coaches say all this things we had to do in the water, and being so lost , made me realize that if I didn’t start practicing my river language as soon as I could , I was going to be lost for the whole session. Three days have passed now, and I have learned a lot, I’ll go back home being a bilingual kayaker. So if you have any doubts about coming to keeners and not speaking English perfectly , don’t worry, you’ll learn a bit every day, all you have to do is ask and keep asking.
