The bridge from English to Spanish
I am delighted to be making a new series of Spanish lessons based on the Spanish we can learn from Duolingo. The lessons explain the grammar and show you how you can used what you are learning. Enjoy.
Please download your free PDF of my notes on the units of Spanish Duolingo about family, clothes and the present tense verbs (singular persons), as studied in September 2023.
The first lessons in the course are here.
Download the presentation and follow the video lesson to increase your vocabulario y confianza en español. Please let me know in the comments on YouTube if you feel you need English subtítulos. Gracias.

Cómo means how. ¿Cómo se dice table? ¿Cómo se escribe silla? Here’s una sorpresa. Como also means I eat. See what you can understand of this then. Como ensalada y como patatas pero no como carne. No como mucho por la mañana pero como más por la noche.
Otra sorpresa. Como also means like. No como me gusta, pero como similar. Like as in the word that many English speaking teenagers tend to overuse as a filler. Here are unos ejemplos.
Life es como a box of chocolates. Nunca sabes what you are going to get.
Algebra es como un divorcio. You look at your x and you wonder y.
Un buen humor es como a balloon. ¿Cómo? One prick can ruin it.
La vida es como riding una bicicleta. To keep your equilibrio you have to keep moving.
La inteligencia es como your underwear. Es importante to have it pero no es necesario to show it off.
Vida means life. Río means river. La vida es como un río. ¿Cómo? You decide!
