| Dar gracias |
Gratitude is one of the most important feelings. It is nice to be grateful and also to experience the gratitude of the other.
We are very grateful for the success of our 1st campaign: Ageless Spanish and for the comments on this blog.
Thank you very much for allowing us to work on this, which we love.
In this podcast we talk about gratitude and how to use this word
How
are you? Good morning, good afternoon or good evening depending on where you
are or what time you are listening to us.

Thank
you very much for being here week after week and accepting the challenge to
practice Spanish for 5 minutes with us. We are Malena and Eduardo teachers at
Spanish in Cabo and SpanishUp2U.
We
are on 5 minutes of Spanish and this is episode number 159 (one
hundred and fifty-nine) We are very happy and thankful for all the 5 minutes
subscribers who participated in the Spanish without Age Challenge. If you are
here you are interested in Spanish so you are going to find something
interesting if you click
here, if you didn't do it now!
We
are convinced that it is very good to listen to Spanish and even if you don't
understand word by word try to understand the general meaning. Familiarizing
yourself with the rhythm of the language is fundamental. Besides, we hear many
words, what is today's word?
Today's
word is Gratitude, a beautiful word.
Gracias
is a simple word, one of the first words you learn when you study Spanish,
right?
It
is nice to hear that we are thanked for something, we really like to be told
thank you with a smile.
Sometimes
you might think that saying thank you is part of politeness. In school or when
we were children our parents would say to us:
Child,
how do you say it? And we would add:
thank you, just for formality.
But
to say thank you is much more than that.
The
verb “dar” has many uses, today we are going to focus on giving thanks for
something.
To
thank is to give thanks or to feel gratitude.
To
analyze what gratitude means we go to the origin of the word which is Latin and
has two distinct parts Gratus- pleasant. Grateful Tudo- quality
Gratitude
is the feeling that a person experiences when appreciating a favor or benefit
that someone gives him.
Gratitude
is felt
Derived
from “gracias” as:
Gratitud - gratitude
Agradecido - grateful
Agradecimiento- gratitude
Agradable - pleasant
Gratuito - free
Congraciarse- ingratiate yourself
How
about some examples?
We
are very grateful for the very good participation of students in the Challenge.
It
is great to experience gratitude
If
you have gratitude to all those who help you, you will always have friends.
And
if we say thank you or thank you very much the answer is:
You're
welcome / for nothing or you're welcome according to politeness formulas....
Do
you like to say thank you? You say it regularly, don’t you?

SpanishUp2U would not exist without you. Our role is to be with you as we

mission, so we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for listening.
