I thought my fellow coffee lovers might like to know some useful vocabulary! For me, I learned it in order to work as a barista, but it’s still important to know as a customer too. All vocabulary includes necessary usage notes/gender. Native speakers please feel free to correct/add on to this.

– vocabulario

para describir el café (to describe coffee)

el café… (coffee…)

amargo: bitter americano: American/Americano (referring to coffee that is half coffee concentrate and half water for a milder taste/caffeination–not really in reference to coffee that comes from America) caliente: hot con crema: with cream con espuma: with foam con hielo: with ice con leche: with milk  con miel: with honey dulce: sweet frío: cold (referring to cold brew in the case of my job–iced coffee is not necessarily cold brew in English)

los sabores (flavors)

la avellana: hazelnut la canela: cinnamon el caramelo: caramel la cereza negra: black cherry el chocolate: chocolate la vainilla: vanilla

para describir la leche (to describe milk)

la leche… (milk…)

de almendra: almond de coco: coconut de soya: soy desnatada: skim entera: whole semidesnatada: reduced fat 

los tamaños (sizes)

pequeño/a: small mediano/a: medium grande: large

otras cosas (other things)

el aroma: smell la cafeína: caffeine el capuchino: cappuccino  la crema batida: whipped cream el expreso, el café exprés: espresso

para pagar (in order to pay)

el dolar: dollar el cambio: change el centavo: cent costar (o to ue stem change): to cost la moneda: coin pagar: to pay

– frases

** Note that, depending on situation and country, it varies as to whether you’d speak informally or formally in a coffee shop to a barista or customer. I tend to speak formally with adults and informally with children/young adults my age.

¿Cuánto/a cuesta? How much does it cost?

¿Cuántos/as cuestan? How much do they cost?

Cuesta(n) … dólares y … centavos. It costs / They cost … dollars and … cents. Cuestan treinta y nueve dólares y noventa y nueve centavos. They cost $39.99 / thirty dollars and ninety nine cents.

Me gustaría un café caliente con crema.  I would like a hot coffee with cream.

¿Puedo ayudar(te/le/les)?  Can I help you?

¿(Tienes/Tiene) leche de soya? Do you have soy milk? Tu/Su cambio es … dólares y … centavos. Your change is … dollars and … cents.

—–

I hope this is helpful! Once again, if you notice any errors, please contact me. If you’re a native speaker have any regional/dialectual notes to add, please feel free to do so!

Hey! I love your blog it's beautiful. I was wondering if you could help me with something? I'm looking to set up a mobile navigation to my original posts on tumblr but have no idea how to do it. If you could explain how you have your original posts linked in your description on your mobile tumblr that'd be absolutely fantastic. Thank you so much!! 😊

this has to be done on desktop,not mobile tumblr.

this link should explain everything.

(i’m writing this using mobile tumblr, meaning i had to type in the code myself, so if the link isn’t working, just let me know and i’ll fix it)

11 Questions Tag

Rules: answer 11 questions, make 11 of your own, and tag another 11 people.

Ahhh @meemtea thanks for the tag! I haven’t been very active so I really didn’t expect to get tagged in anything. It was a nice surprise :D

1. Favorite stationery object you have discovered in the last year?

I actually don’t have a lot of stationary, just black/blue pens, standard neon highlighters, and a few mildliners. I guess it would be the the midliners because I technically got them less than a year ago. I love how soft they look, especially doing cursive with them!

2. Go to comfort drink?

If I could always have any drink I wanted, it would be bubble tea or watermelon juice. But what I usually have on-hand is this Asian yogurt drink called ADGai.

3. Favorite book/book series of all time?

Jsdfojsdfijsfd this is so hard to choose. It’s actually been a while since I sat down and read books in a row thanks to fanfiction, but... The Young Elites (the first book in the series) by Marie Lu comes to mind. I couldn’t stop rereading it, and I love the premise, style, world, all of it :D

4. One country you would like to learn more about?

Hmm... China? I lowkey want to learn a lot more about the history and culture through the different dynasties. I’m not really focusing on it now though. Maybe I’ll drag myself to watch a historical c-drama sometime and I’ll be motivated to do some research...

5. Biggest non-study/school related goal you are (or want to start) working towards?

I don’t know if this is the biggest goal, but I’ve been writing a novel in many drafts and versions for about seven years now. I really love the world and characters -- they’ve grown up with me -- and it’s my goal over the next years or even decades to keep writing and eventually finish something that I’m really, really proud of :D

6. Weirdest social interaction?

Just two days ago I was at a hotel carrying a huge watermelon from the car to the hotel room on the 4th floor. This middle-aged guy, my sister, and I were waiting for the elevator and he joked that we should drop the watermelon from the hotel roof. I responded like, “That would be watermelon cruelty. I actually made an entire website dedicated to a watermelon rebellion to stop that,” which was supposed to be a joke but it sounded more like a threat, whoops. (I do have this website, by the way.) So I don’t know, that was pretty weird.

