Initially, my primary impetus for studying Spanish was born of equal parts necessity and practicality. However, a fortuitous event occurred somewhere along this amazing journey. A remarkable and vibrant culture unraveled itself before me like the budding of a tender flower on a warm summer night. I have come to realize that language acquisition not only entails the learning process itself, but more critically, the embrace of a culture, its people, its traditions, and so much more. A simple "thank you" to all my friends seems so woefully inadequate, but that is precisely the overwhelming sentiment that I feel. So to my dear friends and tutors, both current and past, I extend a heartfelt thank you, and to those whom I have yet to meet, a friendliest welcome. ************************************************************************** Al principio, la principal motivación para estudiar español fue por la necesidad y sentido práctico. No obstante, un evento inesperado ocurrió en algún punto a lo largo de este viaje asombroso. Una brillante e impresionante cultura se manifestó ante mí como el florecimiento de una tierna flor en una cálida noche de verano. Descubrí entonces que el proceso de aprendizaje de una nueva lengua no basta solo con su estudio, sino también involucra un acercamiento a la cultura, su gente, sus tradiciones, y mucho más. Un simple “gracias” a todos mis amigos no es suficiente, pero justamente ese es el sentimiento de agradecimiento que tengo. Por lo tanto, a todos mis queridos amigos, tutores actuales y pasados, les agradezco infinitamente, y a aquellos que encontraré, la bienvenida más cordial. (Muchísimas gracias a mis queridos amigos, Fernando y Marco, por toda su ayuda con la traducción.)

    Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs: Part 2.

    Part 2.

    But when Snow White turned was seventeen years old, the evil stepmom again asked her magic mirror again the same question, but this time, the and this reply was different: "My Queen, it's true that you are full of beauty that's true beautiful , but your young stepdaughter, The Princess Snow White, is a thousand times more beautiful than you and you can never change that."


    The jealous Queen ordered a hunter to kill Snow White in the dark forest and to be sure demanded that he will deliver the heart of the girl (girl's heart) to the evil Queen the heart of the girl. The hunter couldn't accomplish the task and instead gave the heart of a young warthog to the evil Queen the heart of a young warthog.

    Snow White in the woods found a house in the woods that belonged to seven dwarfs.

    To be continued....

    My city.

    <strike>That</strike> This is what I think about my city. I live in Murcia, I'm pretty sure you don't know where is it and that's why I'm here, to explain it to you! Murcia is the 7th biggest city in Spain, and its food is very well-known. So if you come, you will enjoy trying <strike>its</strike> different types of food. People sometimes say<strike>s</strike> that people from Murcia are very rude, but that is a lie. I think we are a very charming people and once you know us, you will have a friend forever.

    I know you are actually looking forward to coming to Murcia, but I warn you: Don't come in Summer!! The weather is terribly hot and <strike>is</strike> unbereable (unbearable). Normally in July or August, it could be between <strike>among</strike> 35-40ºC, so you can imagine what a hell<strike> is</strike> that is. Despite the heat <strike>hot</strike>, at night you can find some good pubs to have a beer or whatever, but if I have to choose, I would <strike>will</strike> choose to come in Spring.

    See you friends!!

    Cuando el aliento se convierte en aire Acabo de leer When Breath Becomes Air, una memoria escrito por el talentoso neurocirujano Paul Kalanithi. ¿Qué significa este título, cuando el aliento se convierte en aire? El escritor llevó cuatro años estudiando medicina en la Universidad de Yale. Luego comenzó su entrenamiento médico de siete años en neurocirugía, una especialidad considerada por muchos como una de las especialidades más difíciles y exigentes. Inmediatamente antes de comenzar su último año de formación, empezó a experimentar un dolor insoportable de la espalda, tos incesante, sudores nocturnos, pérdida de peso, síntomas muy sugestivos de cáncer. Como era de esperar, dentro de varios meses se le diagnosticó con cáncer, y no sólo de cualquier cáncer, sino cáncer de pulmón terminal a pesar de que nunca había fumado. Después de diez y tantos años de sangre, sudor y sacrificios, en la cumbre de su entrenamiento, justo antes de iniciar una carrera prometedora, el doctor Kalanithi recibió lo que fue esencialmente una sentencia de muerte. Así de simple, la vida que había imaginado con su esposa, un futuro lleno de potencial, colapsó como una estrella caído. Al igual que las llamas agonizantes de una hoguera, su vida de repente parecía estar extinguiendo. ¿Cómo se puede enfrentarse a un golpe tan injusto? ¿Llorar? ¿Gritar? ¿Permanecer en un estado de negación? El doctor Kalanithi aceptó la noticia sin quejarse. Nunca se rindió y siguió luchando por su vida, día tras día, hasta su último aliento, cuando el aliento se convirtió en aire, es decir, la respiración ya no es tuyo sino ha regresado a la naturaleza.

