While I started training for the Los Angeles Marathon this year, I have been working to learn Spanish for a few years now and poco a poco I am making some progress (or pocito a pocito). One step has been to try to learn one new vocabulary word a day. It can be serious, useful, funny, never-to-be-used, slang, anything.
Today I saw an ad on the back of a bus for a Spanish-language music station in Los Angeles and saw a new word, one that seemed quite fitting ... MARATON!
So: YO QUIERO A CORRER UN MARATON.
Maraton is my word for today!

This is hilarious!
ReplyDeleteI keep finding the word marathon in trucks and in paper towel packages at the laundry mat. I haven't seen it en español, though.
Good thinking! They will be lots of Spanish-speaking people on March 21! One never knows when it can be useful.
¿Dónde está el baño? for instance (Where is the bathroom?)
Agua, por favor (Water, please)
¡¡¡Bravo; Bravo!!! (cheering at the finish line)
When I started with Group 8, some of us WERE conversing in Spanish!
ReplyDeleteI saw the ad again ... station 93.9."22 Canciones en Maratones"
Si, otras palabras:
ADELANTE! ADELANTE!
¿Dónde está el Gatorade?
¿Dónde está el fin?
¿Dónde estámos?
¿Dónde está mi cabeza?
VAMANOS!
