language: death

Last weekend, my "padres" brother passed away. From talking to them, I learned a lot of new vocabulary about funerals and death.

funeral- entierro
cremate- incinerar
tomb- tumba
sympathy- compasión
wake- velatorio

Las Fallas was also this weekend, a celebration with a lot of fireworks. Here are some words I learned from the festival:

fireworks- fuegos artificiales
sparkler- bengala
sunflower seeds- girasol
