During her early days of studying Spanish in 2022, writer Catherine Lacey kept a journal of what she was learning. "As I looked through it more recently, it became clear how cheerfully deranged the early days of learning a new language appear from even the slightest distance,"she writes for The Paris Review of the book, which contains such phrases as: "They are afraid of my cat! Why? I don’t know." and "She is a pilot. I was stupid. She was a pilot I was a marathoner until my accident."
