Che! Dame los cinco

Che! Cómo andas?

Welcome to the “Che! Dame los cinco” newsletter.

For the new folks joining us, I send these 4 things for you every Monday morning:

1. a new word

2. a new expression

3. a piece of content

4. an exercise for improving your Spanish

📖 Palabra - graciosa

I actually didn’t know this but besides meaning “funny” or “amusing”, this word is also used to mean “comedian.” So gente graciosa is funny people.

Dicen que la película que vamos a ver es muy graciosa.

🗨️ Expresión - me parece bien

This is a common way of saying, “sounds good.” I personally use it all the time! It’s handy to have in your back pocket and will help you sound more like a native speaker.

🔗 Contenido - Argentina’s Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee

Have you seen Jerry Seinfeld’s show on Netflix Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee?

Well, YouTube’s algorithm recommended this to me and it’s Argentina’s version of this show starring Luquitas Rodriguez, cohost of #ParenLaMano in Vorterix. It’s really well-produced and engaging. And, it has hard captions on the videos!

💪🏼 Ejercicio - Learn the first verse of Viejo Macdonald (30s)

Last week, this video popped up when my daughter was watching Spanish with Liz. It’s Old Macdonald in Spanish!

So for today’s mini-exercise, let’s learn the first verse:

El viejo macdonald tiene una granja

ia ia oh

We’ll continue learning it over the coming weeks until we can sing the whole thing!

Thanks for reading! Espero que disfrutes la semana 😄

Abrazo de tu amigo,
