¡Hola, gente! Me llamo Sia. Soy de California, pero mis padres son de las Filipinas. Vivo en Nueva York, en el Bronx. I love languages and learning about different cultures. I studied German for four years, including a year as an exchange student in Weingarten, Germany. And during my senior year of college, I studied Swahili. After college, I served two years with the Peace Corps in Botswana where I learned Setswana and some Afrikaans. Living in the Bronx, most of my neighbors are Dominican or Puerto Rican, which is why I’m really trying to improve my Spanish. But I’m also learning American Sign Language and would like to learn Filipino. And I’m always looking to improve my German and Swahili. I’m a communications professional for nonprofits with a background in journalism. I’d be happy to help you improve your English.

    Me he enamorado de Argentina debido a la parrilla. Mi esposa y yo fuimos a Buenos Aires de luna de miel. Comimos carne todo el tiempo! Comimos morcilla y bistec, y vimos a la gente bailando tango. La comida era deliciosa. Quiero volver.

    Mi comida favorita se llama sisig. Es un plato filipino que viene del mismo lugar de dónde es mi mamá. Sisig está hecho de orejas de cerdo finamente picadas. También tiene cebollas, chiles picantes, hígado de pollo, y jugo de calamansi. Calamansi es una pequeña fruta cítrica de filipinas. Sisig se sirve en un plato caliente chisporroteando. Tiene muchas texturas diferentes. El hígado es blando. Las orejas y las cebollas son crujientes. Es muy delicioso. 🐷🌶🍋

    Mi esposa Colleen planeó una fiesta sorpresa para mí para celebrar un trabajo nuevo. Invitó nuestros amigos al Parque Central, pero no me dijo. Creí que sólo seríamos ella y yo. Me sorprendió u no ver a todos mis amigos allí. Fue algo muy dulce para ella hacer.

    These are Roman numerals representing ordinal numbers (first, second, third, etc). Louis XVI is pronounced as “Louis the sixteenth.” John XX is pronounced as “John the twentieth.” In Roman numerals, I = 1, V = 5, and X = 10. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_numerals[Image]

    I bake gingerbread cookies, make salads, and cook meat. I get a Christmas tree and make it beautiful and shiny.

    If you wanted to capture the idea that you revived something from memory, I would say, "I just remembered..." or "I am now remembering..." Similarly, you could use recall and recollect in the same way, although I wouldn't say "I just recollected." (It's technically right, but doesn't sound natural.) In terms of formality, recall and recollect sound more formal. Remember can be used casually or in formal settings.

    Here in Mexico, soccer is the most popular sport. Many people train for it. It is common to see a soccer field in the neighbourhood.

    I think here, strike means attack. I think the author is comparing the mother to a snake with a sharp tongue. You can describe a snake as striking its prey, just as this sharp-tongued mother may strike.

    Latinx. Latine. Latina/o. Latin@. ¿Cuáles son sus opiniones sobre este tema? Creo que es importante abordar nuestros sesgos de géneros el lenguaje. Pero es también importante que el lenguaje es natural y fluido. En inglés, recientemente hemos llegado a aceptar “they” como un pronombre neutral de género. El significado de “they” es ellos o ellas, pero ahora, podemos usarlo para decir él o ella. También mucha gente usa “partner” para referirse a su novio o novia porque es neutral de género. ¿Cómo se hace esto en español?
