I recommend having a Corona beer, even today, the 6th of May.<br />
<h3 class="post-title entry-title" itemprop="name">
<a href="http://www.spanishbystories.com/2014/05/el-cinco-de-mayo.html">El Cinco de Mayo</a>
</h3>
<div class="post-header">
</div>
NO ES LA INDEPENDENCIA DE MÉXICO. Eso se celebra el 16 de septiembre,
cuando en 1810 el Padre Miguel Hidalgo del pueblo Dolores dio su "grito
de independencia" de España.<br />
<br />
El cinco de mayo conmemora la Batalla de Puebla de 1862, en la cual los
mexicanos ganaron una victoria sobre el ejército grande y poderosa de
Francia.<br />
<br />
El presidente Benito Juárez había pedido prestado mucho dinero de
Inglaterra, España y Francia. Pero no pudo devolver el dinero.
Inglaterra y España negociaron con Juárez, pero Francia quería
conquistar a México e invadió su territorio.<br />
<br />
Durante esta guerra los franceses avanzaron desde Veracruz hacia la
ciudad de México con mucha confianza y seis mil soldados. Pero en la
ciudad de Puebla, el 5 de mayo de 1862 después de una larga batalla, el
pequeño ejército mexicano ganó y los franceses tuvieron que retirarse.
Los franceses perdieron más de 500 soldados mientras los mexicanos, bajo
el general Zaragoza, un tejano, perdieron solo 100 hombres.<br />
<br />
Aunque los franceses lograron conquistar a México y lo controlaron
durante seis años hasta la ejecución del Emperador Maxmiliano y su
esposa Carlota en 1867, se considera la Batalla de Puebla como una
victoria simbólica contra el imperialismo europeo en las Américas.<br />
<br />
En México se celebra muy poco el cinco de mayo, excepto en Puebla. En
los Estados Unidos ha llegado a ser una ocasión para celebrar la
herencia y la cultura mexicana. <br />

The class is currently full, and I have requests from several people already who would like to join if anyone drops.<br />
Since it's my first time using Zoom for teaching a class, I am reluctant to invite more students to join us.<br />
But I have high hopes after watching my TPRS guru, Blaine Ray, teaching online classes from complete beginners through amazingly advanced students. We'll be taking it slowly, remembering that each person learns at their own speed and readiness. And, of course, we will have some fun!Teri Coppedgehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18319694695890767446noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3342289837725804126.post-13837855543029291102020-03-30T19:33:00.001-07:002020-03-30T19:33:52.587-07:00¡Vamos al cine!¡Vamos al cine! Let's go to the movies! ¡We're going to the movies!<br />
<br />
En español, "the movies" in general is "el cine."<br />
But "el cine" can also be the movie theater. En Ashland hay dos cines, el Varsity y el Ashland Street Cinema.<br />
<br />
¿Cuál es tu película favorita?<br />
What's your favorite movie (or film)?<br />
We used to use "película" in our cameras as well until digital photography took over.<br />
<br />
Ahora podemos ver películas en la tele. <br />
Now we can see movies / films on TV.<br />
<br />
"Dolor y Gloria" es un film por Pedro Almodóvar.<br />
Here we're using the word film, possibly to indicate the high quality or artistic merit we expect, and are definitely given in "Pain and Glory." This film is the very best Almodóvar has made, in my opinion. I loved it. Watch it! Listen to the language. Enjoy.<br />
<br />
And if you enjoy streaming movies at home, read this from WordReference.com:<br />
<table class="WRD"><tbody>
<tr class="even" id="enes:26674"><td class="FrWrd"><strong>streaming</strong> <em class="tooltip POS2">n</em></td><td> (audio, video) <span class="dsense">(<i>voz inglesa</i>)</span></td><td class="ToWrd">streaming <em class="tooltip POS2">nm</em></td></tr>

<tr class="even"><td> </td><td class="ToEx" colspan="2">El streaming te permite ver los programas de la tele en línea sin tener que descargarlos antes.</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
Keep learning Spanish! The online possibilities are endless. Take advantage of them.<br />

Me encanta ver la nieve y me gustaría esquiar. Pero tengo que ir a clase en OLLI. ¿Cómo voy a llegar allí? Podría caminar con mis botas puestas. Podría montar en bicicleta pero no sé si sería buena idea. O bien, podría manejar el carro, pero tampoco me encanta la idea. Sería un experimento con mi cuatro por cuatro. Ah, ya sé. Lo más probable es que voy en autobús. Pasa muy cerca de mi casa y me lleva directamente al Campbell Center.<br />

Meanwhile, a friend has suggested this video, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dfb9-ZTCA-E" target="_blank"><i>Extra</i></a>, to help you learn Spanish. It's funny and generally comprehensible. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dfb9-ZTCA-E <br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">This class will be held in the Campbell Center at SOU, Room C, on Wednesday and Monday afternoons, for two hours, 3:30 - 5:30, for a total of 8 sessions. Note that this is <span style="color: magenta;">TWICE A WEEK.</span> Each class is different and builds on the ones before. We start on May 8; there is no class on May 27, Memorial Day; the last class is June 5.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">This is NOT a class for people who have never studied Spanish before at all. However, if a few years have passed since your last exposure to Spanish, that's OK. It will come back. If you've had some classes in basic Spanish and have a general grasp of grammar, you'll be fine in this class. Knowing about verb conjugation (in present tense, at least), common vocabulary, gender endings, and approximate pronunciation will be very helpful. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">(Just a note to folks who've done some serious study of Spanish and can function on your own -- you would be better served by enrolling in a class more appropriate to your needs.)</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">No textbook is required. Your primary way of acquiring the language is through listening and reading. In class, you'll listen (and contribute fun details to our stories); then, at home, you can read the notes I post here as well as the stories we create together in class. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<br />
The class will be conducted entirely in Spanish, but students are urged, even required ¡?! to ask for clarification or repetition at any time. It's open to students who feel relatively comfortable reading in Spanish but may hesitate to talk because they're nervous about vocabulary, usage or grammar. We'll be telling stories and amusing ourselves too much to worry a lot, but this will be a great time to resolve some of those nagging doubts. <br />
