María Isabel - song (Vamos a la playa, calienta el sol)

¡Vamos a la playa!

¡Las vacaciones ya están aquí!
Aquí tenéis una vieja canción popular española que habla de la playa y el sol...

The holidays are here!
Here you have an old Spanish popular song about the beach and the sun...

(Please, note just a few spelling mistakes in the lyrics: para ti (no accent), pom (no accent), fue (no accent)

It makes me think of ´las vacaciones´ and going home.
Pienso en las vacaciones y en mi querido mar Mediterráneo. Pronto voy a ir a la playa. Voy a pasear por la playa y voy a nadar. ¡Me encanta el mar!

¿Y vosotros? ¿Qué vais a hacer?
And you all? What are you going to do?

¡Felices vacaciones de verano!

Mi querido mar Mediterráneo

A fascination for different languages

A fascination for different languages

I often talk about the excitement of decoding a language for the first time and the pleasure of being able to understand the first few words in a foreign language; the great satisfaction of establishing that connection that can open up a whole new world.

Here's a linguist sharing her memories about her childhood dreams and her fascination for foreign languages:

Una película con la fantástica Maribel Verdú.

I haven´t watched it yet but last time I was in Spain I saw the trailer in the cinema and I thought it looked promising.

En esta película Maribel Verdú es una mujer cansada y desesperada que  un día consulta a un guru. Después de tomar un remedio muy potente empieza a actuar con determinación y autoconfianza, diciendo lo que piensa sin miedo.

Maribel Verdú is a tired and desperate woman who consults a guru. After taking a very powerful remedy she starts to act with determination and self confidence, saying what she thinks without fear.
