NB: Last time I forgot to mention. Quizlet has six components for every set. They are:
- Familiarize: It has a whiteboard kind of thing which can either show just one word, or the word and the meaning according to your need.
- Learn: Here quizlet will give you the word in English (in the case of a English - Spanish task), and you should try and give the meaning in Spanish
- Test: This has a few test types like fill in the blanks, match the following, true or false etc. This section is boring.
- Scatter: I don't like it much. Here you need to drag corresponding items onto each other to make them disappear.
- Space race: This is definitely my favorite. If you are a fast typer, this is the game for you. Trust me, I have learned upto 200 words in a day using this (It is possible for you, if your capability for obsession is as high as mine). Let me reiterate. I love this game.
- Voice race: In some sets you can see this. You can play this if you have a mike. I haven't played it. But my guess is that it is space race sans typing. As the name suggests. You can use your voice instead of your fingers.
Thank you in advance for visiting this set.

The best way to improve your vocabulary (at least for people like me)
Per me, this is the best way to improve your vocabulary. Through games. I found this site called quizlet.com, and immediately played a game to learn 50 new verbs. It was a set of 106 verbs, out of which I had already learned around 50 earlier.
Try this out, and let me know if this works out for you too. (Try the space race and see whether you can beat my score)
Spanish common verbs
Btw, we will soon be creating customized language games and posting them. Thanks to quizlet.

Julio es un rapista. He stitches clothes – Part 2
If you have not read part-1, please read it first.
Here are the meanings:
1. Estoy embrazada
Suggested meaning: I am embarrassed
The real meaning: I am pregnant.
Suggested meaning: Please give me the revolver
Real meaning of the word revolver is to revolve or to cause disorder. The word for the other revolver is not too different. It is revólver
3. No molestar me
Suggested meaning: Don’t molest me
Real meaning: By now most of you know the meaning. It means ‘to disturb’ and not to molest. Abusar (sexualmente) is the word for ‘molest’
4. Yo éxito el jugar
Suggested meaning: I quit the game
Real meaning: This is quite an irony, because exito in Spanish does not mean ‘to quit’, it means ‘success.’ And the word for quit in Spanish is dejar.
5. es un rapista
Suggested meaning: He is a rapist
Real meaning: Rapista is a lesser known word for a barber. A barber can also be called a barbero
Why give this list?
The list is a representative of words that are called ‘false friends.’ False friends are words which are so similar to a word in our own language that we assume that it has the same meaning in the language that we are learning. And this can cause a lot of confusion, and at times embarrassment (Definitely so if you confuse the word embrazada).
For this reason, it is good to take a look at some important false friends in Spanish, and here is the link to such a list.
http://spanish.about.com/cs/vocabulary/a/obviouswrong.htm
I wish you all luck in not making false friends (Pun truly intended) :-)
Adios.

A beautiful Spanish song - Quiero Ser (I want to be)
I love A.R.Rahman's music, and the side effect was that in three years after getting in contact with the language, I was speaking Tamil as fluently as a native speaker. Do you get the hint? I hope so.
Here is a Spanish song which I picked up from the los principales list (It is the Spanish equivalent of top 40 billboard of the US or UK). I love the song (I have already learned quite a few words from the song), and I hope you like it too.
Here is the video of the song from You tube, and the translated lyrics. (You will never forget the word quiero after listening to this song)
Lyrics
Quiero ser, una palabra serena y clara
I want to be a word calm and clear
Quiero ser, un alma libre, de madrugada
I want to be a free soul, at dawn
Quiero ser una emigrante, de tu boca delirante,
I want to be an emigrant, delirious for your mouth
de deseos que una noche convertiste en mi dolor.
of desires that one night you turned into my pain
Estribillo 1 (refrain)
Quiero creer, quiero saber,
I want to believe, I want to know
que dormiré a la verita tuya (1)
that I will sleep by your side
Quiero esconderme de miedo y mirar de una vez
I want to hide because of fear and to look at last
los ojos que tiene la luna.
the eyes that the moon has
Estribillo 2
Quiero cantar a la libertad,
I want to sing to freedom
y caminar cerca del mar, amarradita siempre a tu cintura (2)
and to walk close the sea, tied always to your waist
que esta locura de amarte no puede acabar
that this crazyness of loving you cannot end
por mucho que te entren las dudas
just because you doubt
de si eres tú el que me hace tan feliz
whether is you who makes me so happy
Quiero ser, la que te jure amor eterno.
I want to be the one who swears to you eternal love
Quiero ser, una parada en la estación
I want to be a stop in the station
que lleva tu nombre.
that has your name
Quiero ser el verbo "puedo",
I want to be the verb "can"
quiero andarme sin rodeos (3), confesarte
I want not to beat around the bush, to confess to you
que una tarde empecé a morir por ti
that one afternoon I started dying for you

Volver - My favorite Spanish movie
Volver is the best Spanish movie that I have ever watched. (Not that I have watched too many. I tried finishing off a list of top ten Spanish movies. Couldn't). Volver is the word for 'to return' in Spanish, and the theme of the movie is return. If you have heard of Pedro Almodóvar, (arguably the most successful and internationally acclaimed Spanish film maker of his generation), I can say that critics rate this as one of Almodóvar's best works.
Here is a trailer from youtube - Enjoy.
Do watch the movie if you get a chance.
I guess in 2007, for this movie, Penelope cruz was nominated for the best actress category in the oscars. I am not sure though. You can check that out and let me know.
Adios.

