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 in 5 minutes of Spanish and this is episode number 157 (one hundred and fifty-seven) It is a very, very special episode. We ask that if you are reading it, hopefully in Spanish that you turn on the audio, okay? That way you have more Spanish input, but if you click here you will have a lot of material to practice.

 

It's great to listen to Spanish and even if you don't understand word for word try to understand the general meaning. But why is this episode of the podcast so important?

Ah! because today we have a surprise, an exclusive news, something we are doing for the first time and remember that Los 5 minutos started in 2020, it's already old, I mean the Podcast, of course.

 

Okay, okay, but let's get specific, what is today's word?

 

The scoop.

 

Yes, you already said we have a scoop, but; I repeat: what is today's word?

 

Our word is scoop, a noun that means First fruit of anything and in actuality news that is made public for the first time.

For example: The newspaper announces a scoop, Leonel Messi is playing in the U.S.A.

 

That is not a scoop.

 

Ah sure, it's not new.... So, let's go to show business:

Renowned actress Soyla Rosa Espinosa del Campo will be vacationing in Los Cabos and taking courses at the prestigious and elegant Spanish in Cabo.

 

Ah, well that's a scoop. Scoops are usually about sports or show business.

 

But we have better ones for you than this actress.... the actress is really famous, do you know her?

 

Primicia  - scoop, premiére.  preview. 

 

And in French annonce exclusive, annonce inédite or scoop.

 

And what is the history of this word?

 

It comes from the Latin primitiae-arum. It was an offering given to the divinities for the harvest or the beginning of the hunt. That's why it means first fruit of any activity.

 

Cosecha harvest

Caza hunting
