First, let\u00b4s see if you understand the following sentences in Spanish:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Este perfume huele fenomenal.<br \/>\nLa paella huele que alimenta.<br \/>\nEl postre est\u00e1 muy rico.<br \/>\nAqu\u00ed huele muy mal.<br \/>\nNo entres, ah\u00ed huele que apesta.<br \/>\nTengo debilidad por el chocolate.<br \/>\nNo me molesta este olor.<br \/>\nNo puedo comer esto, me da asco.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Next, I will say some different foods in Spanish and I would like you to make a sentence for each one using some of the expressions you have learned depending on your particular preference. For example, if I say \u201cEl caf\u00e9\u201d, if you like it, you could say \u201cMe encanta el caf\u00e9\u201d but if you don\u00b4t like it you could say \u201cEl caf\u00e9 me sabe fatal\u201d:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>El pescado<br \/>\nEl chocolate<br \/>\nLas naranjas<br \/>\nEl vino tinto<br \/>\nEl whisky<br \/>\nEl arroz<br \/>\nEl pan<br \/>\nLas fresas<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Now let\u00b4s do the same type of exercise, but this time describing smells:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Las rosas<br \/>\nEl pan<br \/>\nEl caf\u00e9<br \/>\nLas sardinas<br \/>\nEl huevo cocido<br \/>\nLos perfumes fuertes<br \/>\nLos beb\u00e9s<br \/>\nLas flores<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Next, let\u00b4s practice different tastes. Please try to translate the following sentences from English to Spanish:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I don\u00b4t like desserts. I prefer savoury food.<br \/>\nLemons are very sharp.<br \/>\nI don\u00b4t like bland food.<br \/>\nDo you like bitter chocolate?<br \/>\nI love spicy food.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Finally, please translate these sentences from Spanish to English:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Esta tarta est\u00e1 demasiado dulce.<br \/>\nLas frutas agrias saben muy mal.<br \/>\nHe echado demasiada sal a la comida, est\u00e1 salada.<br \/>\nMe gusta la comida muy picante.<br \/>\nPrefiero las naranjas cuando saben dulces, que cuando saben \u00e1cidas.<\/p>\n<p>Bueno, pues hemos terminado por hoy.<\/p>\n<p>I hope you have found this lesson interesting. Try to practice when you go to a Spanish or Latin American restaurant by saying how much you like one food or another. Also, you can write down sentences with your preferences of foods and smells and the preferences of other people you know. This will help you to memorise the vocabulary.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a1Que pas\u00e9is una buena semana! \u00a1Adi\u00f3s!<\/p>\n<p>I hope you are enjoying my weekly interactive Spanish lessons.
