¡Hola, amigos! 🌟 Hoy vamos a aprender sobre los superlativos en español de una manera divertida e interactiva. ¡Listos? ¡Vamos!

🔍 ¿Qué son los superlativos?
Los superlativos son formas que usamos para expresar que algo tiene la mayor o menor cantidad de una cualidad. Por ejemplo, si decimos "el más alto", estamos hablando de alguien que es más alto que todos los demás.

✨ Formas de crear superlativos:
1. Con "más" o "menos":
- Ejemplo: "El libro es el más interesante de todos."
- Ejemplo: "Ella es la menos rápida del grupo."

2. Con sufijos:
- Para adjetivos que terminan en "o", "a", "e", o consonante, podemos agregar "-ísimo/a":
- Ejemplo: "Este coche es rapidísimo."

🤔 ¡Ahora es tu turno!
1. Piensa en un adjetivo que te guste (por ejemplo, "bonito").
2. ¿Cómo lo convertirías en superlativo? ¡Escribe tu respuesta en los comentarios!

💬 Ejemplo: "El vestido es el más bonito de la tienda."

¡Espero ver sus respuestas! Recuerden, los superlativos son una forma genial de expresar lo que más nos gusta. ¡Hasta la próxima! 🎉

What does ‘Salud, dinero y amor’ mean in Spanish?:
Hoy quiero compartir contigo una de mis frases favoritas en español: SALUD, DINERO y AMOR. Esta, más que una frase, amigos, es la fórmula para la felicidad en español.
Today I’d like to share with you one of my favourite Spanish phrases: GOOD HEALTH, MONEY and LOVE. This is more than a phrase, my friends, this is a recipe for happiness in Spanish.

¿Estás de acuerdo con esta fórmula? Si no gozas de buena salud física y mental, sin importar cuánto dinero tengas, es muy difícil que puedas explorar el mundo y hasta quizá ni siquiera puedas abrazar a tus seres queridos.
Wouldn’t you agree with this expression? If you don´t have good physical or mental health, regardless of how much money you own, it´s really hard to explore the world and you probably wouldn’t even be able to hug your beloved ones.

Chiste y Broma
Ambas palabras significan ‘joke’ en inglés ¿Cuál es la diferencia entre estas palabras? ¿Y cómo sabemos cuádo usar una o la otra?
Both words broma and chiste translate to the English word joke. What’s the difference between these two Spanish words, and how do I know when to use each one?
The main difference is that “chiste” is a joke or a funny story. For example, “three guys walk into a bar…”. A “chiste” is a story joke that you tell and it has a punch line. A funny story.
While “broma” is a joke that you play on someone, such as putting a sign on someone’s back with a funny message. A “broma” is also a silly comment, a practical joke, a way a speaking that means that you’re not serious. For example, when someone tells you something and you say, “You’re joking, right?” (¿Es una broma, verdad?).
A “broma inocente” is a joke played on someone that makes the “victim” laugh together with the ones who did the joke, something light; while a “broma pesada” o “broma de mal gusto” is a prank that went a little too far.

Today I have a horror story to share with you. Be prepared for a sleepless night!

¿Qué es el Chupacabras?
El chupacabras es un ser aterrador y misterioso que ataca a animales de ganado en zonas rurales. Hay muchas personas que aseguran haberlo visto, aunque la descripción varía según quién lo cuente ya que nunca nadie lo ha podido atrapar. Algunos dicen que se ve como un reptil, otros que es un mamífero parecido a un perro salvaje, sin piel y esquelético. Lo que nunca cambia es su particular forma de atacar: succionando la sangre, como un vampiro.
Generalmente, ataca por las noches. Sus víctimas amanecen sin una gota de sangre en sus cuerpos. A veces hasta les faltan sus órganos vitales. De allí viene su nombre:
CHUPA + CABRAS
´Chupa´ viene del verbo ´Chupar´, que según el diccionario de la Real Academia Española significa: ´Sacar o traer con los labios y la lengua el jugo o la sustancia de algo´. La segunda parte de la palabra es el animal que es la cabra, al que suele atacar con frecuencia, aunque no es el único animal que devore.

Número 4 – Number 4: /i/
The n way to pronounce the “LL” in Spanish is with an /i/ or /ee/ sound, as when you say ‘bee’ or ‘iguana’.
We use this way to pronounce the ‘LL’ in most countries in Latin America such as México, Chile, Perú, Bolivia, Cuba.

