Que Tenga Un Buen Día


I have two phrases to share with you this week!

The first is: ¡Que chévere!
which means "how cool or exciting". 
It has been a common phrase used this week. 
It is also fun to say.

The second is: ¡Que tenga un buen día!
which means "Have a good day!"
I try to say this as often as I can because it always seems to make someone smile.

Make someone smile today by telling them to have a lovely day in whatever language you want!

Everyday Spanish


This week I want to share a couple of important phrases to know when you are travelling in a Spanish speaking country.

First: "Mucho gusto en conocerlo/la".
This means "Very pleased to meet you", and you use "lo" for a male and "la" for female. This is great to say when you meet someone for the first time and flash your Spanish skills.

Second: "¿Cuánto se debe?" or "¿Cuánto cuesta esto?" 
This means "How much is owed?" or "How much does this cost?" This is a very important phrase to in the market place and when you are buying anything.

Third: "¿Qué hora es?"
This means "What time is it?" and people usually respond with "Son..." or "Es..." followed by the number "uno, dos, tres, etc." If "y media" is added, that means 30 minutes after the hour.

So excited to use these phrases everyday this week in Quito!

World Peace is in our Hands


Ecuador is 5 days away!
Oh my goodness,
I went shopping today with my mamma to get things like first aid kits and other important traveling stuff. It is really about to happen. :)

This week I am going to share a phrase on the wall I saw in El Salvador one time:

"La Paz del Mundo Esta en Nuestas Manos".

It means "World Peace is in our Hands" or "The Peace of the World is in our Hands". It was painted on the side wall of an elementary school, and I just thought it was so lovely. 


Next week, I will have phrases I actually learn in Ecuador! YEAH!
