Lesson Introduction
Let's all raise a glass! In today's lesson we'll learn a very important skill in Spanish, whether you're in the Spanish-speaking world for business or for pleasure: how to toast! We'll learn the most common way to toast in the dialog; later in the lesson, Lili teaches us a toast that has a little bit of choreography involved. Here's to you!

Buenas noches a todos!
Acabé de registrarme aqui y me gustaría saber porque muchas de las actividades (audio) están parcialmente y otras totalmente en inglés.
In Hawaii we often say "okole maluna!" Hawaiian for "bottoms up!" But because there is much cultural diversity there, there are a lot more. Another very popular one is "Banzai!...Banzai!...Banzai!..." (Japanese), said each time from the gut while raising the hand with the drink in it, then finally taking the drink after the last "Banzai!".
More on the Japanese "salud," from http://jcch.com/japanese-traditions.asp:
What’s the significance of the Banzai toast?
The word banzai literally means “10,000 years” and is associated with long life. Banzai cheers are given at joyous occasions, banquets and gatherings, to express congratulations, encouragement, or celebration. Traditionally, the participants shout the word “banzai” three times in unison, raising their hands in the air each time.

Hola.
jodibean - Que interesante sobre "banzai." Gracias por la informacion.
A mi, hoy brindo a mi amiga porque tiene una entrevista el jueves.
Correcciones, por favor. Gracias.
Brindo al finde. En mi pais se dice "santé", o "à la tienne" si estamos dos, lo que significa "a la tuya (de salud), o "chin-chin" (eso no es frances). Soy belga. En España con amigos en Tenerife dicemos "salud", casi siempre.
Brindo a mis discos duros nuevos, voy a recogerlos más tarde en la oficina de correos. :) Of course, it's not going to be fun to backup, reinstall, download and whatnot all day. But it'll be great once I'm done with it. ¡Salud!
