Lesson Introduction
Nobody learns well on an empty stomach! We better get something to eat! This lesson will help you express your hunger, and maybe even help you suggest a restaurant. Whether you want Italian food (like the people in our dialog) or sushi, a bowl of cereal, whatever... this lesson will get you one step closer to your next meal. And that is a good thing.

"oy vay"
..is this a Spanish way of saying "ok"?
Hola Todos,
I like to eat spicy foods. I also like cooking and making food. My favorites to amke are Italian and Mexican...although I make up a lot on my own, with the flavors of each.
JP & Lili, I have a question on how to say something.
"We are going to eat dinner at La Carreta, do you want to come?
Is that "vamos a comer a..." o "Estamos yendo a comer..." o "Estamos comiendo a..." or algo mas? How would I say thhe entire question?
I have a lesson idea I thought might illustrate this for me/us. (since it a conversation from real life...I know I could use it)
Gracias

rok769, "We are going to eat dinner at La Carreta, do you want to come?" = Vamos a comer a la Carreta, quieres venir?
When taking about near future in Spanish we use = IR (conjugated) A An INFINITIVE VERB. Examples:
-Voy a comer.
-Va a ver una peli.
-¿Vas a cocinar?
- Vamos a limpiar el coche.
- Van a cenar.
And please, let us know which is your lesson idea so we can prepare it, ok?
Gracias Esti!! I'll send it to you

¡Tengo hambre! He escuchado ese diálogo tres veces para transcribirlo y ahora tengo mucho, pero mucho hambre. Pues también encontré un error: falta el acento en el "sí" en el PDF. :)
I'm hungry! I've listened to that dialogue for three times to transcribe it and now I'm very, but very hungry. Well, I also found an error: the accent is missing on the "sí" in the PDF. :)
Perdón, "mucha hambre", no "mucho hambre"! :)
in the dialogue, is it correct to also say
idea buena- instead of "buena idea"? or
italiano restaurante instead of restaurante italiano ?
is it adjective before noun or noun before adjective? I'm more familiar with adjective before noun like buena idea, nuevo trabajo,
Ewong,
The adjectives in Spanish usually go after the noun. Sometimes they are placed before the noun because it gives a different kind of emphasis.
una ciudad grande= a big city
una gran ciudad= a great city
Hola kikuyu,
Thanks, do you mean both orders can be used alternately?
I also encountered this in the lesson
Good Picture
" buena foto" - adjective before noun
"fotographa professional"- adjective after noun
corrections to PDF

JP said 'quiero' can be used for when you like something or love someone. Just how do you use 'quiero' in professing love?

Se dice:
me gustan los restaurantes chino y italiano.becuse iam a chinese i cant live without it
anikin,
te quiero == I love you
When do you use "me gusto", "me gusta", and "me gustan"? I see all three here.
wirani
gustar <> like.
gustar = gives pleasure to...
me gusta = it gives pleasure to me
me gustan = they give pleasure to me
me gusto = I ...probably shouldnt say "me gusto" ;-)
Wirani
You can say me gusto. Which means I like myself.
If you say ME GUSTA it means you like something.
After listening to this pa que sepas (about 7.50) I got the impression that "me gusto" was a euphemism for auto eroticism? have I misunderstood?
to say "vegetables for dinner.. again??"
"verduras por la cena.. de nuevo??"
not sure about "por" vs "para"
to say "again" in this case do I use "otra vez"?
gracias!
You can say.
Verduras para cenar de nuevo.
Otra vez verduras para cenar.
Se dice PARA cenar.

¡Hola spanishfilipino!

Thank you for everything = Gracias por todo.
Es que aquí hay niveles distintos, brusteh. Las lecciones "Advanced" y "Upper Intermediate", y también la mayoría de los "Del Taco al Tango" sí son completamente en español. En los podcasts "Intermediate", una persona habla inglés, la otra español. Y en los de "Newbie" y "Elementary" -- es decir las lecciones para principiantes -- sólo el diálogo es en español.
Gracias lucie-manette :-)