I have a billon dollars – Try telling this to your Spanish novia/o
If you are a billionaire (I can hear you say ‘I wish’) and you want to tell your Spanish novia/o about it, be a little careful about what you say. (cuidado)
Are you are about to say “Tengo unos billones de dólares,”?
Think again. You might be saying that you are richer than Bill gates (Whose net worth is 40 billion US dollars.)
How does that work?
This is because Spanish uses the old British system, where one billion is not 1,000,000,000, but 1,000,000,000,000, which is about a million million in the US system.
The French invented both the systems (btw, they use the word millard for this), but the American system trumped due to the convenience factor when the business world started using the term ‘thousand million’ too often.
So, if you are really a billionaire (Don’t say ‘I wish’ again), what exactly would you tell your novia/o?
I am not going to tell you that. Google is wide open for the search. But yes I (along with the readers) would definitely like to know what you found out. So please hit google, and come back to post the result in the comments.
Adios Amigos, Hasta luego

Nb: How many of you noticed that on the title it says billon and not billion? The theory proves itself. Once again.

Ñ - Born and brought up in Spanish
Look at this article from about.com
Question: Where did the Ñ come from?
Answer: As you could probably guess, the ñ came originally from the letter n. The ñ does not exist in Latin and is the only Spanish letter of Spanish origins.
Beginning in about the 12th century, Spanish scribes (whose job it was to copy documents by hand) used the tilde placed over letters to indicate that a letter was doubled (so that, for example, nn became ñ and aa became ã). I'm not sure why they used the tilde, except perhaps that it was quick to write, although it may be no coincidence that it is shaped vaguely like an N. The tilde was used not only with the n but with other letters as well.
The popularity of the tilde for other letters eventually waned, and by the 14th century, the ñ was the only place it was used. Its origins can be seen in a word such as año (which means "year"), as it comes from the Latin word annus with a double n. As the phonetic nature of Spanish became solidified, the ñ came to be used for its sound, not just for words with an nn. A number of Spanish words, such as señal and campaña, that are English cognates use the ñ where English uses "gn," such as in "signal" and "campaign," respectively.
The Spanish ñ has been copied by two other languages that are spoken by minorities in Spain. It is used in Euskara, the Basque language that is unrelated to Spanish, to represent approximately the same sound as it has in Spanish. It is also used in Galician, a language similar to Portuguese. (Portuguese uses nh to represent the same sound.)
Additionally, three centuries of Spanish colonial rule in the Philippines led to the adoption of many Spanish words in the national language, Tagalog (also known as Pilipino or Filipino). The ñ is among the letters that have been added to the traditional 20 letters of the language.
And while the ñ isn't part of the English alphabet, it frequently is used by careful writers when using adopted words such as jalapeño, piña colada or piñata and in the spelling of various personal and place names.
In Portuguese, the tilde is placed over vowels to indicate that the sound is nasalized. That use of the tilde has no apparent direct connection with the use of the tilde in Spanish.

