Each day our Spanish improves...........we now can effectively communicate with our gardener Juan and our weekly cleaning lady Maria. What began as sign language has now become daily exchanges of basic communication. Although we stumble with putting together complete sentences, both Juan and Maria seem to understand what we are trying to say. Every now and then they begin laughing when we mistakenly use an incorrect word. I think they applaud our efforts! Here are just a few of the words we use on a daily basis.............
*Basura - garbage
* Hasta Luego - see you later
* Mucho Mahor - big job
* Poco, Poco - little by little
* Paintura - painting
* Jardin - garden
* Mucho Deneros - alot of money
* Plantas - plants
* Auga - water
* Mucho Calor - very hot
* Juvia - Rain
* Bano - bathroom
* Libramento - highway
* mas - alot
* grande - large
* especial - special
* necessario - necessary
* muerto - dead
* hoy - today
* ahorrar - save
*cafe solo - black coffee
* poco cafe por favor - a little more coffee please!
* de nada - you're welcome (or "don't mention it")
* Pollio - chicken
*Pierro - dog
*vente - for sale
*renta - for rent
* amigo - friend (male)
* amiga - (friend female)
* bien trabajo - good job
That's it for todays post! Love you all...........