    Mi primera experiencia de la quinceañera Uno de mis compañeros de trabajo que es mexicana me invitó a la quinceañera de su hermana menor. Fue mi primera vez asistir a esta hermosa celebración que tuvo meses para prepararse. La tradición honra el quince cumpleaños de la niña y significa su entrada a la edad adulta. La fiesta se llevó a cabo en una iglesia católica en la que la quinceañera entró al edificio con sus padres, padrinos, y “corte de honor” por lo cual se consistieron en sus amigas y amigos, llamado “dames” y “chambelanes,” respectivamente. Durante la ceremonia, los padrinos le regalaron a la niña un collar o algo así y una tiara. Después de la misa, hubo una gran recepción en la sala de banquetes. Ante todo, la niña inició el primer baile con su padre y luego con su familia inmediata. Un ritual que me fascinó es “el cambio de zapatos” en el que el padre le presentó a la quinceañera sus primeros zapatos de tacón altos. Me agrada muchísimo esta tradición encantadora. Mis amigos, favor de decirme, ¿por qué no hay una celebración como la quinceañera para los niños? ¿Cuáles son los rituales únicos de la quinceañera en su país?

    While I’m having my breakfast, I’m reading in a newspaper an article about present-day nowaday’s piracy in the Indian Ocean. This article discusses the inadequate tells how brief is the training of the security guards that certain security companies provide to security guards. As it seems, in the case of Spain, is enough a crash courses of for about 10-12 hours are deemed sufficient, and in some cases, a psycho-technical exam is not even necessary to pass the class.  a psycho-technical exam. Keeping in mind that these people are going to spend about eight months embarked on a journey in a ship, what that can easily become a highly stressful stressing environment, with assault guns within reach; perhaps that’s not the best way to train them. 

    Another fact that catches my attention mind is how different is the real-life piracy is from that portrayed in of the movies, or vice versa. How do we adore sweet the characters like the famous Jack Sparrow, and how has the vast majority of our children have dreamt of becoming to be a pirate, whilst we us the parents laugh and play with them? Can you imagine your child telling you, "Hey daddy! Get me an assault riffle, I want to be a drug trafficker narco! Or a a terrorist!"?  "Oh sweetiey, those are bad things! Don’t you prefer to be a pirate?"

    Interesting topic and an excellent prose!

    Recomendación del libro para estudiantes de inglés De vez en cuando, se lee un libro tan poderoso que le deja al lector una impresión duradera. Este es el caso del libro titulado, “Where the Red Fern Grows”, escrito por Wilson Rawls. La historia tiene lugar en las montañas de Ozark en el estado de Oklahoma. El protagonista, Billy, cuyo familia es pobre, debe trabajar duro para ahorrar suficiente dinero para comprar un par de sabuesos. Billy les entrena para convertirse en cazadores preciados y les entra en el concurso anual de casaría. Por último, los sabuesos gana el gran premio de $300, sin embargo, hay un costoso precio y sacrificio a pagar. Al final, el lector encontrará la razón por la cual los helechos, que normalmente son verdes, están rojos. Según una leyenda de americano nativo, sólo los ángeles pueden plantar helechos rojos. ¿Qué significa estos helechos rojos? Tiene que leerlo para descubrir la respuesta. La mayoría de los estudiantes en la escuela primaria en los Estados Unidos están obligada a leer este libro. Es una lectura fácil pero llena de amistad, lealtad, sacrificio, y sobre todo, esperanza. ¡Feliz lectura!