The Will to Life (La Voluntad a la Vida)
Autor: Bharat Barki
Spanish
¿Cómo es que las pequenas, monas tortugas recién nacidos, una vez nacidos, de algún modo encuentran su camino hasta el mar? Todo que la mamá de tortugas hace es poner los huevos y va a su camino. ¿Qué cruel!
Una vez Willful, la joven tortuga, pidió a su amiga la tortuga: "Willless hay vida después de la muerte?" "No sé", el otro dijo,"tal vez hay vida después de la muerte. ¿Por qué no le pides la respuesta y lo buscas tú mismo?" Continuó: "En fin, estamos los individuos inteligentes con inquisitivas preguntas como ésta! " Willful caminaba en la orilla inquietamente, desesperadamente tratando de encontrar una respuesta rápida y satisfactoria.
Willful y Willless fueron los mejores amigos en la playa. Ellos compartieron sus experiencias, buenas y malas. Casi siempre se hablaban durante muchas horas, discutiendo la vida y viviéndolo.
Willless dijo: "Montar la <> no es fácil con un camino equivocado. Se puede llevar una vida en la que una persona tiene todo lo que se desee sin preocuparse por la ruta que él / ella tomó para llevarlo . En resumen, la vida y la manera de vivir deben estar en armonía, de lo contrario la gente alrededor de nosotros van a sufrir, y nosotros vamos a llevar una vida que queremos solo a expensas del sufrimiento de los demás. Y mientras que otros están sufriendo, es apático a disfrutar de nosotros mismos ". "Eres un perdedor Willless es la razón por la que tú hablas así", dijo Willful. "Tú no has vivido nada en la vida." Y así se marchó.
Willless se sentó allí, contemplando en el elemento de verdad en las palabras de Willful. Fue una persona muy prudente, por eso se tragó la amarga píldora y abrazó el momento de la verdad.
"Voy" Willess dijo, "puede venir si quiere", declarando su deseo de poner fin a la triste conversación que, en realidad, era demasiado condescendiente y paternalista de su gusto. "Voy al bosque para buscar la respuesta a mí mismo que acaba de decirme". "No vas" Willless dijo. "no empiezas todo de nuevo, voy a ser lo que será" gritó Willful. Willess pensó "que se encuentran sus respuestas" y se dirigió hacia el océano para continuar su trabajo y ganarse la vida.
Inmediatamente y sin tener en cuenta de nada, la tortuga entró en el bosque. Allí la tortuga se enfrentó a muchos retos y se enfrentó a ellos con valentía. Una fuerza de carácter innato allanó el camino para su viaje en la búsqueda de la respuesta. La vida y vivir eran grán amigos con ella.
Una vez, mientras ella se pasea en el bosque, vio a unos serpientes que comían las pequeñas tortugas de un nido de tortugas. Se detuvo y miró, mientras sus hermanos fueron comidos como para una fiesta. Viendo su corazón desgarrado, derretió el corazón blando de Willful. Ella dijo a sí misma "¿Cómo la naturaleza es cruel, que permite a un ser más fuerte de escapar con ese acto atroz, CRUEL! CRUEL! CRUEL! ", ella lloró. Lloró durante horas y días, días y meses y, a continuación, que finalmente declaró: "Yo he encontrado que mi respuesta" dijo con alegría "La vida después de la muerte es totalmente irrelevante para mí. "Según mí, todos deben vivir esta vida, este momento y plenamente en lo que se refiere, abrazar la muerte total. He llegado de ninguna parte pero estoy ahora aquí. Este es el mejor día de mi vida. Estoy cumplido."
Ella lloró de nuevo con lágrimas de aceptación de la verdad de que, LA VOLUNTAD A LA VIDA es inseparable de la naturaleza en sí misma. "La vida continúa a decir a todo el mundo, no cuida a sus preguntas inquisitivas, sus filosofías, y toda esta tontería; la Naturaleza sólo sabe una cosa así, que la vida de cualquier forma tiene que continuar y ésta es la única verdad eterna . La vida está llena de sufrimiento y el sufrimiento es constante. La realización del sufrimiento trae la felicidad", concluyó.
¿Cómo es que las pequenas, monas tortugas recién nacidos, una vez nacidos, de algún modo encuentran su camino hasta el mar? Todo que la mamá de tortugas hace es poner los huevos y va a su camino. ¿Qué cruel!
Willful: la naturaleza no es cruel ni simpática, sino está en la forma en que está! La naturaleza muestra el camino (que nosotros tortugas) en aras de la supervivencia. Usted puede llamarla la conciencia colectiva o la voluntad de la vida, la naturaleza tratará de proteger a sus niños, sus especies, pero cuando el momento de su desamparo y debilidades están expuestos, Naturaleza va a ver la muerte de una vida, para el nacimiento de un otro. Ésta es la forma que lo es!

