haha, no remembro how to say 11
"¡Cúrame, mamacita! "
I would translate as:
"heal me, mummy"
...I think I must be missing something because that and "go ahead flirting" aren't anywhere near R rated in my book. What have I missed?
this lesson works good together with the "coquetear" lesson jaja...
here is a cheesy one ...
El viento besa el barco
el barco besa el mar
y a mi me gustaria ser brisa
para tus labios poder besar
¿Están piropos sólo por las mujeres? A mi me creería que los hombres gustarían oirlos también.
¿Cómo se llama ¨hottie¨ en español por un hombre?
Jodibean, para decir "hottie" en español es Shep! Si, no Shep, entonces es Jota Pito (JP). Estoy bromeando, por supuesto. Tenga una buena noche!
Jodibean
Just listened to Smells Good in which how to call someone a hottie is discussed.
Hola,
I'm still rather new at this, having only been involved for a couple of weeks but I really like the way things are structured. I have also noticed I can't get some of the .pdf copies of the dialogs and it would be good to know how to get some of the audio files into my podcast area.
Muchas gracias, Bob
Welcome Bob!
Re getting the audio files as podcasts, under the lesson picture you can "bookmark" the lesson. Then cut and paste the RSS Lesson Feed (on the right hand side of the "me" section) to your ipod or wherever.
Hope that helps.
bobgs,
Also just want to mention that there are no PDF's for the Del Taco al Tangos since they are not lessons.
By the way, if you have any other trouble with downloads etc, just go to "contact us" located at the bottom of the page and the staff will respond to your needs.
Yo soy picante mar concha almeja! wow I'm in middle school and I can speak a lot of spanish! ha ha ha ha ha ha ha lol Tu eres gordo y no guapo y no bonita. Yo quierre dinero y oro y platear. I like pie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why cant i ctrl `e oh this site with tons of spanish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hola kikuyu y rachaelt,
Thanks so much for your inputs. Like I said, I'm slowly learning my way around here and these kind of inputs really help. Me gusto mucho "Del Taco al Tango y La Clave" and I'm sure the more time I spend here, the easier it will be to get around. I won't hesitate in the future to use all the contacts, they appear to work really well.
I gotta go. I just saw a couple of items I have some experience with: El Salvador y Pedro Almodovar.
Muchas gracias para todos y hasta la proxima, just bob
¡Esa fue un lección muy gracioso! The spanish piropos are clearly superior to the US pick-up lines, haha. Though, I could never say either with a straight face, I'm just not built that way. :D
evandar
U can say piropos with a straight face, you need to practice that´s all...jejeje try it! U might be surprised by the outcome.
El truco es no hablar con una cara seria, pero sólo hablar la verdad y creer lo que se dice. je je ;)
Maybe it's because I'm Norwegian, Liliana, we tend to be a bit stiff and don't let our guard down too easily. ;)
Quizás es porque soy noruego, Liliana. Somos un poco inhibidos y......aargh, at least I tried. ^^
Evandar
¿Eres noruego? Tengo dos amigas mexicanas que están casadas con noruegos y son muy abiertos !!! jajajaja
Pero tienes razón, las culturas son muy diferentes, try it out and see how it feels.
evandar
I may very well be wrong, but i suspect poco inhibidos could be understood as "uninhibited" ie only inhibited a little, rather than the understatement you were going for.
My attempt would be:
we tend solemos to be ser somewhat algo shy/inhibited cohibidos and we dont lower the/our guard y no bajamos la guardia readily con facilidad
nice to see people having a go, i can attest that it gets easier every time.
russ
suene como una cita del cuchicheador de perros :-)
Evandar
je je Sí, quizas! Que gracioso! Es todo mismo. Creo que autentidad y para decir lo que se pensaba y lo que se sienta es más importante para éxito.
Para mi, cuando yo crea lo que yo diga (o escriba je je) aun si se parece "corny" o tan atrevido, entonces es real y se recibe a veces un beso o a veces cachetada. je je
Me encanta los piropos....parecen una manera buena y agradable para se expresa. Pero a mi, la verdad es la clave, nunca doy los piropos lo que no creo.
tienes rázon
It's the reserved Scandinavians, Lili.
There is a joke about the Swede. . .
¿Has oído sobre del sueco, que amaba a su esposa tanto más , que casi se decía esto?
on the way into town, I got to thinking about that last line, and wondered if que casi se lo decia a ella. might be better.
donperigo y evander,
un poco + adjective: a little bit [x]
poco + adj: not [x]
muy bien, gracias
Hey Anna8...cool! that's a good bit of info! Gracias!
gracias anna8
De nada, DP y Russ!
Sorry, folks. I did post a reply yesterday to a couple of you, but somehow it is gone in the ether. I don't feel like doing a deja-vu, so I'll just say thanks for the help, and I hope this "disappearing post"-phenomenon is a one-time thing. It could possibly be an error on my part too, we'll never know.
how come you don't have any transcripts for these Podcasts ? transcripts help me learn !
Hi
Sometimes this type of show does not have transcripts because some of the users listen to the lessons and make them themselves.
We encourage students to try their best and practice their hearing comprehension.
oh, Lili, is there a transcript group, or are individual transcripts posted on the site anywhere?
The English Pyrope [magnesium aluminium garnet] also comes from the Latin pyropus which was a mixture of gold bronze [bronze being mostly copper], but that comes from the Greek pyr...fire, and op...eye...so means "fire eyed" [jeje, yeah, passion].
first piropos sounded like:
"si la belleza fuera pecado, tu ya esterías en el infierno"
2nd piropos:
Si como lo mueves lo bates, que rico chocolate
jeje, me gustan
3rd piropos:
Aunque no te llames Alicia, vienes del país de las maravillas
4th piropos:
En esta cola si me formo
5th piropos:
tu con esas curvas, y yo sin frenos
Loved the cultural insight from 7:30 onwards, focussing on the beauty, and Lili's car analogy, jeje..muy bien.
