Anyhow, back to normality, and this time with a "cover" of LOL's 1999 by the excellently-named Querido Memo ... I hope you're going to look up what "memo" means, if you don't know already.
[ Well, I suppose they do have some excuse !]

I was talking on the phone to my daughter a few days ago ...and we got on to the subject of indexes. I put the view that ALL book should have indexes ... The Waste Land, Five Catch Syphilis during the Holidays, Trampa 22, 1984 ... and not just books ... why not songs, and limericks, advertisements, the Radio Times .... why not ? So, following that theme, here's an index .... but what is it an index of / for ?? aire 5, 15,17 ambigüedad 13 barco 14 blanco 2, 8 burbuja 11 comodidad 11 final 3 historia 2, 8 lugar 10 manos 12 mundo 6,16 nudo 12 parte 6,16 pinturas 2, 8 principio 3 sillón 1, 7 viaje 10 vez 24 So .... what did you make of that ? After a totally irrelevant picture ..... and a song of course, as usual ..... a giant clue ... Here's today's music ... a Querido Memo cover of ... "Las Vacas"... Well, the picture and the song and the big print are all merely cunning ploys to stop you spotting the answer to today's task too soon ...but it's coming up now so ...get ready to be either chuffed or downcast ....... However much you hear that song, it's always bloody gorgeous.
I expect we'll be having more of those index problems for you. Here's a brilliant game for all the family. Well, I think so ... it's one of those things that I think I invented, but I bet I didn't. You show them the title of a Spanish book that originally was in English. The victims ( sorry, keen participants) try to come up with that original English title .. or as close as they can. Let's have a few for you to try ... well, ten actually ...and they're a right old mixture for all ages and tastes ... good luck to all of you Well, I hope you found that interesting. Competitive types can come up with scoring systems ... lat's say, a point for every word of the real title that you get right, and half a point off you every word you get wrong ... that sort of thing. And now ... here's a fine words video of an LOL song, Domingo Astromantico .. I thinjk you'll like it ... |
AuthorI'm just somebody learning Spanish like most of you reading this I suppose. This blog is mostly what I'm thinking about as I go along. There is some serious stuff on here, grammar, vocabulary etc, but there is also a lot of mucking about, peculiar insights and lots of homework and games and puzzles, and how could I forget, music. Lots of music..Whatever I do, I hope it will all be Terrific For Your Spanish! Archives
