Learning Spanish the Reyes way
Jasel bought a Spanish English phrase book for us today after we realized that we do not know any Spanish. It has nice phrases such as…
“no, bring me the pudding”
“I would like to order the Normandy Sole”
“to save him from possible danger from bulls onslaught?”
“not this model. I would like it in minature.”
“There are no warships”
“I advise you to move your jaw, as if you were chewing, so as to avoid trouble with your ear drum, and to button your life belt”
“Make us two bags for supper”
“I want a rather typical shirt, as a souvenir”
“You can go to the bathing establishment”
“Take a sedative when you go to bed”
“Ill take it. Itll be a nice souvenir. Whenever I hear this music I shall remember this lovely country”
“These are typical of your country, hand made or peasant work.”
“Do you want the mustache trimming?”
“Have you got anything of a slightly inferior quality, but good?”
“Do you want a single or double breasted coat?”
“They are called fire dart. They are used when they think the bull is not fierce enough”
“I prefer a continuous performance and a film with some local colour”
“Give me a little more sugar” (useful in all contexts)
“Give me a glass of anis”
“All healthy children are naughty”
and letter templates such as…
“Dear Friend, When your letter arrived yesterday, I had already left the hotel, and so was unable to keep your appointment. I trust you will forgive me, and believe in my continued friendship. Yours as ever…”
Excellent.
