First, let\u00b4s see if you know how to say these things in Spanish. Remember the translation from English to Spanish is often not literal:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>What a pain!<br \/>\nIt\u00b4s better than nothing<br \/>\nMy God!<br \/>\nWhat a mess!<br \/>\nPatience!<br \/>\nTake it easy<br \/>\nWe\u00b4ll manage<br \/>\nThat\u00b4s life<br \/>\nWhat a shame!<br \/>\nWhat can you do!<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Next, I will say a sentence in Spanish and I would like you to say a Spanish expression of resignation that you would say in that context:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ma\u00f1ana no va a hacer buen tiempo. No va a llover, pero va a hacer fr\u00edo<br \/>\nAl final, Carlos y Sonia se han divorciado.<br \/>\n\u00a1No puedo m\u00e1s, no consigo memorizar los verbos irregulares!<br \/>\nMe tengo que ir. \u00bfYa vais a poder limpiar la casa solos? <\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Now, I will say more sentences in Spanish and I would like you to answer back with Spanish expressions of consolation:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a1No puedo m\u00e1s! \u00a1Mi espa\u00f1ol no mejora!<br \/>\nEstoy muy preocupada por la operaci\u00f3n de Antonio<br \/>\nHe discutido con Roberto y no nos hablamos. Estoy muy triste<br \/>\nMi espa\u00f1ol no mejora, no s\u00e9 qu\u00e9 hacer. <\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Finally, let\u00b4s practice how to describe whether something annoys you or not using the Spanish expressions \u201cMe molesta que\u2026\u201d or \u201cMe fastidia que\u2026\u201d plus a verb in subjuntivo. For example, if I say \u201cLa gente habla muy alto\u201d. If this annoys you, you could say \u201cMe molesta que la gente hable muy alto\u201d or \u201cMe fastidia que la gente hable muy alto\u201d. If it doesn\u00b4t annoy you, then you could say \u201cNo me molesta que la gente hable muy alto\u201d or \u201cNo me fastidia que la gente hable muy alto\u201d:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>La gente fuma en el ascensor.<br \/>\nLos ni\u00f1os gritan.<br \/>\nMi madre no me escucha.<br \/>\nHace mucho fr\u00edo en invierno.<br \/>\nHace mucho calor en verano.<br \/>\nLa comida est\u00e1 fr\u00eda.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bueno, pues ya hemos terminado.<\/p>\n<p>Set expressions and phrases such as the ones we have practiced today are an important area of any language, so I hope this review lesson has helped to clarify and remind you of these useful ways to express annoyance, resignation, lament, and consolation. Try to find situations when you would use them, as this is the best way to memorise them.<\/p>\n<p>Have a great week! \u00a1Hasta pronto!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I hope you are enjoying my weekly interactive Spanish lessons.
