Yes I did it again, I could not resist as I could not leave while this process was being done and the father that started up this business explain in his portugese/english language what all was being done with the process of pouring down this concrete for the driveway. And how long it would take before
it would be ready to be used. Before this time it has been mud as when I arrived back in Edmonton, the next four days it rained.
Thankfully now it's all done and it really will be 5 days for the driveway to be used. An interesting father and son relationship. He immigrated from Portugal 35 years ago. In the morning when I met him, I spoke to him in my broken spanish. He is explaining the process of laying down this foundation with concrete in a broken english combined with portugese. He wanted to try to make it all in spanish, but I told him to just go with the flow. Meanwhile, I had to stay here and but how busy the entire last week was this was fun.
He said his son's business but the son only was able to do it with the help of his padre. Yo se.
ReplyDeleteIf I understood well, he is explaining that they have to make it a certain way so it resists our cold winters. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteSim...it is hard to explain when I am around the language, I understand it and I conjugate french and spanish. Where he was thought that I was wanting to have him speak in spanish, and I told him speak as you wish. So he I understood what he was saying. I love it when I am around the language as fast enough a spanish and portugese are very similiar. As is italian.
