Pants

I have a spanish vocab builder where I can speak into a microphone and it tells me if I'm speaking like a tourist or a native...

For some reason, I landed on "la ropa interior" word list...

and la entrepierna was the first on the list.

Today's phrase:

Dame tus bragas para comer

yes well, when you know a little spanish I guess you have to learn choice phrases. Apparently this a phrase that someone in Guernsey used to use a lot.

Speaking of Guernsey, I went skating with someone who knows Todd, Scott and well everyone from Guernsey - her name is Patsy - do you remember her?

Wednesday 7th's phrase is:

No hay mal que por bien no venga - Everything happens for a reason - lit. All bad things happen for a good reason. Ah well...how apt for that day...


Monday's phrase:

El tiempo estará como nalga de lavandera

The weather is freezing! I don't have the book with me, I think the literal translation is the weather will be like a washerwoman's pants? hmmm...

Christmas dinner today at the office....

¡Hola! He vuelto!

I'm back now, after a little pause.

Este tarde iré a patinar en Somerset House. Espero que nos divertamos!

Today's phrase:

In Nicaragua they would say:

El tiempo estará como nalga de lavandera.

Hasta luego.

This is very interesting. It's online videos in
Spanish with Spanish and translation underneath the
videos. You can click on any Spanish word and it gives
you a description/translation. You can also test your
listening skills by playing a game.

Great site for practising conjugations, you can make your own lists and the site will build a test for you.

Sorry about the pause

A friend of mine died on Wednesday.

Normal activities will resume shortly.

Echo de menos a Angela.

Estoy muy ocupada...

Estoy muy cansada ahora, he jugado al badminton este tarde, y acabo de comer mi cena...

Entonces, aqui es la frase del día...

No hay mal que por bien no venga...

Y la palabra de ayer:

un tostón = a bore....

;-)

Yawn.......what did he say?

Hola...

Today's phrase...

Nuestro profesor es un tostón. Me es difícil mantanerme despierta en su clase....no hablo sobre nuestro profesor de español claro!

byeeeee... ;-)

Hey, who's turn is it to get the tea?

We seem to use the word "take" for a multitude of activities.

Here are some links to some interesting pages.

Anyway here's the phrase of the day:

Te toca.

oh an another...

Yo no toqué tu(s) xxxx..... (insert object).

Yesterday's phrase:
Quién acaba de tirarse un pedo? - Who just farted?

Hasta luego

p.s. please correct me if I make a mistake in my spanish phrases...

A funny smell...

Still grappling with dar and traer...

Today's phrase:

Quién acaba de tirarse un pedo?

Yesterday's phrase
Ya maté a lo que me estaba matando.

means I'm full (lit. I've killed what was killing me - i.e. hunger).

Adios!

Chau chau

¡Buenos días!

Talking about chau chau, I watched a Spanish magazine programme yesterday and a chef was proudly explaining how to make a huge bowl of what looked like umm poo and soggy savoury snacks. OK! I know they were chorizo but the way she was stirring the vat reminded me of the outside chemical toilets that I had to use as a teenager when I was camping in Hong Kong....

Anyway, today's phrase is:

Ya maté a lo que me estaba matando.

Yesterday's phrase:
¡Hablo hasta por los codos! - I talk a lot - literally "I talk even through my elbows"

Bienvenido!

¡No puedo creer que ya sea diciembre!

I thought I would start a blog to track my Spanish progress through the months and to share some thoughts daily!

Each day I will work on learning a Spanish idiom which tickles my fancy!

May be I might work out how to record one and then you can guess what I'm saying!

Today's phrase:

¡Hablo hasta por los codos!

Tomorrow I'll post the translation!

Today I focus on conjugating dar and traer as there appears to be loads of phrases with these words in them.

¡Hasta la próxima!
