Class 8
We talked
a little about our impressions of Latin America and the differences between
Latin America and Spain.
Latin America – América Latina or Latinoamérica
La pobreza – poverty
La riqueza – wealth
La dictadura – the dictatorship
La gente es amable – people are nice, friendly
La población indígena – the indigenous population
We watched a
video made by a Venezuelan woman in Spain
Una venezolana – a Venezualan woman
La pecosa –
the freckled one
Pecas –
freckles
We looked at
some ways of giving advice
No hables de la política – don’t talk about politics
No digas
“ahorita” – don’t say “ahorita” (this is a word used in Latin America to
express the idea of at some time in the future, which in Spain could be
misinterpreted as “right now”)
No llames a la gente fuera del horario laboral
For homework
we have to watch the rest of the video and pick out three more pieces of advice
for Latinos in Spain.
