There’s something about speaking in Spanish–even when I know only half of what I say will be understood. And when I understand too, even when it´s only half (because I’m listening to Portuguese), it only amplifies that feeling.
You know the sensation in your muscles when you’ve worked really really hard–so hard you can’t do anything else? But it doesn’t feel bad: there’s no tightness or pain, your muscles just feel like they’ve been used exactly the way they should be used, no more and no less.
That’s how my brain feels when the Spanish clicks. It’s euphoric in a way Chichewa has never been for me.
