<span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; color: #0e1f58; font-family: "Book Antiqua", serif; padding: 0in;">For many travelers, the main reason for being in Ecuador is to learn Spanish. Many have noted as one of the better areas to learn Spanish – in part because of the locals slower pace of speaking (especially when compared to other Latin American countries) <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; line-height: 24px; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">

<span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; color: #0e1f58; font-family: "Book Antiqua", serif; padding: 0in;">Ecuador has many options to learn spanish, different schools and programs, experienced teachers and fun locations.

<span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; color: #0e1f58; font-family: "Book Antiqua", serif; padding: 0in;"><a href="http://www.ecuador-spanishschool.com/" target="_blank">Mar Azul Spanish School</a> also provides a very fun atmosphere to learn, as mentioned before Ecuador has many interesting locations where you can travel and enjoy the adventure in south america. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; line-height: 24px; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; color: #0e1f58; font-family: "Book Antiqua", serif; padding: 0in;">Ecuadorian open culture will welcome you and will provide the perfect environment to focus in your spanish skills. For example, buying groceries at the store can be challenging if you do not speak spanish but in Ecuador, it is fun. People is very friendly, open and patient; they will help you, repeat and try to be clear for you. It is part of our culture, most of the time a friendly smile in our faces. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; line-height: 24px; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; line-height: 24px; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; color: #0e1f58; font-family: "Book Antiqua", serif; padding: 0in;">Location, location, location, we can not say this enough but Ecuador has many fun locations to study. If you enjoy cities, cafes, theaters and concerts; Quito and Cuenca are the perfect options. Of course, there are also negative aspects to study on the city, like traffic, polution and safety issues. But these are common situations around the world. You need to be careful and make the best of your experience. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; line-height: 24px; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; line-height: 24px; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; color: #0e1f58; font-family: "Book Antiqua", serif; padding: 0in;">However, if you prefer more nature, ocean, sun and a simple; life the coast of Ecuador is the perfect location for you. Montanita has a party town reputation and we confirm this, but we also note that is small charming town where everybody is welcomed. There are not many places in the world where locals and foreign make the perfect town. Montanita night life is interesting and diverse but there are more activities that you can do. By instance, learn or improve your surfing skills, do yoga, longs walks on the beach and hills, practice your spanish with the locals, eat local food or experience the international cussine with other turist or expats. There is a place for everyone and everybody.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; line-height: 24px; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; line-height: 24px; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; color: #0e1f58; font-family: "Book Antiqua", serif; padding: 0in;">Curious? Spanish immersion is the best teacher but at Montanita you can also relax with your new friends speaking your own language. The perfect combination, either way you will never feel alone.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

What about your passport? Travelers are concerned about carrying their passports with them, but normally in Ecuador, it is not common for the theft be interested on those. There is not use for them in the region. However, if you carry your passport with your documents or in your bag and it gets stolen.... the chances to recover the passport are not high. Therefore, leave the passport and all important documents at the safe in the hotel or home. Photocopy in full color your passport and carry this copy with you, or your driver licenses, or any local ID from your own country. For the daily visits, traveling and small tours there is not need for it. Local police accept copies and other ids as original. ** Except of course, bank or official transactions </div>

<span class="color15"><span style="font-family: , serif;">Be aware, i know this is a difficult one for people that are used to leave their things without vigilance. Sadly in Ecuador, our environment doesn't allow leave your bag at the back of the chair in the restaurant, put your cellular at the table and so on. Normally there is not aggression but if the theft sees the opportunity, it will take it fast. Pickpockets in Ecuador are likely to be tempted by items that can be see. So you can keep an eye on your items all the time. Walking the streets at night in bigger cities is certainly not recommended, but taxis are cheap and uber exists in all the big cites. Walking along beaches at night alone is not recommended. Doing so will make you stand out as a target for robbery or other unpleasant situations.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; color: #0e1f58; font-family: "Book Antiqua", serif; padding: 0in;">Before living in Switzerland, I thought that because I am a spanish teacher with lots of experience and knowledge of grammar. It will be so easy for me to learn german! I though, living in the country will provide the right environment to improve, practice and in one year... I will be fluent!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; color: #0e1f58; font-family: "Book Antiqua", serif; padding: 0in;">True to be told! It was not like that, I did learn eventually to express myself, to have enough vocabulary to work, but socially conversation (I mean political opinions or deep conversations were out of my league). Yeap, sound bit frustrated, and it was. However, as I said eventually, I learnt... and I am very proud of my level because even though it was not perfect or the one I desired, I was able to work and that in Europe is a triumph!</span><span style="color: #0e1f58; font-family: "Book Antiqua", serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Now I recommended to my students and it also works for them! so I am happy to share... </span><span style="text-align: start;"></span><br />

