Día 29

¡Hola, guapo!

 ¿Cómo va todo? I hope that, at this point, you feel a bit more competent in Spanish :-)

We' re talking about hobbies (pasatiempos or hobbies, we use the English word)

 This is an interesting video in which different people are interviewed in Málaga (Andalucía, in the southern part of Spain, but you know that :-D) about their hobbies in their spare time.

1st. Watch it until minute 2:45. Could you recognize some words?
2nd. Watch it again this part and take note of what you could listen/understand from each speaker (stop the video as many times as you need).
3rd. How would you ask "What do you do in your spare time?" in Spanish?

4th. Match the images of the different people in the video with their hobbies (check the e-mail you got on April 28th)

5th Create a sentence for each speaker talking about something they like.

Example for speaker 1:

A ella le gusta jugar al baloncesto or A ella le gusta el baloncesto (She likes playing basketball or She plays basketball)

 

How was it? I very much liked the accents of this people, most of them are from Andalucía (should sound a bit like Evelita) but still different among them. Let me know how it went! And do not forget to take down in your notebook those expressions and words you find meaningful/interesting (But I guess you might have already done this).




Lastly, for this penultimate day I wanted to bring something special! This is a song which was created as an anthem for Rafa Nadal

This is the chorus!

"Su nombre es Rafa Nadal, 
nosotros somos su gente
y cuando sale a ganar
lucha sin deternerse
no tiene rival.
Vamos, Rafa Nadal,
dale guerrero valiente
y que el metal de otra copa
lo besen tus dientes
una vez más"

"His name is Rafa Nadal,
 we are his people
and when he jumps into the court to win
he fights without stopping, 
he has no rival.
Come on, Rafa Nadal,
go ahead brave warrior
and that another trophy metal
got kissed by your teeth
once more"

Hope you liked it!

Buenas noches, guapo :-D
