Claro que la compré - of course I bought it 😁 Completa falta de autocontrol - complete lack of “shelf-control” • Mis libros necesitan un lugar donde viajar... My books need a place to travel... • ¿Te ha pasado que no puedes evitar comprar algo? - Has it happened to you that you can’t help yourself and you buy something?

Me encantan los girasoles pero cuando los veo no puedo evitar pensar que el verano ya va a terminar... I love sunflowers but when I see them I can’t help but think that summer is coming to an end. • ¿Qué te hace tener sentimientos encontrados? What makes you have mixed feelings?

Yes, there is a book of lists 😃 • First = primero/primera/primer • Jorge fue el PRIMERO en llegar. - Jorge was the first to arrive. • Esta es mi PRIMERA carta - This is my first letter. • Este es el PRIMER libro de listas que he visto - This is the first book of lists I’ve seen. Hope you are enjoying your primer día del año 😉 Hasta pronto, Debbie #spanishtidbists #speakspanish #learnspanish #funwithspanish #lovelanguage #lovelists #learn #practice #lovebooks https://www.instagram.com/p/BsGPTOdDRhd/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1d1tqojgy5e27

No importa, seguiré el camino :) - It doesn’t matter I’ll follow the road 😁. • Clean snow always makes me think of movies where there is no slushy roads ever! Now, de regreso a la realidad, back to reality.

A simple and useful question. Another version can be ¿de verdad? Both can be used as questions and as answers. Here's an example: Pedro: Jackie, se va a ir a vivir a Groenlandia. - Jackie is going to move to Greenland. Juan: ¿en serio? ¡No sabía! - Really? I did not know! Pedro: sí, en serio, se va el próximo verano. Really, she leaves next year. You can have that same dialogue using "de verdad" instead of "en serio". Hope you have a great week.

It seems to be that every city has its very specific morning question. Toronto, due to its lovely winter weather begs the question how is the weather going to be like today? When I lived in Mexico City we would ask: ¿Cómo está el tráfico hoy? How is traffic like today? Or ¿hay alguna manifestación hoy? Is there a demonstration today? Donde tú vives, ¿qué es lo que preguntas en la mañana? Where you live, what is it that you ask in the morning? Would be great if you could say it in Spanish, give it a try. Don't worry if it's not perfect 😉 Hasta pronto Debbie #spanishtidbists #speakspanish #spanish #toronto #winter #weather #morningquestions

Up to snow good :) • ¿Portarse bien o portarse mal? - To behave or to misbehave? That is the question... 😃 • Found this winter hat @chaptersindigo 💕 Hasta pronto, Debbie #spanishtidbists #speakspanish #learnspanish #lovelanguage #funwithspanish #learn #practice #uptonogood https://www.instagram.com/p/BrVEk_3j6Tb/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=nve5h16gi2ga

One of the best BBQ places I’ve ever been to @adamsonbarbecue • To make a line/queue = hacer una fila. Por favor hagan una fila de este lado - Please make a line on this side. • To line up = ponerse en la cola/línea., hacer una cola, colocarse en la fila. (Yes, cola also means tail) • Now, in Mexico and other Latinamerican countries we use the verb FORMARSE to line up: Me voy a formar a las 10:30 en Adamson porque abren a las 11:00 - I am going to line up at Adamson at 10:30 because they open at 11:00. • ¿Te has formado por mucho tiempo por algo que te gusta? - Have you lined up for a long time for something you like?

Hasta pronto,

Debbie
