Hola, ¿cómo les va todo?

One of the funniest movies I’ve seen recently is The Hangover, which in Latin America is called Qué Pasó Ayer (What happened yesterday) and in Spain Resacón en Las Vegas (Hangover in Las Vegas). It’s about four friends who go to Vegas to celebrate a bachelor party for Doug (played by Zach Galifianakis). They make a toast on the hotel roof, then the next thing they know, the next morning, is that the groom is missing, there’s a tiger in their room and a baby too.

Now, if you want to know the rest of the story, rent the movie! I was looking at Amazon.com and the DVD brings both subtitles and audio in Spanish, so that’s a great opportunity to practice your listening skills and colloquial Spanish. Remember, it’s not a movie for kids!

A tip for watching movies in Spanish: if you’re watching it in Spanish with the subtitles in Spanish too, take some time and jot down some expressions you find useful, or that are not familiar to you. Review them afterwards, google them, see more examples and eventually make your own sentences using them.

Here’s the trailer of the movie in Spanish (Mexican and Spain).

Espero que les guste el tip. Nos vemos prontito.
