language post 3

It's amazing how much Spanish I have learned just from living with a family. They told me that they have been hosting students for about ten years, so they really understand that my purpose of coming here is to learn, and they help me a lot with vocabulary and understanding grammar.

yesterday, my host dad taught me two very practical things.  First, I learned a little bit about time. They always ask me when I'll be going somewhere: por la manana (in the morning) or por la tarde (in the afternoon.)

so he told me that por la manana= antes del almuerzo (before lunch)

por la tarde= despues del almuerzo

I also learned words for eating utensils, which is great for when I need an extra something as I'm setting the table:

spoon: cuchara

knife: cuchilla

fork: tenedor.
