A prompt to study Spanish in your mailbox?


I've been getting daily new words for a couple years now, and I find that sometimes they build-up unread. Maybe you'd be better at deleting them to clear your in-box. I try to read them all...some stick.

It is Dictionary.com's Spanish Word of the Day.

Go here and sign-up on the upper right corner.

I've often heard myself apologize for my espanol saying: Poco a poco. This is a good poco I think.




Undoubtedly, there are people who cannot afford to give the anchor of sanity even the slightest tug. Sam Harris

"The situation is far too dire for pessimism."
Bill Kauth

Carl Sagan said, "We are a way for the cosmos to know itself."

Dos para la lista de los automobilistas:

  1. aparatoso
  2. homocinética


Unfortunately I didn't get these from my e-mail. An oil seal is a: cello, or usually a retenor. The axle is the: eje. The bearings are :valeros, and the hub is the: masa. :(

Thank you. I only heard them spoken. Your spellings ARE correct.

When I go back to the books, I am often surprised that my mental spelling of words I've learned doesn't match-up with the way they are really spelled! Damn it is going to take a long time to get this effort scraped into a nice tight pile!
