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 - tipo 

This is slang to mean “dude” or “guy” but usually when you’re talking about someone (as opposed to saying hola tipo which you wouldn’t do).

¡Cuidado el tipo!
Mauricio es un buen tipo, pero a veces es un poco pesado.

🗨️ Expresión - re

This is very common to hear used by Argentinians and it’s the same as muy.

So in this screenshot below, you’ll see it being used as estás re loco

🔗 Contenido - Reflections after 2 Years

My daughter turned 2 this month which means it’s been 2 years of me speaking only Spanish with her. I decided to write up some thoughts and reflections on the journey so far.

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

Last week, we started learning Old Macdonlad in Spanish from Spanish with Liz.

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

Y en esa granja tiene una vaca

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,
- Joe
