Spanish Favorites

We just finished up about 10 hours of intensive Spanish lessons this week.  I thought it would be fun to ask the family what their favorite Spanish words were from our first week of lessons.  Here goes:

SCOTT:  (No surprise to some of you)

• Queso=cheese
• Cerveza=beer

SYDNEY:

• Amarillo=yellow
• Ojos=eyes
• Azul=blue
• Hola=hello

LUCAS:

• Hola=hello
• Rojo=red
• Helado=ice cream

MELANIE:  I learned many new words and phrases this week.  Here goes:

• Menudo (not the band in the late 80´s)= often
• Mi boca se hace agua= my mouth is watering (not sure when I will use this) 
• Estoy feliz por ti=I am happy for you
• Bien por ti=good for you
• A lo mejor=perhaps
• Tomar puntes=to take notes (I took many this week)
• Hidratarte=hydrate (important word to know being in this high altitude)
• Saludable=healthy
• Mente=mind
• Maquillarse=to put on make up (which I don´t do much of here)
• Imponer=to impose

Next week we start a new round of lessons for the kids (only one hour each day) and then I am going to try to meet with a Spanish speaker that wants to learn English so we can work together to learn. I may return to formal Spanish classes again later this month.  Sadly, future and past tense verb conjugation is something I must have blocked out of my mind;  I need more work.
