Good destinations for improve your spanish. What is the best destination for/to improve your spanish and have a good trip? Well, Spain is maybe the best destination if you are just thinking about language, because in spain you can find the more pure spanish language. If you are thinking in language and travel you can visit Latin America. What is the best Latin America destination? For me, two destinations are winners. Mexico and Argentina. What is the best? It depends, people often love sun, beachs and cocos, if you like it, Mexico is the best option. In addition Mexico has ruins of old and advanced civilizations and in some places an extraordinary colonial arquitecture. The mix of cultures and tradition produced a beautiful folklore. In the other hand security is a drawback (maybe the only one). Some places in country aren't secure. I will speak to Argentina in next entry...

Europe for first time I have never been in Europe. For my job I visited many countries. From USA to Chile but I didn't visit European countries. Now I have a ticket to Budapest. I'm going to work a week in budapest and then I will have some free days. I'm anxious because Europe is a great destination and because is winter in europe and I love to ski!

Candies and countries Chocolate is an international candy and I think the most regular candies are the same in any country. I have an Indian Italki friend. I want to send her a traditional Argentinian candy, just a gift, because is a good and cheap gift. I have two options, an "alfajor" or a "mantecol". Both are good, I prefer alfajor that is like a lumb/paste sandwich with an special kind of mousse, and usually with chocolate cover. In the other hand mantecol is a peanuts paste cooked with butter, an explosion of calories. You can buy alfajores in Spain and in some latinoamerican countries, but here it is a religion with 6000000 of alfajores sold per day. My italki friend is vegetarian and also she doesn't eat eggs. The lump/mass will have eggs? I will find information in the wrapper. I attached an image, two different alfajores in my kitchen table.

Funny commercial to learn spanish I'm always trying to learn english in a funny way. Some days ago I found an old and funny tv commercial with an idiomatic joke. I would like to share it with you. Is a commercial for a big beer company. For me is funny for the ridiculous (but possible) situation and because the actors make a good job. The situation is possible because "Elsa" is a very popular name here and ,in some countries like here, people usually say for married women "first name"+"last name"+de+"husband last name". In this case her whole name is "Elsa Bor de Lencuentro" and it sound equal to "El sabor del encuentro" which was the company phrase/jingle/spot for years. Here the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKkKDcwK7Sk&feature=youtube_gdata_player Enjoy and learn!

Language intelligibility I want to write about Language intelligibility. I'm from Argentina, I speak spanish. Almost the whole latinoamerica speaks spanish. Brazil doesn't speak spanish, they speak portuguese but spanish speakers can undestand portuguese. We also can undestand Italian with some difficult. All mentioned languages are called "romance" languages and also French is a romance language but in this case we can understand only few parts.

Simple past Vs Present perfect Is difficult for me, to use present perfect. In Spanish exist a very similar concept called "preterito perfecto", but people rarely use it. Maybe some countries with more pure Spanish use it, but is Uncommon here.What do you use instead? Well, we use only simple past in all cases. I know, We use a poor version of the language, but is true

long trip between home and work I have a new Cell phone. this cell phone is huge, and for this reason Now I can write Confortably in it. I will try to write more often in Itaki, because everyday (from Monday to friday) I spend almost one hour in a small train/metro from my home to the office. I think this is normal in big cities but I try to use this time. Now I'm on the train, I want to take a secret picture inside it to attach in the post, but the Cell phone camera makes sounds and people Could be furious with me, Instead a take a picture of the whole train. I attach it

A very good recommendation to learn languages There is in internet (youtube) a very good tv serie to learn English, Spanish or Deusch/German. Of course I watched only the "English" version, I mean, the version to learn English, there are 30 episodes and the serie is not boring in fact is funny and there are funny characters. The serie is called "Extra" or "Extr@" for english/Spanish etc. I recommend, I think is for Intermediate level, you can learn something in a funny way and without hard work. Here the link, episode 1 english version, you can find for your language... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NcTQFu-V0vM