– Me llamo María /meh iamoh maria/ (My name is Maria)
-Lluvia /iuveeah/
-Llaves /iahbehs/

La Doble Ele ‘LL’:
I’d like to show you 4 different pronunciation differences for the double L in Spanish.
Número 1 – Number 1: /SH/
The first way to pronounce the “LL” in Spanish is with a /sh/ sound, as when you’re trying to silence someone, and you cross your lips with your index finger, quite like the nurses do it in a hospital urging people to keep quiet.
We use this way to pronounce the ‘LL’ in Argentina, most specifically in Buenos Aires and Santa Fé and Uruguay.
Por ejemplo:
– Me llamo María /meh shamoh maria/ (My name is Maria)
-Lluvia /shuveeah/
-Llaves /shahbehs/

What Is a Vision Board? / Que es un MAPA DE SUEÑOS?
A vision board is usually a collage of images that represent goals and dreams. It can include cut-out pictures from magazines and words that help inspire you to manifest your dreams and get where you want to go (here is a complete guide on how to manifest something).
Although vision boarding is a commonly used tool, there is not a lot of research on its effectiveness. Initial research suggests it can help us more easily reach our goals. This may be due to how vision boards help us gain self-awareness and self-reflect on what is important to us.

Pablo Picasso (Spain, 1881-1973)
Perhaps one of the world’s most famous artists of all time, Picasso was a Spanish artist who produced paintings, sculptures, ceramics, and theater sets. Although he painted in a naturalistic style during his youth, he later developed a movement known as Cubism, which also influenced many other artists that came after him.

What’s an Accent?
The accent refers to variations in pronunciation within the same language or even within the same dialect or variety. Accents differ from standard language.
It means that a speaker of the Rioplatense variety of Spanish in Argentina can speak the European variety of Spanish if needed, using its specific vocabulary and grammar, but still keep the regional accent of their homeland.
An English speaker can choose to learn any variety or dialect of Spanish and still pronounce it with a foreign accent.
The key thing to remember is that “accent” only refers to pronunciation, while dialect must include distinct grammar and vocabulary beyond regional pronunciations.

What are Dialects?
A dialect, also called a variety, signals where a person comes from. It differs from other dialects within the same language in grammar and vocabulary. Some linguists also add phonological features, such as the pronunciation of vowels and consonants, and the intonation, but these are usually considered aspects of an accent.
So European Spanish and Mexican Spanish are examples of dialects, like British English and American English. They have differences in grammar and vocabulary but still, have a common core. If you learn standard English or standard Spanish, you’ll be able to communicate with speakers of both varieties.
What’s not a dialect? Well, let’s say you travel to Mexico City—you’ll hear people speaking with different accents depending on their social class. The fact is, a different accent is not equal to a different dialect.

“Doce cuentos peregrinos” by Gabriel García Márquez
“Doce cuentos peregrinos” (Twelve Pilgrim Tales) is a collection of twelve stories written and edited by Gabriel García Márquez over eighteen years.
The constant discussion of “foreignness” and feeling like “the other” make this collection a fantastic read for learners and future travelers. Each story is about six to ten text-heavy pages, not too long and not too short for advanced learners.
The length and difficulty level make these stories best suited for focused reading practice. The language is all about leading readers through a clear, straightforward narrative, so there is little romantic, poetic or lofty language to tackle.

“El cuento envenenado” by Rosario Ferré
The daughter of Puerto Rico’s third elected governor, Ferré’s career might have been helped by her family’s status and wealth but it certainly doesn’t rely upon it.
“El cuento envenenado” (The Poisoned Story) is quite complicated, but at the same time a lot of fun. The story plays with the very building blocks of literature, exploring the potential of different narrators in this tale about a young girl named Rosaura (or was it Rosa?).
For a playfully masterful tale that also explores serious topics like the evolving nature of social class by one of the Caribbean’s greatest living female writers, you can’t do much better than “El cuento envenenado.”

“La ratita presumida”
“La ratita presumida” (The Smug Little Mouse) is a story that’s been floating around for centuries. Starting off orally, it was put to paper in “Lágrimas” by Fernán Caballero in 1839.
There are quite a few different versions of this story, but it usually involves a soon-to-be-wed mouse, her many suitors and a cat. While this tale may sound a little dark, it’s widely used as a children’s book because of its moral and educational value.
If it’s your first time reading a short story in Spanish, this is a great one to start with. Having just a few hundred words in length, it’s short, simple and easy to get through.

Type Accents
Writing in Spanish
It’s just as important to include accents when writing in Spanish as it is to spell words correctly. It drives me kind of crazy when people say, sorry, I can’t type accents on my computer / tablet / smartphone.
Yes, you can type accents – yes! even on your old computer.
No, you don’t have to buy a Spanish keyboard, or install any software.
Virtually every system has at least one built-in method for typing accents – you just need to follow these links to find out what it is and how to activate it.

Do you type accents?

Tilde: ñ
Spanish double letter
The ~ accent, called a tilde, on the Spanish letter Ñ indicates that the word used to be spelled with two Ns but now the tilde stands in for the second one. Ñ is pronounced like the ni in onion.
It’s very important to include the tilde when writing or typing, because N and Ñ are two different letters. There are words that mean different things depending on whether the word is spelled and pronounced with N or Ñ. Also, Ñ has its own section of the dictionary which comes after the entire N section.
