If you are new here each week I share a Spanish word and the way to use it. It is just something fun that we do. This week’s word is: presentar preh-sehn-tahr’ (verb) which means to introduce, to present.
Here are a few examples of the word in use:
1. Mi compañero de cuarto de la universidad me presentó a mi novia.
My college roommate introduced me to my girlfriend.
2. En la tele esta noche estarán presentando un reportaje especial sobre la economía.
They’re going to be showing a special report on the economy on the TV tonight.

Its odd that there is no word for introduce but rather the more formal ‘to present’. I always had prblems with verbs like these that are totally different!
I think this is going to be one that I would have trouble using correctly. Verbs are always a pain in the tuckus! Thanks for the lesson!
This one is a little tricky. Like many English words, this can apparently be used it two very different contexts : to introduce v. a presentation or report. I wonder how long it would take in conversation to begin to understand the difference…
This will be a good one to try this week. This word has a very different meaning in the way it’s used compared to the English language.
Great sample sentences, sometimes I can get the gist of what the sentence is saying without reading the English version. Today was not one of those cases.
