I`ll tell you about some of my new Spanish words!This morning, I went to the hospital to see if Ken needed anything. He was well and only wanted help calling his hotel to make sure he could keep his room for a few more days. He was supposed to fly home today but will only be able to fly on Saturday, at the earliest. The low air pressure in the airplane could be a problem. Happily, he was released from hospital this afternoon and he's ok.
Did I mention that I'm taking Spanish classes at the same school
where I volunteer? I am, two mornings per week. I like it. Sometimes the teacher covers things I already know, which is a great review. But more often, I'm learning lots of new stuff. Which is great! The challenge will be retaining the new words and finding them in my brain when I need to. It's a work in progress. This week, I learned some useful and fun words, "descosedor" and "oso de peluche".
"Coser" means to sew. "Descosedor" means stitch ripper. A little tool a person can use to cut/undo stitches if they got sewn in the wrong place. At h
ome, I bought a bikini top I wanted to modify. This week, I went to a "sastre", tailor and borrowed a "descosedor" to help me with the task. The sastre was really kind about helping me find the word and my little project! "Oso de peluche" means stuffed bear. As in the cute stuffed bear my English teac
her`s four year old son had peeking out of his pocket today. "Oso" means bear. "Peluche" means plush/furry fabric. Now you know too!Pictures
#1 and 2 - dresses in a shop that a sastre might have made for carnaval
#3 - the fun decor in La Chosa, a fun restaurant
#4 - the nativity scene at La Chosa. The whole thing is a total of about 30 feet long!