<span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; color: #0e1f58; font-family: "Book Antiqua", serif; font-size: 19.5pt; line-height: 39px; padding: 0in;">Try to do things alone, by yourself</span><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; color: #0e1f58; font-family: "Book Antiqua", serif; font-size: 19.5pt; line-height: 39px; padding: 0in;">!</span><span style="color: #0e1f58; font-family: "Book Antiqua", serif; font-size: 19.5pt; line-height: 39px;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; line-height: 24px; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; color: #0e1f58; font-family: "Book Antiqua", serif; padding: 0in;">I mean, normally we will have friends, boyfriends, girlfriends, family that speak the new language (for example native friends that speak spanish); the key is not allow them to speak for you. Is very tempting to let that happen, is easier but you need to be scare and go to that store and buy groceries by yourself, you need to go buy cigarettes in the small shop and try to have a small chat with the people there, you need to practice your spanish with any human possible, even small chit-chat, but you have to try. I know, it can be hard to sound weird in your basic spanish vocabulary, but you will see, running errands will help you to be more comfortable. Please avoid the classic mistake to feel nervous and change the language to english, it was hard for me. I felt always like people was judging my terrible german but I forced myself to try and it felt good in some point.</span><span style="color: #0e1f58; font-family: "Book Antiqua", serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; line-height: 24px; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: start; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; color: #0e1f58; font-family: "Book Antiqua", serif; font-size: 19.5pt; line-height: 39px; padding: 0in;"><br />Watch local TV or any TV </span><span style="color: #0e1f58; font-family: "Book Antiqua", serif; font-size: 19.5pt; line-height: 39px;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; line-height: 24px; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; color: #0e1f58; font-family: "Book Antiqua", serif; padding: 0in;">It might sound funny. You do not want to watch Spanish soap operas, but it might help. I am not saying, you need to love it but you can try it. I am not fan of soup operas, so what I did is to watch on netflix all my favorite shows in german. Translation, voices and jokes where not the same but it helped. My favorite shows ever are Friends and How I met your mother; therefore, I saw them 5 times again in german. I knew the lines in english which made it easy to understand but, in some point,, I was surprised by all the vocabulary that I could understand. I tried with many easy shows (Very important, do not watch complicated movies, dramatic tv or something to deep, because all those dialogs will make you frustrated); honestly just try easy TV, even if TV is not your thing... Just try to hear someone else talking fast without the pressure to understand and reply. I just to have TV on while doing the dishes and guest what? this is how I learnt english... I have never ever attended to an english class, my TV though me everything! I tried again with german and it worked! in some point I could watch some stupid shows in swiss german in the local TV, and I was so pleased when I laughed to jokes! That is a triumph!</span><span style="color: #0e1f58; font-family: "Book Antiqua", serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; color: #0e1f58; font-family: "Book Antiqua", serif; padding: 0in;">I looked a bit crazy at the supermarket, but I just to pick my products reading first all the package... not because I needed to know what is inside but because I wanted to read and see if I understand everything. If someone gave a flyer I took it, and tried to read it, if I saw a sign in the wall, I tried to read it, If I bought something even in IKEA, I tried to read the instructions. I did not understand everything, who understands IKEA instructions, but I tried to read it. There was not paper in my hand, bag, house, that I ignored... I tried to read everything and in some point I could! Of course, I started reading the shampoo at the shower and guess what that was a triumph for me!