#043
Last week two British guys went to a Spanish beach.
āLetās walk to the beach and have lunch there.ā
āOk greatā¦ where will we eat?ā
āThere are lots of chiringuitos on the beach.ā
āLots of what?ā My friend asked, confused.
āChi-rin-gui-tosā, I said, pointing at one. āThey serve food.ā
āLike a beach bar?ā
āUmm, yea I suppose. A beach bar.ā
āOk coolā¦ chi-rin-gui-toā, He said slowly, practicing the new word.
āBut now that I think about it, they arenāt just on the beach. Some parks have them too. They are like a bar, but always outside. We donāt really have a word for them in English.ā
āDonāt worry, I get it.ā
āYou will like it. SĆ a los chiringuitos!ā
But that reference he didnāt get.
Naturally we had an ice-cream after lunch
This weekās 3 tips:
