I thought it would be a good time to talk about METAS (Goals).
•
Mi META es viajar a Italia pudiendo hablar italiano. My GOAL is to travel to Italy being able to speak Italian
•
META can mean, GOAL - as in something that you want to achieve.
Por ejemplo: mis METAS para este año son… my GOALS for this year are…
•
OR
•
META can mean FINISH LINE.
Por ejemplo: ¿dónde está la META? Where is the FINISH LINE?
•
AND
•
META (also known as PORTERÍA) in Spanish is also the GOAL in game or match.
Por ejemplo: la pelota entró a la META - the ball went into the GOAL.
•
¿Tienes metas nuevas para este años? Do you have new goals for this year?
Hasta pronto,
Debbie

This came up in one of my classes the other day…
It all boils down to what kind of party you are talking about:
El PARTIDO político - The political PARTY.
La FIESTA de Juan - Juan’s PARTY.
•
On a side note: Partido can also mean, game or match, por ejemplo:
El PARTIDO empieza a las cuatro - the GAME/MATCH starts at 4:00.
Hope it helps, hasta pronto

Hay que practicar.
Have you heard this before?
Hay que estudiar, hay que esperar, hay que aprender…
•
Hay que + infinitive is used for it is necessary or for one must…
•
So, HAY QUE PRACTICAR =
It is necessary to practice or one must practice.
•
I am SO happy that I got my book from @carolettering so I can keep on practicing my letters!
•
Can you think of an example to practice?
Hasta pronto,
Debbie

What helps you concentrate? What helps you focus better when you are learning or studying?
•
For me it varies:
Algunas veces camino mientras escucho mi audio. - sometimes I walk as I listen to my audio.
Algunas veces coloreo - sometimes I colour.
•
¿Tú tienes algo que te ayude?
Do you have something that helps you?
Hasta pronto,
Debbie
