i remember my college days, we have a subject in Spanish, and i made it good, i still remember some of what i learned. My teacher used to be a mestiza Spanish nun, and she was so strict, we have to be attentive and we must learn her subject or else! those were the days,but i learned to take the subject so easily. maybe because some of our words being used in our dialect is a mixture of spanish language.....just a bit of our history...we have been under Spanish colonialism for over 400yrs.
thank you for sharing this one, and yes i will try think words or phrases for translations.
I am so going to fail this lesson!
Yo estoy tomando sol en la playa in just three weeks!!!
Love te amo tuesday.
I really wish I knew if el sol would be out in CT this coming weekend so I would know what to pack in my maleta! I am absolutely certain I am in no danger of saying "hace calor" though. =P
I am cracking up at "don't fall out of the boat" -- LOL!!
lolit-glad you liked the lesson.
vanessa-everyone passes my Spanish lessons. you can't fail. :)
OP-i'm jealous that you'll be tomando sol en la playa. glad you liked the lesson.
Dawn-i hope you are able to say "hace calor" even if it's just a little bit. I thought the "don't fall out of the boat" went well with the "estoy borracho" phrase.
Estoy borracho--I'm going to have to remember that one: )
Estoy Borracha!! Ah! I love it!
These are great. Thanks so much.
Now to make myself a cheat sheet..
These lessons are awesome! I love the phrase for not falling out of the boat. Ha Ha Ha
How do you say, "Does my butt look fat in this bathing suit?" ;)
Foobella - here ya go: "se me ven las nalgas muy grandes con ese traje de baño?
I'm LMAO!!
