Because I haven't completely forgotten about blogging, and I don't feel like writing anything long.
- I like that in Spanish "I'm sleepy" is tengo sueño = "I have dream."
- And that you don't blow your nose, you sonar = sound it.
- In Nicaragua, the answer to ¿Cómo estás? if positive, is often accompanied by gracias a Dios in a quick, casual way. "Bien, gracias a Dios, ¿y usted?"
- For a fun time, ask a Spanish-speaker to say "puppy," "poppy," and "poopy."
- And then get made fun of when you can't roll your R's.
- "To lend" and "to borrow" are the same, prestarse. This seems ridiculous to me, but I've been told that for Spanish-speakers learning English it's confusing that they're two separate notions.
- Adding --ito to the end of everything is fun.
- "Platypus" is ornitorrinco.
