Accumulative-Of All The Words...

Nora (other exchange student) and I are sitting in English class.
The Spanish teacher kindly asks us if we could check over a student's essay for her. The girl had written it in Spanish, and the teacher had translated it to English.
The words on the English version were indeed English, but that was about the extent of what Nora and I could make of it. We went about correcting the English version. Nora found it easier to translate from the Spanish version. 
15 minutes later, Nora and I reached the second paragraph. Feeling pretty proud of ourselves at this point, we came to a dead end. We had to describe something, but the word wasn't coming to mind. I might also add that we hadn't really been able to speak in full sentences in English with each other. That's because our brains were a bit more accustomed to Spanish. We had hit a new low of brain freezes. We were stuck trying to come up with an ENGLISH word. We became human Thesauruses for the word, but for the life of us we could not think of what this word was. We gave up, and went on to the next sentence.
I had fixed two more seconds when I finally shouted, (mind you, we're in class,) 
ACCUMULATIVE!!!
Nora bounced excitedly. We loudly exclaimed, "That's it!" 
The teacher turns around from the blackboard and says sharply in her cute British/Spanish accent:
"Who's making all that noise?"
Nora and I cracked up and covered our mouths. 


Well, I guess you could say we're Accumatively losing our English.


;)


Again, we're sitting in English class. It's Thursday, and Nora and I are exhausted of the week. We're ready for Viernes! (Friday!!!) We're nearly asleep, reading our Spanish grammar books. The teacher, who I've begun to quite like, walks over and asks us if we could Please read these paragraphs Slowly and Clearly for the class.
The paragraphs were describing people who had changed since high school. 
Nora read:
"Remember Amy?"
"The blonde one?"
"Yes, her."
"She was quite FAT, wasn't she?"
- Nora and I begin to laugh and laugh.
Nora continues reading and then I take my turn.
After, tears are almost rolling down are faces.
The teachers says, "I suppose you don't use the word Fat the same as they do in England, correct?"
Our smiles said it all.
These are the moments I enjoy that Spaniards learn British English.