</span><span style="color: #0e1f58; font-family: "Book Antiqua", serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; color: #0e1f58; font-family: "Book Antiqua", serif; padding: 0in;">I read one or two pages of the dictionary every day! That one is hard or boring, but I found very interesting to read the dictionary, it helped me to learn new vocabulary. (it might help you to learn new spanish vocabulary); I started with the A and I realized that many words were very similar to spanish but with different endings or that for example the verb, noun, adjective were all similar and it helped me to realize that you can play with the words and it might work! I liked so much that I just to put a small dot in the words that I already knew and copy the new words in one excel document with the only important words for me. Yeap, that sound boring but learning a new language requires lots of time and effort. I still have this document, I read it from time to time and I like to see that it worked. I am not asking you to read all the dictionary but you can try with one small (like a spanish pocket dictionary) or just write down all the words that you have learn in your spanish lessons in Ecuador and organize them separate from the grammar, believe me having some order will help your to improve your spanish skills.<br /></span><span style="color: #0e1f58; font-family: "Book Antiqua", serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; line-height: 24px; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: start; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; color: #0e1f58; font-family: "Book Antiqua", serif; font-size: 19.5pt; line-height: 39px; padding: 0in;">Be kind to yourself!</span><span style="color: #0e1f58; font-family: "Book Antiqua", serif; font-size: 19.5pt; line-height: 39px;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; line-height: 24px; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; color: #0e1f58; font-family: "Book Antiqua", serif; padding: 0in;">Last but not least... I try to not be hard on myself. Learning a language requires time and patience. The only way to learn a language is to be kind to yourself, love what you do and do not give up. There were times when frustration was bigger than my progress, there were days where I sat in silent with company just because I felt tired. I felt frustrated when a big group of friends talked fast to each other, I felt exhausted when thing went wrong but I did my best and congratulated me every day, I did such a progress that now, I don't live in Switzerland anymore but I still understand the conversations in swiss german, I can speak german, and I even enjoy a small conversation. The key in this point is keep doing what you do, and do not judge yourself if your level is not perfect. Practice, talk, listen, and sometimes of course you are going to feel weird, frustrated or tired, but we all do when learning a new language. We are all humans and is not easy for anybody, so keep doing the good work and you will see results, but the most important lessons are be kind with yourself.</span><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; color: #0e1f58; font-family: "Book Antiqua", serif; padding: 0in;"> </span><span style="color: #0e1f58; font-family: "Book Antiqua", serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Algunos de mis amigos (y amigas) se quejan de que, por culpa del exceso de vestuario, pierden horas de su vida intentando elegir lo que ponerse. Como yo reduje mi guardarropa a un traje negro básco, no tengo que afrontar ese problema.<br />
Pero mi intención aqui no es la de hablar de moda y sí de libros. Volviendo a lo esencial, decidí mantener sólo cuatrocientos libros en mi biblioteca: unos por razones sentimentales; otros porque siempre estoy releyéndolos. Adopté esa decisión por varios motivos y uno de ellos es la tristeza de ver que bibliotecas acumuladas cuidadosamente durante una vida son vendidas despues al peso, sin el menor respeto. Otra razón: porque mantener todos esos volúmenes en casa? Para mostrar a los amigos que soy culto? Para adornar la pared? Los libros que compré serpan infinitamente más útiles en una biblioteca pública que en mi casa.<br />
Antiguamente, podía decir: los necesito porque que voy a consultarlos. Pero hoy en día, cuando neceito alguna informacion, conecto el ordenador, escribo una palabra clave y delante de mí aparece todo lo que necesito. Ahi esta Internet, la mayor biblioteca del planeta.<br />
