Elections in Spain

Just a reminder: it is important to keep up with what is going on in our country. At this moment, I recommend you to get informed about the elections, the candidates and what people are talking about.

It gives you a feeling for what people are going through. In my experience, when I know what is going on, I feel I belong. I feel part of what is going on, if I can share my thoughts and be heard with respect. I have something intelligent to say because I have done my homework preparing myself for my comments. "Para tanto", it is is important to be informed.

Some good questions for your language exchange times:

1) Who are the candidates?

2) Where are they from?

3) What are their parties?

4) What are their main topics in their "discurso político"

One good source of information is:

Do you have other sources you would like to share. Please comment in this post.

Just a quick entry to share this website my husband just found. Our son is having some difficulties with Spanish Grammar and we find we are learning a lot as we help him.

So, how do you do with accents in Spanish? Do you want a quick explanation in English? Here it goes:

I hope you enjoy this website and, just like me, learn something new.
