\u00bfEs aprender espa\u00f1ol uno de tus prop\u00f3sitos de a\u00f1o nuevo? No te asustes, porque hay un mont\u00f3n de palabras que ya conoces. Por ejemplo, puedes ver un film<\/b> y dar tu opini\u00f3n sobre el actor<\/b> principal. Tambi\u00e9n puedes comprar un \u00e1lbum<\/b> de m\u00fasica y decir a tus amigos c\u00f3mo de admirable<\/b> (u horrible<\/b>, dependiendo del caso) es la voz del cantante. \u00a1O incluso escucharlo en la radio<\/b>!<\/p>\n

Tambi\u00e9n puedes comentar acerca del aroma<\/b> artificial<\/b> que algunos dulces de chocolate<\/b> tienen, y lo sensual<\/b> que es compartir una caja de bombones con tu chico o chica. Pero imagina que los bombones est\u00e1n caducados: posiblemente tendr\u00e1s que ir al hospital<\/b> a ver a un doctor<\/b> y asegurarte de que tu enfermedad no est\u00e1 causada por un virus<\/b>. Despu\u00e9s de eso puedes ir al zoo<\/b> a ver alg\u00fan animal<\/b> si vives en una capital<\/b>, o quiz\u00e1 prefieras un hotel<\/b>, o un motel <\/b>(un oasis<\/strong> ser\u00eda demasiado, \u00bfno os parece?), para descansar tras esta terrible<\/strong> velada.<\/p>\n

Cuidado con quienes te pidan un favor<\/b>, puede ser fatal<\/b> para ti: la crisis<\/b> todav\u00eda est\u00e1 ah\u00ed fuera, y pueden necesitar un d\u00f3lar<\/b> o dos (cientos). A esta lista podemos a\u00f1adir canal<\/b>, civil<\/b>, conclusi\u00f3n<\/b>, final<\/b>, funeral<\/b>, general<\/b>, honor<\/b>, horror<\/b>, natural<\/b>, taxi<\/b>, o terror<\/b>.<\/p>\n

Como veis, ten\u00e9is mucho material<\/b> para iniciar una conversaci\u00f3n en espa\u00f1ol, y practicar.<\/p>\n

Is learning Spanish one of your New Year resolutions? Don\u00b4t panic, because there are a lot of words you already know.\u00a0 For example, you can watch a film<\/b> and give your opinion<\/b> about the main actor<\/b>. You can also buy a music album<\/b> and tell your friends how admirable<\/b> (or how horrible<\/b>, depending on the case) the singer\u00b4s voice is. Or even listen to it in the radio<\/b>!<\/p>\n

You can also discuss about the artificial<\/b> aroma<\/b> some chocolate<\/b> sweets have, and how sensual<\/b> it is to share a box of chocolates with your boy or girl. But imagine the sweets are gone bad: you\u00b4ll probably have to go to the hospital<\/b> to see a doctor<\/b> and be sure your illness is not caused by a virus<\/b>. After that you can go to the zoo<\/b> to see some animal<\/b>s if you live in a capital<\/b>, or maybe you prefer a hotel<\/b>, or a motel<\/b> (an oasis<\/b> would be too much\u2026 don\u00b4t you think?) to rest after this terrible<\/b> evening.<\/p>\n

Be careful with people who ask you for a favor<\/b>, it can be fatal<\/b> for you: the crisis<\/b> is still out there, and they can be in needed of a dol<\/b>lar<\/b> or two (hundred). We can add to the list canal<\/b>, civil<\/b>, conclusion<\/b>, final<\/b>, funeral<\/b>, general<\/b>, honor<\/b>, horror<\/b>, natural<\/b>, taxi<\/b>, or terror<\/b>.<\/p>\n

As you can see you have plenty of material<\/b> to start a conversation in Spanish, and have some practice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\"\"
