Such a word we hope to never use. Just after reading about the violent murder of the Michigan blogger. I do appreciate these lessons as my kids are learning Spanish and I always wanted to. Thanks!
Thank you for posting another Spanish word of the week. Hopefully, this one doesn’t come in handy as much as some of the others you’ve posted, but you never know when it might be helpful. I like the way the word sounds, though.
It’s a bummer that I might get to use this word this week. we have a snow/ice storm headed our way. t is supposed to be a good one. Fingers crossed that it misses us. Thank you for doing these each week!
Interesting that even if you didn’t know Spanish you could probably guess what the word meant. Hopefully I won’t have to think of that word too much in my life.
