Hello

how

WARNING: NSFW MATERIAL AHEAD.

A quick note before you continue: if you are easily offended or do not like foul language, don’t bother reading on.  Bueno, entonces… sees learning a language as something that should be fun, entertaining, and useful.  This means that we are willing to teach you things that you might hear on the street, but wouldn’t read in a text book.  If you don’t like our method of teaching, it’s probably best you go learn language from a more formal program like Rosetta Stone.

Okay, onto today’s lesson!

Surely you’ve noticed that we tend to focus on Argentine lunfardo (slang), piropos (pick-up lines), and insultos (insults).  Well, if you 1) don’t plan on going to Argentina anytime soon, 2) are interested in the slang of other countries, or 3) don’t really give a crap either way, today’s your lucky day!  We are going to teach you some of our favorite insultos and slang from various Spanish-speaking countries, so here it goes!

Chupame el pico (Chile) = Suck my dick

Dejí¡te de gí¼ear (Chile) = Stop f*cking around

Malparido (Colombia) = Waste of life (badly born)

Jalame el hule (Costa Rica) = Leave me alone (pull my rubber)

Malfallao (Spain) = Tightass (poorly f*cked)

Araña (Mexico) = Hoochie Mama (spider)

Lameculos (Spain) = Brown-noser (ass-licker)

Hijo de la Verga (Mexico) = Son of a Cock

Alright, so this obviously doesn’t cover all the countries, nor all the necessary phrases, but it at least gives you a bit of a base.

If you want to see the whole lot of slang, sign up for our newest, rudest, realest Free Slang Dictionary at http://f.generallinguistics.com/free-spanish-slang-dictionary/

Isn’t this a good way to learn Spanish?  1) fun, 2) entertaining, and 3) useful.  What more could you want?

PLUS, you’re way more likely to remember and use this stuff than, say, a worksheet of formal conjugations.  If you want to learn more about the Bueno, entonces… program, check out our language learning software website!http://www.generallinguistics.com

We offer over 18 hours of classes that are available on DVD or as a download for your computer, iPod, or iPhone.  And you can get the whole series for as low as $147 – if you’re a Facebook Fan, you get it for $97 (and you’ll learn tons of useful Spanish phrases while you’re at it)!

To master the Spanish language all you need is practice, and some mini lessons like the one we have for you today!

Demonstrative Pronouns:

Words like this and that not only function as adjectives in English, as in this hat or that tree, but can also be used as pronouns, such as You like this (one) and I like that (one).

There are also three neuter demonstrative pronouns that are used to refer to abstract concepts or unspecified objects. They’re also used when the speaker doesn’t necessarily have a specific noun in mind, so the gender in unknown.

It’s not that hard. But like everything else in Spanish, there are always exceptions to the rules, and you will just learn them with time.  As long as you keep somewhat of a sense of humor, believe us, it will be infinitely less painful!

There are lots of words in Spanish that have a double meaning and one of them is Huevos

In Bueno entonces we teach in a different way and that is why we are not afraid to teach you things that other Spanish classes never do! The proper translation of huevos is eggs, but in Spanish and in many other languages is also understood that huevos can refer to testicles. This has a psychological explanation and it’s known as the Law of Similarity, which states that ”elements within an assortment of objects will be perceptually grouped together if they are similar to each other.”

After that short contextualization about the reason why humans relate huevos to testicles, lets get to the practice. Below you will find examples on how to apply the word huevos with out sounding like an idiot!

Hay que ponerle huevos – Grow some balls and do it.

Poor fellow bad distribution of proportions

No me toques los huevos – dont play with me, meaning don’t play with my testicles.

Me pateaste los huevos – you messed up my plans

Me chupa un huevo – you dont give a shit

Calienta huevos – A girl that flirts with you all the time but she is only fooling around with you.

Quede a huevo – that you are not very happy with the result

Que huevos los tuyos -Someone who is brave

Do you know any other ways to use the word huevos? Feel free to comment below or on our Facebook fan page! http://www.facebook.com/buenoentonces

So let’s put some huevos on learning Spanish! ha ha ha. It’s important to know that regardless of the gender of the person we can use the word huevos to express situations, feelings etc.

From the streets of  La Rambla in Barcelona the band Macaco it’s a multicultural group of musicians from Spain, Sweden, Brazil, Cameroon and Venezuela.

Their reggae style sung in different languages include  español, portugués, francés,inglés, catalán and italiano and they have become one of the most popular bands from Spain! The name of the band comes from the word “Mico” which means monkey in Catalán, and was the nickname of the lead singer Daniel ‘Mono Loco’ Carbonell. The band name evolved to Macaco which is the Portuguese word for monkey.

Their first CD  El Mono en el Ojo del Tigre  was released in 1999 and sold well throughout Europe and Brazil. Their most successful single was Moving (watch it below) with lyrics focused on enviromental issues. The music video was filmed with the help of National Geographic, with several famous artists making guest appearances, can you spot them? Moving has been used in video game soundtracks, tv shows, and political campaigns.

So sing along with Macaco and the hit song MOVING! It has bits of Spanish and English so it’s perfect to practice!  But be warned it has a great tune and catchy lyrics that will probably be stuck in your head all day long.

SING ALONG!

MACACO – MOVING

Have you ever tried any aphrodisiac foods?

We don’t know how aphrodisiac food will get you to learn spanish, but this is Bueno, entonces… and we  figured out a way to link them both!  Or was it Quilmes beer?

This was an Ad for Quilmes beer, an icon in the argentine culture. We don’t know how argentines do it, but they definitely have that ability to pick up great insights!  Here is the ad with the translation.

Rough translation: These teammates are tearing into each other following a bad defeat during their soccer game. Unknowingly they step into the Aphrodisiac restaurant, and after digging into their food…everything changes…this is the priceless dialogue that follows:

“Umm, you know…you guys are my dream team”…“You know, I feel so much love for you guys…that I’m going to burst!”…“You chubby, you are the goalie of my life. You pick me up when I’m feeling down”…“I banged your sister…so I could be a part of your family! Brother-in-law!”…“Hey, waiter…I’m so…so HAPPY!!”

A dinner. A reunion. A Quilmes.
