Apparently you recorded this podcast before the A/H1N1 influenza outbreak of last week.

What sort of alcohol do you drink on friday just before you record "Qué Pasa" ? From here, I can ear the sticky tongues. ;o)

Would it be less fun without alcohol ?

JP, once again that was a great lesson.

However, I want to correct one mistake.

The french equivalent of "here" is "ici".

The french equivalent of "there" is "là".

The french equivalent of "here and there" is "ici et là".

Actually that's quite easy.

What a musical performance ! Leonardo's "spicy" voice really stood apart. ;o) But, who's Christophe the fourth voice of this DelTT ? Was it a FrenchPod teaser ?

Liliana, I know what Del Taco al Tango means and want to cover but I've got a typical french tendency to see pun everywhere.

Léo, Del Taco al Tango sounds also like a gentle spoonerism with Taco-Bell (yuk!). ;)

That was a great show this week ! Bravo ! In France, we almost have the same traditions as Latinos but it's mixed with american and east-european traditions. We have Santa Claus (aka Père Noël) dressed in red, Saint Nicolas dressed in green and the three kings (aka Rois mages). Ps: Liliana the crib is called "crèche" not ...

What about the aboriginal sensitivity ?

On the first page of the SpanishSense website I see some nice pictures but there's 2 pictures of Pre-Columbian Civilizations.
On the left that's an Aztec (or Maya) pyramid.
Or the right that's the Inca representation of the god Sun.
The Aztec, Maya and Inca are Pre-Columbian civilizations and don't have any links with spanish civilization except for the extinction part.
So why SpanishSense uses the image of this civilizations to promote the Spanish language ? The descendants of the Aztec, Maya and Inca civilizations don't even speak spanish as a first language.
With the high level of sensitivity about this subject amongst the aboriginal South americans, that could be taken as an insult.
