Hi I'm Becky. I'm from the UK and currently still live here, though I'm hoping to emigrate to Spain in the next few years with my husband and our two children. We are hoping to become proficient in Spanish (and spanish culture) so that we are able to find jobs before moving.

    Consejo kind of makes sense as you can 'council' someone in english to give them advice. Manzana is a good one! I've never thought why NY is called the big apple but obviously its not due to the spanish!

    Spanish words with different meanings!

    I am a complete beginner to spanish, but I am finding it really interesting discovering words which are the same but have more than one meaning.

    E.g. mañana - tomorrow or morning

    (estar) listo/a & (ser) listo/a - ready or clever

    What other spanish words are there like this?

    The interview

    The interview

    "Hi Peter, how are you?" the clerk asked.
    "Fine, thanks." the boy answered nervously.
    "Your CV is very interesting. Tell me about your professional experience."
    "I began to working for the Sun Company in 2008. I worked there for five years. I took part in several projects, one of which was a software implementation. It was my first time using web programming languages. Now, I'm working for the Power Energy Company and I'm programming with Visual Basic."
    "Have you ever participated in a project focused on Java?"
    "No, I haven't. However, I have in-depth knowledge of C++. So I don't think I would have any problem with a Java project."
    "What are your best skills?"
    "Well, I think I work conscienciously. I show commitment to the projects that I participate in.

    I work efficiently as part of a team and I keep calm in stressful situations." 

    "Are you willing to travel often?"
    "Yes, I like to go abroad! Also I can speak a little French."
    "Do you have experience with international projects?"
    "Not really. However, I worked at Barajas Airport in Madrid three years ago. There, I met people from China and Italy. It was an amazing experience!".
    "Peter, thank you very much for your time."
    "Thank you, it has been a pleasure!"

    The Hard Project 3 (Please, correct it)

    This was august, so I didn't want to miss the last of the warm days when I could swim. Some children wanted to swim too, but our tutor forbade it because the temperature of the water was against the rules. Then the boys called their parents and the boys' parents asked our tutor to let them swim. She agreed, but only under my supervision.


    A similar situation always repeated there, when our tutor scolded and even yelled at the children and at us. I understood her opinion, because I am a teacher as well and I realized that she worried about the kid's health and safety. However I understood and felt empathy towards my pupils, because it was summertime. They wanted to get enjoy summer and I psychologically was on vacation with them.
    One boy took a fishing rod to the island. He dreamed of catching fish there. We persuaded the tutor to fulfill his dream. She gave her permission. Heck, fishing line tangled in the reeds. We listened to the hour-long lecture about how he could have drowned. And of course, she was right.


    On our last day on the island I decided to swim quickly without boys, because we didn't have a lot of time and they needed to pick up their luggage. When I returned from the beach, I saw the seductive fire escape. I remembered our tutor and her useful advice, after that I had a mad desire to get in the room by the ladder. I knew that if she noticed me it would be awful, but I couldn't help it. I had to do it, and I risked it.
    I don't know my motive exactly. Maybe I didn't want to admit that I am a grown-up. Maybe I wanted to get delight and jubilation from my girls (and I got it), as proof that I am one of them. Maybe it was just summer rebellion against obedience and strict rules.
    Anyway I opened the window, the girls initially shouted, as it was u

    nexpected, then they recognized me and were even happier than I. I was here among them because of my deed. Thank heavens, our tutor missed my wrongdoing. I lied to them that I really didn't want the boys to know I had been swimming, because they would envy me, so I asked girls to keep this secret. They were glad, because children adore secrets.
