Seven months of spanish learning has led to this list...
1. guapa(o)- (usually meaning handsome) here in Paraguay it means well rounded or skilled. example- Que guapa que sos!
2. de repente- suddenly or next
3. alegeria- joy, happiness
4. poder- control, power, authority, strength (great discription of God)
5. ya- already, now
6. todavia- still, yet, even
7. ¡Por supuesto!- Of course!
8. ¡Asi no!- This no! (first phrase I leared at the Guarderia)
9. verguenza- embarrassment (I like how the word sounds like its deffinition!)
10. ¡No puede ser!- It can´t be! (great phrase when talking to kids. Keeps the excited energy going :)
Any way you can download all your spansih skills to my brain when we come to visit?? It will be wonderful to have a competent translator showing us around!
