Things That Are Not Easy to Explain in a Second Language:
1. Maple syrup. ("Jugo del árbol. Es muy sabrosa!")
~("Tree juice. It's very delicious!")

2. Groundhog Day ("El animal de la tierra se despierta y quizás puede ver la cosa que el sol hace. Entonces, tal vez hay primavera!")
~("The animal of the earth wakes up and maybe it can see the thing that the sun makes. Then, maybe there will be spring!")

3. "Wicked," the book. ("Conoces la historia sobre la niña, el león, el hombre de metal, y el hombre de césped viejo? Pues, mi libro es sobre la bruja sola.")
~("Do you know the story about the girl, the lion, the man of metal, and the man of old lawn? Well, my book is about the witch only.")

More to come once I remember/encounter them.
