You Learn Something New Every Day

Buenas Dias! That is how you say "I'm hungry" in espagnol, the language they speak in Ecuador. I will be teaching you a word a day in espagnol from my bible and favorite book, "Spanish for the overweight businessman who wears ugly shirts" !!! This book has helpful illustrations, and I know if I keep reading the comics at the beginning of the chapter, I will be fluent in spanish by the end of the week. Another useful phrase I learned is "mucho gusto," which means "I am being kidnapped, please help me escape using your concealed weapon." This will be useful, because there is alot of crime in "La America de South" and I need to be able to ask for help. Interestingly enough, some words are the same in spanish and english, like sopa, the word for soap, and embarasada, the word for ectopic pregnancy.

I am so glad my vocabulary es grande!
