Spanish in Cabo

¿Les gustaría hablar español con comodidad? O ¿poder chatear con amigos hispanohablantes con naturalidad? O tal vez, ¿pensar o soñar en español? De acuerdo a nuestra experiencia en Spanish in Cabo los estudiantes más satisfechos con sus logros son aquellos que cumplen 3 características 1   están determinados, desde el inicio a dominar el idioma   y son consistentes con este objetivo, pero sin ser demasiado autocríticos. Ser un poquitín cabezón, algunas veces, está bien.  Lo hago porque lo hago y no me para nadie. 2 buscan comunicarse con las palabras que conocen y   de forma simple; lo importante es la comunicación.

In the 5 minutes of Spanish in the middle of the week we are going to comment on something basic, but very practical: the greetings and goodbyes, something more than hello and goodbye. In the Saturday workshops, we work a little bit on this.   It is always interesting, because it is something that is used a lot. That's why we decided to reflect a little on how we greet and how we respond to the greeting, according to the time of day, the context (formal or informal) or the age. Good morning Eduardo, how are you? Very well thanks, and you? or Great, thanks, and you? Good afternoon, how are you? Fantastic, thanks, and you? “¿Qué tal?”, it's a practical expression: how was your day? Very good, we had a new group online and recorded the podcast. How was the beach? Wonderful, Palmilla is the best! If we're on a formal job or with someone we don't know: How are you doing Mr. Satorno? Very well thanks, and you? Good evening, nice to see yo...

Let's see its uses: 1 – Tocar as the action of touching something "to touch": We hear it a lot now in coronavirus time: one of the recommendations is: Do not touch your face.

What do you do to see if an avocado's about to come out? I touch the tip. Why didn't you buy any potatoes today? Because, I went to the stall, I touched them and they were soft. When I was a child I lived in a hydroelectric dam and on the big high voltage columns there was a sign with a skull that said: DON'T TOUCH - DANGER OF DEATH - I didn't go near there at all! 2 - Another very common use is: Tocar as "turn to do something In a family we share the tasks and each one has to do...
