Hi OM - how about learning some Spanish the DFW way in time for your hols?

If you find something good - let me know

newcook

Si! ola, como est a?! - yes! hello, how are you?

beyen grathias! et u? - good thanks! and you?

doth thervetha por va vor - 2 beers please (very important phrase!)

hasta luago! - see you later


pleasant conversation and you get refreshment!!!!

if you want more let me know - I know basic spanish like how to ask where the bus stop is and ordering coffee but anything more advanced is beyond me!!!!!

I've asked for a basic Spanish book for the last couple of years at Christmas and not got one yet! I found a CD in the drawer from ages ago recently, it was a freebie from a newpaper, and is basic Spanish, so I will have a listen to that at some point. I enjoy languages. I did Russian at school (I kid you not!) as well as French and German, i'll wow you all with a few phrases of Spanish at some point when I get around to it!!!!

I treated myself to two books last night from Amazon Marketplace. They were 1p each plus £2.75 postage. I bought "The Little Book of Stress: Calm Is for Wimps, Get Real, Get Stressed " and "The Little Book of Management B*llocks". I thought, if Cruella can talk it, I might as well learn as well - and for just 1p each, I think I will have a good laugh the DFW at the same time!

Excellent - throw in the odd Management B*llocks phrase from time to time; I like it!

How about 'let's weigh anchor on that and see where it drifts'........
to be used I believe when the CEO talks b*ll*cks and you want him to drop it.....

Dare you to use it..........

I don't think I could bring myself to say it!!!!!

I've never used 'singing from the same hymn sheet', 'thinking outside the box' etc.........

maybe if i'm feeling brave (and get over the fact I'll sound like a prat!!!!!!!!) I will one day!

I'm the same - I can't keep a straight face for a start off.

So no "holistic approach" for you then?

No "grabbing your bull by the balls" and "mixing your matadors"?

oakdale_minx

No..........'it's all good'..............

god, I hate that one!!!!!! :eek:

'its all good babes' is even worse...
