Next, please tell me the expressions in Spanish to say the following:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To eat a lot<br \/>\nTo be a big eater<br \/>\nTo eat very little<br \/>\nTo have qualms about something\/to turn your nose up at something<br \/>\n Certain food is nothing special to me<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Can you understand these sentences in Spanish?:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Mar\u00eda me ha dicho que su hijo come como un pajarito.<br \/>\nMi hermano tiene un est\u00f3mago sin fondo.<br \/>\nYo no le hago ascos a nada.<br \/>\nMe voy a poner las botas.<br \/>\nHoy hemos ido a un restaurante y nos hemos puesto morados.<br \/>\nA m\u00ed esta comida no me dice nada.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Finally, please translate the following sentences from English to Spanish using the Spanish eating expressions you have learned:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>My son eats a lot.<br \/>\nWhen I arrive home, I always eat a lot.<br \/>\nChocolate is nothing special to me.<br \/>\nYesterday I ate a lot.<br \/>\nForcing to eat is not good.<br \/>\nWhen I was young I used to eat very little. <\/p>\n<p>Bueno, pues esto es todo por hoy.<\/p>\n<p>As you see, in Spanish we have quite a few expressions related to food and eating. To practice these, create sentences about yourself, your relatives or people you know using these expressions. Like this you will remember them a lot better. Also make sure you try them out when you are speaking with native speakers.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a1Hasta pronto!<\/p>\n<p>I hope you are enjoying my weekly interactive Spanish lessons.
