Language 2

In my intensive language class, I have picked up on a lot of useful phrases, especially the parts of speech that come naturally to native speakers. For example, I know how to say "I woke up". But I have never learned how to say "I just woke up". Here's how it goes:

acabo de + infinitive.

For example- acabo de levantar. I just got up. 

Surprisingly enough, I have learned a lot of slang and cultural swear words in this course. Something I found interesting is that there are multiple ways to describe someone as "drunk". For example, you can say someone is "borracho", but you can also say that they are "ciego". Similar to English, Spanish uses a lot of slang to describe common words.
