Amazing Race

Last week I watched The Amazing Race. I don't remember exactly where it said the contestants were, but they were in a Spanish speaking country. Sometimes one of the citizens would be speaking Spanish, and also some of the contestants knew a little Spanish. I actually could understand a lot of what was being said. The three words I heard the most were muy, cuanto, and gracias. It was easy to understand what the Americans were saying when they spoke Spanish, because they mostly only knew as much as I do. I thought it was cool though how I was able to understand quite a few words that the Spanish people were saying too.
