INTERMEDIATE COURSE, 2023, CLASS 8

 

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.
