Did we finish the advertising round?

 

Yes, and we're still in the month of love so .....

 

No, don't tell me that again with the couple and love, don't you think it's a little corny?

 

No, why? On February 14 we say profound things like: 'You are the air I breathe' or 'I can't live a second without you' or 'You are the light of my life'. A little cheesy but with a lot of Spanish words.

 

Ay por Dios, it's not a little cheesy, it's very cheesy. What is true is that these expressions have a lot of vocabulary. But, please, don't use them with your partner.

Well, it depends, let's go with the vocabulary:

 

Cursy - corny

Eres el aire que respiro. -You are the air I breathe.

No puedo vivir un segundo sin ti. -   I can't live a second without you.

Eres la luz de mi vida. - you are the light of my life.

 

You're already realizing what the theme of today's podcast is, aren't you? It's love and humor, these words that we say a lot but are actually two mysteries of life.

 

One is spelled with an h and the other is not…

 

Well, yes, and besides, they are characteristics of humans, they differentiate us from animals.

 

With love and humor, you can elevate the spirit or fall into absolute ridicule.

 

Yes, people in love are funny, sometimes...and ridiculous too.

 

It's great to laugh with friends and with your partner. I, for example, love the jokes my wife makes.

 

Humor helps a lot in relationships. When was the last time you laughed with your partner?"

 

Are you good at jokes?

 

Romantic comedy, since Shakespeare's time, has been very successful because of the humor and love. We see how two people who can't stand each other at first end up falling in love, like two lovebirds. And we all enjoy their comical attitudes... and a little bit ridiculous.

 

If it's good for comedy, love and humor it has to be good for improving your Spanish.

 

chistes o bromas      -           jokes

éxito                            -           success

enamorarse               -           to fall in love

tortolitos                     -           lovebirds

personas que no aguanto – people I cannot stand

 

We have a story about love and humor, it's about a Spanish student, like you, who was very responsible and successful in his profession, but in Spanish he was not so outstanding. Sometimes you have to give yourself time, because to learn a language you need to use other parts of your brain.

 

The truth is that the couple who studied with him helped him with laughter and jokes. Then, he realized that if he relaxed and laughed at his own confusion with the words, he would do much better. Now he is a Spanish teacher, he has no money, but he is super happy.

 

And you, do you want to laugh and learn Spanish? We are waiting for you in SpanishUp2U, one of the best clubs to improve your Spanish. Click here and see all the materials you have.

 

Don't take our word for it, come to the open workshop on Friday and tell us about it.

 

Or, schedule your 30-minute appointment to make your study plan.

 

I don't know if you're going to fall in love, but you're going to laugh a lot. And you're going to speak great Spanish.

 

And if you take a look at our social networks we'll leave some resources to make a card for your partner, in case you forgot to give him/her something on February 14...
