I thought I understood most of her question.
At least I got the important words, more or less. I may have zoned out a little for the verb, the subject, an adjective, an object pronoun, and a noun mixed in there, but I had the general gist.
After several years of Spanish classes, I knew what I was doing. I must have missed the words “airplane”, “teenage child”, “fly”, and “you”, but I got the word “Santiago”. That’s a city. I knew all about the city I was located in.
