PRE-INTERMEDIATE COURSE, 2023, CLASS 1

 Class 1 – 23/01/23

 

We began by talking about New Year’s Resolutions from p.3

Propósitos del año nuevo – NY resolutions

Me siento estancado – I feel stuck

Pretendo beber – I intend to drink

FALSO AMIGO – “pretender” NEVER means “pretend”

Me hace mucha ilusión – it makes me excited, it gives me hope

FALSO AMIGO – “ilusión” here does not mean “illusion”

We answered some questions about new year resolutions

¿Qué propósitos hiciste en el pasado que no cumpliste? – what resolutions did you make in the past that you didn´t stick to.

Cumpir – to complete, to obey, to follow through with, to follow

We made a list of expressions that we use to talk about intentions

Pretendo hacer

Tengo la intención de hacer

Voy a hacer

Haré (simple future)

Planeo hacer

Mi intención es hacer

 

Some words that came up during our discussions…

La esperanza – hope

Es estresante – it is stressful

Quizás – maybe

Sano / saludable – healthy

Perder el tiempo – to waste time
