It took me about 2 months before I said this phrase: Estoy emocionada. It means "I'm excited!!" but I just couldn't get it out of my head that I was saying "I'm emotional". So, I just didn't say it. That's right, I'm so stubborn that for 2 months I wasn't excited about anything (in Spanish). But I eventually got over it and have embraced my emotional excitement.
ESTOY EMOCIONADA QUE IRME A LAS GALAPAGOS!!!
Phew. I feel so much better getting that off my chest!
Another English/Spanish mix up I had when I first got here: Estoy embarazada.
Doesn't mean I'm embarrassed. Nope. I'm pregnant.
Definitely not the same thing.
