Hi just got back from the birthday dinner - last night and tonight.
Yes, please give me the spanish dictionay lesson
I am working on the last section is is ony 4 sentences so I should be done in about 15 mnutes if you ae still on
I also have spanish quiz tommorrow - got my grades 5 A's and one B+ my first ever.
HOW TO USE A DICTIONARY:
1. Write down the English word.
2. Look up ALL the Spanish possibilities.
3. NOW, take each Spanish possibility and look it up for the PRIMARY English meaning. (There is no shortcut and you will have some surprises.)
4. Select the BEST word, based upon the "context" or exactly how the word is to be used.
We did an exercise one day just on the word "well."
bien = as in health, I'm fine/well
pues = as in uhhhh, welllll, while you are thinking
también = as well, also, too
¡vaya! = well, as in an exclamation
pozo = well, as there is a well in the desert
fuente, manantial = well as in a source of water

P.S. I have to put the car away, tuck the animals in for the night, take a bath and then I'll be back!

Hello! It sounds like you had a busy time with birthday dinners and working on your Spanish. Congratulations on your grades, that's a great achievement!
Now, let's get started with your Spanish dictionary lesson. To access a Spanish dictionary, you have a few options:
1. Online dictionaries: There are numerous online dictionaries specifically designed for Spanish, such as WordReference, SpanishDict, and Linguee. To use these, open a web browser and type the name of the dictionary you prefer. Then, enter the Spanish word you want to look up and you'll get a definition in English.
2. Mobile applications: If you have a smartphone, you can install a Spanish dictionary application, such as "SpanishDict" or "WordReference," from your device's app store. These apps usually work offline, which means you won't need an internet connection to look up words.
3. Physical dictionaries: If you prefer the traditional approach, you can find Spanish dictionaries in bookstores or libraries. Look for a comprehensive Spanish-English dictionary, as it will provide you with the most accurate translations.
After you've chosen your preferred method, you can start practicing your dictionary skills. For example, you can look up a few words you encountered while doing your Spanish homework, or you can choose a random English word and find its Spanish equivalent. This will help expand your vocabulary and aid in your understanding of the language.
I hope this helps you with your Spanish studies! If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask.