7. How do you feel about cheese?

I’ve never really liked cheese. Except for parmesan; parmesan is good.

8. Are your favorite season and most productive season the same?

My favorite season is spring, and my most productive season is fall, so nope!

9. Something you are the most proud of that you have accomplished so far (big or small)?

This is very small, but a few years ago, I taught my sister how to count “thirteen, fourteen, fifteen” instead of “firteen, firteen, fifteen.” That was cool! (And mind-numbing.)

10. If you could live in any fictional universe and make one major change to anything in it at any point: what universe would it be and what would you change?

AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER. HANDS DOWN. I THINK I WOULD SELL MY SOUL TO TRAVEL THERE. Ba Sing Se, Republic City in Korra era, the Northern Water Tribe, Kyoshi Island, Ember Island, any of the air nomad temples pre-war... I would actually sell my soul xD

11. Do you have any body modifications (tattoos, piercings, etc.) if so what and why? If not, would you get/do you want any?

I don’t have any. Maybe I’ll get my ears pierced at some point? But I’ve never really wanted to wear earrings, so maybe not.

MY QUESTIONS (ahh, these were so good, I feel like I have to live up to them):

1. What was your favorite online/board game as a kid?

2. If you were given the power to jump back to any point in your life and relive those months and years, basically writing over the past but keeping your current memories as a guide, would you do it? What point would you jump back to if you could only use the power once? If you could use it whenever you wanted, how often would you use it, if at all?

3. Rain or shine?

4. Do you struggle with procrastination?

5. Have you ever been to a grandparent’s home? If so, describe the aesthetic there. If not, describe your ideal aesthetic for a home where you grow old.

6. What’s your opinion on mousepads?

7. If you could only take classes in one academic subject for the rest of this year, which would you choose? Math, science, history, language, or arts?

8. Are you an early bird or a night owl? What do you like to do in the small hours of the night/morning that’s not studying?

9. What’s the last song you listened to?

10. Are you afraid of rollercoasters or heights?

11. If you had a life span of 1000 years, most of it being in your prime, how would you spend it?

Hello, I’m Kyle :)

I did an intro when I first started this blog two months ago but I didn’t really know where I was heading with this. But now I have it figured out more I think it’s about time to make this blog really grow :)

I’m going to share a few things with you first about myself, First the basics

I’m 21 and I’m from England. I have completed School and college but I did not go to uni. It wasn’t right for me as I have really bad anxiety. But if my mental health improves I will consider it in the future. But for now I am happy to learn things at home at my own pace.

More things about me

- I am a massive nerd and bookworm. I have a whole wall in my room that is Harry Potter. Every pottermore sorting I did (I kept forgetting passwords) I’ve been sorted into Slytherin. My patronus is a King Cobra. I am also working on a Harry Potter Tattoo arm sleeve. I also love batman and at comic con I cosplay as batman characters or as a hogwart student. I own 8 wands (plus one that controls the TV)

- I am currently teaching myself Swedish because my brother lives out there with his Swedish girlfriend and I go to visit them twice a year

- I dye my hair blue often (its currently brown because i recently had a haircut) I have tried every colour but blue suits me the best :)

- I have a German Shepard called Alfie and he is my best friend

- I am currently writing my own book series but I have taken a break from it to work on a collection of poetry. 

- I work much better at night than I do during any other part of the day

I started this blog to help me learn Swedish and also to motivate me to write more. It’s actually helping loads and I feel like I accomplish something every time I’m on here. 

I plan to post

- Free Printables - Swedish word help - Photos of my own work - Tips for mentally ill students - Self Care tips - Study tips - Motivational quotes etc

10 of my favourite studyblr/langblr blogs so far are: @emmastudies @studyblr @studying @rosestudiies @mossystudies @bliss-studies @uk-studying @studytherin @studying-zoo @langlangland

hi Gabriella! thanks for the follow (on my studyblr @aspired-to-succeed) welcome to the community and just out of curiosity how did you come up with your url?

Hey! Thank you so much. Well basically, I love the movie La La Land, and obviously languages also. I was kind of torn between ‘langlangland’ and 'langblrland’ but I thought seeing as 'langlangland’ popped up in my head first I’d go with that. :)
