Spanish lessons

[mindstalk]

So, I think I wanted "¿Cómo (yo) salo sin la llave?" "How do I leave without a key?" Actually, hmm, maybe "¿Cómo puedo salir sin la llave?" "How can I leave without a key?"

Went for airport hotel. Stupid wifi here is a paid username password pair, and it objects to being used on more than one computer at once.

What's with Cómo vs. Como? Wouldn't Como be pronounced Cómo anyway?

Went shopping. Area is full of monochrome terra cotta brick buildings, but the supermarket is large and has a newly seen diversity of cheese and meats. That would have been interesting were I sticking around longer.

Hotel is funky. Funk name, "taCH by Clementhoteles", with an umlaut over the a. Dim lighting in the hallways that I think is trying to be hip rather than creepy.

Food: feel cheap, so figured I'd eat bread, jamon serrano, and camembert, with mandarins for fiber. Poor me. :)

"Cómo puedo salir sin la llave" or "Como salgo sin la llave", which is what your first try was heading for. ^_^

Ah, I thought 'salo' felt wrong... Are you actually using the two different forms of Como, or forgot an accent on the second one?

Thanks. Also, addendums to entry.

When it's a question word, it should have an accent.

The one thing I can't give advice on is accents. And sometimes I spell a little oddly when it comes to 'c', 'z', and 's'. ^_^

Comes from learning a language orally when you're young, but writing almost exclusively in English.

Also possible: "Cómo se puede salir sin la llave?" ("how can one...")
