I loved the descriptions in this week’s newsletter. Ensenada, Mexico sounds beautiful. I have never been there, but now, I just might put that on my list of places to visit. Horseback riding on the beach, a warm climate and someone special to share it with sounds like heaven.
Have any of you been to Ensenada, Mexico? If so, what did you like most?
For those of you who travel extensively, you are aware of the many variations of Spanish between countries. There can be many variations within a country as well. The best thing to remember is that, for the most part, the language is still the same. There are simply some words that have different meanings.
This is true for English speakers as well. People in the United States speak English as do those who live in England. We can understand each other and communicate; however, there are some word meaning differences.
It’s something to watch out for when traveling…if you are learning Spanish to travel, you’ll want to remember this tip.
Happy Friday All! I was just thinking back on my younger days in school, Spanish class, to be specific. It’s funny how certain memories just randomly pop in your head.
One day in class, my teacher turned on the tape player (if that doesn’t age me, I don’t know what will). He turned on La Bamba by Ritchie Valens. Of course, I knew every word because I would listen to it with my dad on a regular occasion. However, I never understood the meaning of the song, which he taught us that day.
Well, as a flashback, I turned on YouTube and listened to this song again. I hope you enjoy the song. I’ve included the lyrics below so you can sing along. I’ve also included the English translation so you too can understand the meaning of the song.
