Yeah I misheard the person I asked and didn’t notice the rule break.  ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯ edited to fix it.

Hope you don’t mind some corrections. “Yo quiero come muchos tacos…” should be “Yo quiero comer muchos tacos…” similarly “…bebe unas micheladas…” should be “…beber unas micheladas…” I’m having difficulties explaining why exactly. It has to do with the conjugation of words.

Yeah accent marks are difficult for me too. I know they’re important and can change the entire meaning of words or sentences but wow I can not keep track of those things.

Si tu, o otros, quieren puedo contestar cuál quier pregunta que tienen. Bueno ayudo como puedo. El español que yo sé es más de la calle. Y no hago promesas que contestó 100% correcto. Pero hago lo que puedo.

By the way great reasons to travel. I would recommend adding tacos de trumpo to that list though. I forget what it’s called in other countries but its layers of meat on a big skewer that spins slowly near a fire. The cook then slices off the outer meat and puts it on the tortilla. Good stuff. But make sure it’s actually cooked on a skewer some places just season some meat and cook it on a stove. It’s not bad but not as good.

Disclaimer the spanish I know is Mexican spanish. I know very little about spanish from other places. Enough to understand what’s being said but not much more than that.

Those darn squiggles will get me in trouble one day I swear. I almost never write in spanish. My knowledge comes from listening to or speaking the language. Add in some dyslexia and yeah I mess up accent marks like crazy :/ Thanks for pointing it out. Main comment has now been edited.

Loo and basin are toliet and sink right? Either way “baño” can be a room with or without a bathtub/shower. People understand you based on context and tone. So “Necesito un baño.” Could mean either “I need to pee/poo.” Or “I need a shower/bath.” Depending where and how you say it. Obviously you’re not going to ask about taking a shower at a restaurant. Or maybe you are I’m not going to judge but you’ll be shown to a room with just a toliet and sink. Tone wise for shower think how you’d say you need a shower after a long hot day doing manual work.

The above is using informal, technically wrong, spanish. Because a shower is “duchar” though practically no one uses that word anymore. Some sentences would be:

• “Me voy a ducharme.” “Me voy a duchar” or “Voy a ducharme” = I’m going to take a shower.
• “Estaba duchañdome.” = I was taking a shower.
• “Necesito una duche.” = I need a shower.

My guess it’s easier to use baño for both shower and bath. Plus for people that know English it sounds to much like douche. Much like “Voy a molestar me hermano.” is a perfectly fine sentence meaning “I’m going to annoy my brother.” But to english ears it sounds to close to “I’m going to molest my brother.”

To end on a fun note. You can say “Voy agarrar un baño.” Which could be word for word translated as “I’m going to take a bathroom.” But of course you’re not going to take an entire room from someones house or business. Actual meaning is “I’m going to go take a shower.” Still the idea of someone just yoinking an entire room is pretty amusing. At least it is to me.

“¿Esto es un baño?” Would be “Is this a bathroom?” If you were pointing at the door I think any spanish speaker would understand. Though I would use “¿Aque es el baño?” Which would be closer to “Is this the bathroom?”

If you weren’t pointing at a door and want to ask where the bathroom is it’d be “¿Dónde está el baño?” Translation: “Where is the bathroom?”. Other options are

• “¿Me enseñas dónde está el bano?” = Can you show me where the bathroom is?

• “¿Puedo usar tu baño?”= Can I use your bathroom?

• "¿Tienen un baño que puedo usar?= Do you have a bathroom I could use? Or just “¿Tienen un baño?”= Do you have a bathroom.

“Lo siento no habló español” is “I’m sorry I don’t speak Spanish.” Alternatives:

• “Lo siento no habló hablo mucho español.” = I’m sorry I dont speak much spanish.
• “Lo siento no sé mucho español.” = I’m sorry I don’t know a lot of spanish.
• “Lo siento nomas sé poquito español.” = I’m sorry I only know a little spanish.
• “Lo siento nomas puedo hablar poquito español.” = I’m sorry I can only speak a little spanish.

Either sentence could be started with a form of “disculpa”. But honestly my thumbs are getting tired of typing so I’m just going to leave it there.

Roughly four months after being run over and rendered bed bound my mom is taking the next step in her recovery. Literally. She’s been okayed to start walking. She recently went to her first physical therapy session and is working on getting that leg strength back. Still a ways from walking even with a walker but hey progress is progress.

My lemongrass plant that I tend to neglect is showing signs of life. Seriously I haven’t changed the pot or soil of it in at least two years now. Not to mention the amount of times I forget to give it water. It’s a miracle the poor thing has lasted this long really. But today I noticed some new growth so that’s cool.

🤦🏾‍♀️ oh wow. My phone decided to make multiple comments while in my pocket. Sorry about that.

Since I now feel obligated to actually comment here’s a pic of a dog I saw recently. I just happened to turn when I saw the cutie staring back at me :) I got a good laugh out of it. So that was nice.

Ha I also just finished watching the first season. Based on the time you posted this there’s a good chance we were watching it at the same time.

I’ve always just left it attached to the main part. My family’s always sliced the pineapple into disks then cut those into 4ths. You end up with a small part of core per piece.

If you want to get more out of pineapples did you can use the rinds? It’s a fermented drink called tepache. It’s the rinds of a pineapple, water, and a type of brown sugar called piloncillo. I’ve never heard of using the core in it but I dont see why you couldn’t add it in. I say add because the rind is where the fermenting bacteria comes from.

Different person chiming in. I like to start with a small bite just enough to have a hole for the juice to come out. From there I squeeze it a little and just suck out the juice. Sometimes I leave just enough to not have a completely dry tomato. I feel like the juice adds to the flavor. Nine times out of ten that’s enough to not make a mess. For the really juicy ones though there’s still plenty of juice in he second half of the tomato. So I bite just a bit, suck out some juice, then finish the bite. Like some sort of weird tomato vampire.

Normally I eat a tomato with a little salt sprinkled on each bite. After that first nibble though I pour a good amount of salt on before I suck out the juice. That way the ratio a tomato taste to salt remains yummy. I’ve also tried tajin instead of salt. Its different. Not bad mind you but I’d say more of a once in awhile combination just to change it up from the reliable tomato and salt combo.
