The weather

I'm trying to learn Spanish. It's been 5 months and I still have difficulty creating a question. Aside from "Donde esta la bano?" (ignore the spelling), everything else starts off as"qu'est-ce que..., or Qui est... " really really messes me up! Now I'm incompetent in two languages!

One thing I can talk about is The Weather.

We learned that early in the course because all human beings are genetically programmed to talk about the weather when they have nothing else to say.

-esta lloviendo (it's raining)
-si, esta lloviendo mucho
-hace frio tambien ....

Weather is easy to talk about, because there really isn't much to say but to agree with the person unless they don't know the difference between sun and rain.

Speaking of Llueve. I've been here six years and this year I had to buy an umbrella. Llueve.

surveillance

what is this?


This is the stuff you see on The home shopping network at 3am in the morning.

Purpose? For aesthetics. To strengthen your cheek muscles, to give the appearance of a higher cheek bone.






1. Place the device in your mouth.
2. Try to close your mouth against the resistance of the spring.
3. Repeat....











Higher cheekbones eh? Riiight...........