How do the newly born, cute little turtles once hatched, somehow find their way into the sea? All that the mama turtle does is lay the eggs and goes its way. How Cruel?
Once Willful, the young turtle asked her friend, "Willless is there life after death? I dont know he said, maybe there is life after death. Why dont you ask and seek the answer yourself, he continued... after all we are intelligent individuals with enquiring questions such as this one! " Willful walked on the shore restlessly, desperately trying to find a quick and satisfying answer.
Willful and willless were the of best friends on the beach. They shared experiences, good and bad. They almost always spoke for long hours, discussing life and lliving.
Willless spoke "Riding the 'right tide of life' is not easy with the wrong way of living. One can lead a life in which he/she has got all that was desired without bothering about the way he/she took to lead that life. In short life and living should be in harmony, otherwise people around us are going to suffer, we will lead a life that we wanted, at the expense of others's suffering. And while others around us are suffering, it is apathetic to enjoy ourselves". "You are a loser Willless that is why you speak thus", Willful said. You have not experienced anything in life. And so she walked off.
Willless sat there, contemplating over the element of truth in the words of Willful. He was a very wise person, so he swallowed the bitter pill and embraced the moment of truth.
I am going Willful said, you can come along if you want, declaring her wish to end the sad conversation which was really far too condescending and patronising for her liking. I am going into the woods to seek the answer myself as you just instructed me. "Dont" Willless said " No you dont start all over again i am going to be what i will be" shouted Willful. Willless thought "she will find her answers" and headed to the ocean to continue his job and make a living.
And without for once paying heed the she turtle darted into the woods. There the she turtle faced many challenges and faced them boldly. An innate strength of character paved way for her journey into the quest for the answer. Life and living were both great friends to her.
Once, while she was strolling in the woods she saw a few snakes eat small baby turtles from a turtle NEST. She stopped and looked on helplessly while her brothers and sisters were getting munched for a feast. Their heart getting ripped apart, melted the soft heart of Willful. She said to herself "How cruel nature is, a being stronger is allowed to get away with such a heinous act, CRUEL! CRUEL! CRUEL! she wept" She wept for hours and days, days and months and then she finally declared "I have found my answer she beamed with joy" Life after death is totally irrelevant to me. "According to me everyone must live this life, this moment fully and when it comes, embrace death totally. I have come from being nowhere to being now here!". This is the greatest day of my life. I am fulfilled.
She wept again with tears of acceptance of the truth that, WILL TO LIFE is inseparable from the nature itself. "Life goes on she said to the whole world, it does not care for your enquiring questions, your philosophies, and all that bunkum; Nature knows only one thing well, that life in any form has to continue and this is the only eternal truth. Life is full of suffering and suffering is constant. The realisation of the suffering brings bliss, she concluded.
How do the newly born, cute little turtles once hatched, somehow find their way into the sea? All that the mama turtle does is lay the eggs and goes its way. How Cruel?
Willful: Nature is not cruel or kind, it is just the way it is! The nature shows the way (to us turtles) towards survival. You can call it collective conscious or Will to Life, nature will try and protect its children, its species, but when the moment its weaknessess and helplessness are exposed, Nature will watch the death of one life, for the birth of another. This is the way it is!

And while others around us are suffering, it is apathetic to enjoy ourselves". "You are a loser Willless that is why you speak thus", Willful said. You have not experienced anything in life. And so she walked off.
Willless sat there, contemplating over the element of truth in the words of Willful. He was a very wise person, so he swallowed the bitter pill and embraced the moment of truth.
I am going Willful said, you can come along if you want, declaring her wish to end the sad conversation which was really far too condescending and patronising for her liking. I am going into the woods to seek the answer myself as you just instructed me. "Dont" Willless said " No you dont start all over again i am going to be what i will be" shouted Willful. Willless thought "she will find her answers" and headed to the ocean to continue his job and make a living.
And without for once paying heed the she turtle darted into the woods. There the she turtle faced many challenges and faced them boldly. An innate strength of character paved way for her journey into the quest for the answer. Life and living were both great friends to her.
Once, while she was strolling in the woods she saw a few snakes eat small baby turtles from a turtle NEST. She stopped and looked on helplessly while her brothers and sisters were getting munched for a feast. Their heart getting ripped apart, melted the soft heart of Willful. She said to herself "How cruel nature is, a being stronger is allowed to get away with such a heinous act, CRUEL! CRUEL! CRUEL! she wept" She wept for hours and days, days and months and then she finally declared "I have found my answer she beamed with joy" Life after death is totally irrelevant to me. "According to me everyone must live this life, this moment fully and when it comes, embrace death totally. I have come from being nowhere to being now here!". This is the greatest day of my life. I am fulfilled.
She wept again with tears of acceptance of the truth that, WILL TO LIFE is inseparable from the nature itself. "Life goes on she said to the whole world, it does not care for your enquiring questions, your philosophies, and all that bunkum; Nature knows only one thing well, that life in any form has to continue and this is the only eternal truth. Life is full of suffering and suffering is constant. The realisation of the suffering brings bliss, she concluded.
How do the newly born, cute little turtles once hatched, somehow find their way into the sea? All that the mama turtle does is lay the eggs and goes its way. How Cruel?
Willful: Nature is not cruel or kind, it is just the way it is! The nature shows the way (to us turtles) towards survival. You can call it collective conscious or Will to Life, nature will try and protect its children, its species, but when the moment its weaknessess and helplessness are exposed, Nature will watch the death of one life, for the birth of another. This is the way it is!

Dear Priya
How are you ? I think you should visit
Spanish version
Querida Priya
¿Cómo estás?
Creo que deberías visitar París para tus vacaciones el próximo mes. París es una ciudad hermosa, con ríos, museos y edificios históricos. Los Campos de lysee y el Museo del Louvre son excelentes. También se puede viajar por Francia y caminar en el campo. El clima es agradable, pero las personas no son así. Si no hablas francés, no van a responder a usted en español. Disfruta de tus vacaciones!