Claro, que continúo comprando libros: no existe un mdio electronico que consiga substituirlos. Pero en cuanto los termino, dejo que viajen, los regalo a alguien o los entrego en una biblioteca pública. Mi intención no es la de savar los bosques o la de ser generoso: sólo creo que un libro tiene un recorrido propio y no puede ser condenado a permanecer inmóvil en un estante.<br />
<br />
Por ser escritor y vivir de los derechos de autor, puedo estar abogando contra mí mismo; al fin y al cabo, cuanto mas libros se compraran, mas ganaría. Ahora bien, sería injusto con el lector, principalmente en países en los que gran parte de los programas gubernamentales de compraspara bibliotecas se hacen sin recurrir al criterio básico de una elección sería: el placer de la lectura con la calidad del texto.<br />
<br />
Dejemos, pues, que nuestros libros viajen, sean tocados por otras manos y disfrutados por ojos ajenos. En el momento en que escribo este artículo, recuerdo vagamente un poema de Jorge Luis Borges que hablar de los libros que jamas se volverán a abrir.<br />
<br />
Dónde estoy ahora? En una pequeña ciudad de los Pirineos en Francia, sentado en un café, aprovechando el aire acondicionado, ya que la temperatura ahi fuera resulta insoportable. Resulta que tengo la obra completa de Borges en mi casa, a algunos kilómetros del local en el que estoy escribiendo; es un escritor que releo constantemente. Pero porque no hacer la prueba?<br />
<br />
Cruzo la calle. Camino cinco minutos hasta otro café equipado con ordenadores (un tipico estableciemiento conocido con el simpático y contradictorio nobmre de cibercafé). Saludo al dueño, pido un agua mineral heladísima, abro la página de un buscador y tecleo alguans palabras de un único verso que recuerdo, junto con el nombre del autor. Menos de dos minutos depsues tengo el poema completo delante de mi:<br />
Hay una línea de Verlaine que no volveré a recordar<br />
Hay una calle próxima qeu está vedada a mis pasos<br />
Hay un espejo que me ha visto por última vez<br />
Hay una puerta que he cerrado hasta el fin del mundo<br />
Entre los libros de mi biblioteca (estoy viendolos)<br />
hay alguno que ya nunca abriré<br />
<br />
La verdad es que muchos de lso libros que regalé tengo la impresión de que jamás volvería a abrirlos, porque siempre se publica algo nuevo, interesante, y a mí me encanta leer. Me parece muy bien que las personas tengan bibliotecas; generalmete, el primer contacto de lso niños con los libros se debe a la cursiosidad por esos volumenes encuadernados, con figuras y letras, pero tambien me parece muy bien, cuando, en una tarde de firma de autografos, me encuentro a lectores con ejemplares usadisimos, que fueron prestados decenas de veces: eso significa que es libro ha viajado como lo hacpia la mente de su autor, mientras escribia.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">As of September 2000 the new currency system
has been the US Dollar, so you can find bills of 1, 5, 10, 20, 50, and 100 and
coins of 1, 5, 10, 25 and 50 cents. There is no restriction as to how much cash
or traveler checks you are allowed to bring into the country.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">While we recommend that you bring part of your
money in a credit card, debit card or in the form of traveler's checks so you
can replace them if stolen or lost, you should also carry some cash, especially
in out-of-the-way places such as Montañita or the Orient. Carry mostly $1, $5,
and $10 bills, and make sure they are in good condition or you could have
trouble using them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">In Montañita there are two ATM machines but not
bank office that is why is not possible to change travel checks here, only in
big cities like Quito or Guayaquil.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">Also <a href="http://ecuador-spanishschool.com/montanita/" target="_blank">Montañita</a> is a small town; we normally do
not use credit cards to pay small bills like food or serves, only for hostels
and shopping but not all of them, just a few. Please ask in your hostel with
anticipation if you are allowed to pay with that.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">To pay <a href="http://ecuador-spanishschool.com/spanish-course-ecuador.php" target="_blank">Spanish lessons</a>, we would prefer cash
but if you would like to pay with credit card or bank transfer, is not a

