Are we done with the hype? What's the podcast about today?

 

Today in podcast number 133 we are going to talk about a current topic: the North American Leaders Summit.

 

Oh... and now, are we a news podcast? I already said that our topic is Spanish....

 

No, of course not, we're just going to talk about the word summit and the word reception.

 

Ah, thank goodness!

 

Just these days the President of Mexico Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) received the President of the United States Joe Biden and the Prime Minister of Canada Justin Trudeau.  Here in Mexico on TV and on the Internet we listened, very excited, to the speeches and saw the receptions, the arrival of the presidents with their beautiful wives, so we were inspired to talk about this.

 

Yes, Mexico hosted the X (tenth) North American Leaders' Summit.

 

Shall we go with the vocabulary?

 

Speech in English is speech - speech

 

The president of Mexico speaks slowly in his speeches, he is understood, we could invite him to the podcast. Although, I don't think he'll accept the 5 minutes...

 

Yes, and besides, he doesn't have time... And what does “cumbre” mean?

 

It is the highest part of a mountain - Summit, top.

 

It is also the name of a street in Los Angeles, I imagine it is an uphill street?

 

Also, summit is a meeting of important national or international leaders.

 

And leader?

 

It is a borrowed word from English, leader, which means the one who leads, guides.

 

And in Spanish it is written with an accented "i", attention!

 

“Recibir” has a cognate in English: to receive. Its use is very similar.

 

President López Obrador received President Joe Biden at the Felipe Ángeles International Airport, one of the largest and most modern airports in the Americas.

 

You can also receive a letter, a Fedex package, or good or bad news.

 

In its reflexive form it is receiving or graduating.

 

He studied at the University and graduated as a Spanish teacher for foreigners.
