I have been meaning to learn a new language in so long and Im glad I finally got the time to do it now. I chose Spanish mainly because it is the easiest language to learn (its a lot closer to Tagalog) and the school is one ride away from home. One of my professional [...] read more »
1) Este, ese, esta, esas… This, these, those… Get them confused? Just remember the simple phrase "this and these have t's". The Spanish words for this/that (este, esta, estes, estas) contain the letter "t" while the Spanish words for that/those (ese, esa, eses, esas) have no t's. 2) You can learn some of the irregular command verbs with the sentence "Vin Diesel has ten weapons, eh?"

It has never been easier to find music with sites such as YouTube or iTunes and play them on your portable music device while doing other activities. Things h... read more »
I wrote about coining or "transcreating" new words and the translation of the word "hoarder" in a previous post: See Hoarding Words. This month I wanted to discuss the translation of the word "hashtag".

For example, ... read more »
For my sister's birthday this year, we decided to dine at Alba. Me and my family's love for food is no secret. My parents always told me to save, but never on food.Growing up, they brought us to different restaurants so that we could try different cuisines. Now that we're all a little older, schedule prevents us from being together most of the week. The weekends are usually time for family and food. This weekend was extra special, though. Camille turned 22 this week, and (aside from bringing home tons... read more »