the taxes. Please let me know how is the best way for you and I will give you

<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">el uso del nexo es opcional, aunque es recomendable no usarlo.</span></li>

<span style="background-color: #ead1dc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Su uso es probio en el campo literario, ya que elimina ciertos elementos gramaticales como el verbo introductor y la conjuncion subordinante;con el unico fin de hacer a la narracion mas fluida y concreta. Pero eso si, conserva todas las transformaciones gramaticales que se dan en el estilo indirecto. Ademas de la pausa (los dos puntos), todo esto; dentro de un contexto.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
First
thing, you would never ever say: “I can´t speak a new language”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Remember
that is part of our nature to speak, that makes the difference with animals, we
can communicate is inside of us, only we need to focus those abilities and make
it work!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">We have to
make that side of our brain, wake up! And there are a few options how to do it!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">1) Spend
the time!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">By far the
most important factor is how much time you are immersed in the language. The
more time you spend with the language, the faster you will learn. This means
listening, reading, writing, speaking, and studying words and phrases. This
means spending time enjoyably connected to the language you are learning, you
are doing the first step traveling to Ecuador, where maybe 20% of the locals
speak english, I mean 80% Ecuadorians do not speak english… is a good point to
start, you have to learn, you have to practice if you do not just nobody can
understand you.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">But also
for those who are a little bit afraid to just struggle with the language,
montanita is a amazing place where to start, first because we are just to work
with tourist, even if not every body speaks english, we found the way to
communicate, explain things, which make you easy to do your shopping, met some
people.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Also when
you feel exhausted of practicing there are a big group of non- Ecuadorian
residents here, which means restaurants and some hostels belong to young
investors, which start the adventure to life in Ecuador and work for it, you
can relax talking with them some times.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">2) Listen
and read every day!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Listen
wherever you are on your MP3 player, Ipod, iphone, etc. Some music help, find a
nice band that you like and also using youtube you can read what you are
listening to. Listen to and read things that you like, things that you can
mostly understand, or even partly understand. If you keep listening and reading
you will get used to the language. One hour of listening or reading is going to
help to improve faster that you thing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">3) Focus on
words and phrases!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Build up
your vocabulary, you will need lots. Start to notice words and how they come
together as phrases. Learn these words and phrases through your listening and
reading. Read online, using online dictionaries, and make your own vocabulary
lists for review. Soon you will run into your new words and phrases elsewhere.
Gradually you will be able to use them. Do not worry about how accurately you
speak until you have accumulated a plenty of words through listening and
reading.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">4) Take
responsibility for your own learning!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">If you do
not want to learn the language, you won’t. If you do want to learn the
language, take control. Choose content of interest, that you want to listen to
and read. Seek out the words and phrases that you need to understand your listening
and reading, you can not learn after just a few hours in class, you have to
practice after, do your homework, check your vocabulary list at least one more
time after class. Do not finish your lesson and leave the books next to the bed
and pick it the next day in your way to school.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">5) Relax
and enjoy yourself!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Do not
worry about what you cannot remember, or cannot yet understand, or cannot yet
say. It does not matter. You are learning and improving. The language will
gradually become clearer in your brain, but this will happen on a schedule that
you cannot control. So practice with the nice lady at your hostel, or that
beautiful girl in the school, that handsome guy on the beach, than gentleman on
the laundry place,,, just find a perfect Seattle and we will be happy always to
talk. Just make sure you spend enough time with the language. </span>That is
the greatest guarantee of success.<br />

Y también palabras del inglés que se usan en español. Puedes nombrar algunas?<br />En el idioma español aparecen diariamente palabras inglesas. En la comida, por ejemplo: bistec y sándwich. En la ropa: suéter y jeans. Y cuando se habla de deportes, los hispanos juegan al fútbol, al basquetbol, al voleibol y el surf. O meten un gol. Entre los préstamos mas recientes se encuentran los anglicismos estrés y formatear.<br />Pero no olvidemos que el inglés también toma palabras del español. Por ejemplo, tenemos vista, plaza, canal, sierra, rodeo, patio y siesta. Otras palabras inglesas de origen español aunque modificados, son cigar (cigarrillo), alligator (el lagarto), hurricane (huracán) y barbecue (barbacoa).<br />En los nombres geográficos, la influencia del español es muy evidente. Colorado, California, nevada, San Francisco, San diego, santa Fe, El paso, Amarillo y otros nombres de ciudades y estados norteamericanos son españoles.<br />En un idioma, la adopción de palabras extranjeras es un hecho positivo y natural. Después de todo, los idiomas cambian constantemente.<br />Comprensión<br />Cierto o falso<br />1. en el ingles hay muy pocas palabras de origen español?<br />2. Los idiomas no cambian mucho?<br />3. En español donde se utilizan mas las palabras en ingles?<br />4. Cree usted que el uso de palabras extranjeras en un idioma es positivo y por qué?Mar Azul Spanish Schoolhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16188746101970770489noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7219684486831312708.post-51128509123739718752010-10-04T14:14:00.000-07:002010-10-04T14:27:09.084-07:00EjerciciosActividad <br />Los países y sus capitales<br />1.
