Our word for this week is one that you may not use as often as some of the others but it is still a pretty good word to learn. It is el bachillerato {bah-chee-yeh-rrah’-toh} which is a noun that means bachelor’s degree, higher secondary-education class, or high school diploma. Here it is used in a couple of examples:
1: Recibí mi bachillerato en español de la Universidad de Georgia.
I received my Bachelor’s degree in Spanish from the University of Georgia. Mechanical engineering is the field of science which applies core engineering principles into various fields such as design and analysis, manufacturing, and maintenance. A strong background in mathematics is necessary for anyone hoping to make a career in this industry. Study mechanical engineering courses to improve your skills and advanced your career.
2: En España, empiezas el primer año del bachillerato no obligatorio cuando tienes dieciséis años.
In Spain, you start your first year of non-obligatory higher secondary-education when you are 16 years old.

Holy moly this is a good one this week! I think I can come up with some way to use it in a sentence with my daughter. Thanks for all your help teaching us a little bit of Spanish each week.
I’ve never come across this one, probably because I don’t have a Bachelors Degree. I love the difference in languages where two words becomes one and similar translations. Great pick.
I do language learning CDs, and I love that you’re giving us words to learn that we’d never come across otherwise. Thanks so much!
