There's always something to learn or to try, sometimes you need to say a phrase in Spanish, but you don't know how to say it, don't worry, It's not a problem any more, if your are a gringo and you don't know how to speak Spanish, the Smart Gringo Class might be helpful in your learning process.
For instance, we took from it some common phrases, just try it and you'll see the difference and how easy it is to speak Spanish.
Boy a c n r = Voy a cenar = I'm gonna have dinner
N L C John = en el sillon = on the armchair
Be a hope and son = viejo panzon = fat old man
Who and see to seek ago = Juancito se cago = Little John shit all over himself.

My boyfriend and I recently decided we want to take language lessons and visit a foreign country together. The idea sounded fantastic and exotic when we thought it up, but neither one of us has enough time to make it to the drycleaners, let alone a language class.
Thank goodness for the the CoffeeBreak Spanish method.

On Wednesday night when I got home from work my sister was home and my dad was in the kitchen preparing a Spanish tapas feast! I've been craving Spanish food for some time now and I threw down my stuff, slapped on my apron, and helped him finish up the meal. We had tortilla, roasted peppers stuffed with marinated tuna roll ups, gambas al ajilo, patatas bravas, and pan frito con chorizo.

Today I was going for a Spanish Señorita Look. This is how all the classy chic girls dress in Spain. It's really about the scarf and earrings.

My friend Enrique sent me a picture the other day that he took specially for me. He was at the annual Mercado Medieval, Cordoba's answer to the Renaissance Faire and stumbled upon a beautiful bucket full of olives. Now I am craving real Andalucian olives...looks like I'll have to book a flight to Spain to satisfy my craving!
