Once upon a time...

HAVE A NICE SUMMER!

TREASURE HUNT

My lovely workmate did some time ago a Treasure hunt... Now, with her permission I want to show it to you. It is about Henry VIII, Anne Boleyn and her sister Mary, who both were in love with the King.

If you want to know a bit of British history, this is a good chance!

Thanks Anabel!

THE STORY OF STUFF

CAN YOU SPOT THIS PLACE?

SPANGLISH

Read this text in Spanglish. What do you think about it?

Ábrela tú.

¿Por qué yo? Tú tienes las keys. Yo te las entregué a ti. Además, I left mine adentro.

¿Por qué las dejaste adentro?

Porque I knew you had yours.

¿Por qué dependes de mí?

Just open it, and make it fast.

An extract from the Spanglish novel Yo-Yo Boing!, by Giannina Braschi

Have a look at these dialogues in Spanglish.

Anita: "Hola, good morning, cómo estás?"

Mark: "Fine, y tú?"

Anita: "Bien también. Pero tuve problemas para estacionar mi auto esta mañana"

Mark: "Sí, I know. Siempre hay probemas parqueando in el área at this time."

Mike: "Entonce qué? te wacho en el party? Recuerda que es no cover."

Maria: "Of course, pasas a mi house por mi."

Mike: "Ok. Entonces ahí nos wachamos my darling"

Now, try to write a new dialogue using the table you've got here.

Nos wachamos soon!!
