Students regularly ask me, "How do I know what comes after a verb?"  This is a tough question, and it's no surprise that most EFL textbooks don't talk much about it.  There aren't any easy answers but at the same time, there are some guidelines.

¡Hola a todos y bienvenidos a mi podcast Spanish with a Colombian coffee y en este episodio hablaré sobre la Navidad! Hoy te contaré sobre las fascinantes costumbres navideñas que se viven en Colombia, un país lleno de color, alegría y tradiciones.
En Colombia, la Navidad es una época mágica donde las familias se reúnen para celebrar con gran entusiasmo. Una de las tradiciones más representativas y es la novena, una serie de nueve noches de oración y canto para celebrar el nacimiento de Jesús. Cada noche, vecinos y amigos se reúnen en diferentes casas para compartir momentos de reflexión y alegría.
Entusiasmo: es un estado de ánimo muy alegre y de mucha emoción
In English is the noun enthusiasm and is related with an intense and eager enjoyment
La Navidad en Colombia también es sinónimo de música. Los villancicos se escuchan en cada rincón del país, desde las plazas hasta las casas. Canciones como "Mi Burrito Sabanero" se convierten en himnos que unen a grandes y pequeños en una misma melodía.
Melodía: es una secuencia de notas musicales
In English is the word melody and is a sequence of single notes that is musically satisfying
Y, por supuesto, no podemos olvidar la comida. En esta época, las mesas colombianas se llenan de delicias como la lechona, un cerdo relleno de arroz, cocinado con especias y cocido lentamente hasta que la piel se vuelve crujiente. También los buñuelos y la natilla.
buñuelos:  en una masa de harina frita con forma esférica
Natilla: es un flan de leche hecho a base de harina de maíz y sin huevo
Pero lo más importante es el espíritu de unidad y amor que hay en cada hogar colombiano. Las calles se iluminan con luces de colores, las casas se decoran con bellos pesebres y las familias se unen en torno a la fe y la esperanza.
Pesebre: es la representación del nacimiento de Jesús
In English is the word Nativity scene that is a special exhibition representing the birth of Jesus
