FIESTA

One of my all time faves: FIESTA, by The Pogues. A brilliant song with a blend of Spanish typicality and folklore.
Hope you like it as much as I do.

REQUESTS:

Para pedir (lo que sea), en inglés tenemos estas dos expresiones. Ignora su significado literal, porque en lo que tenemos que fijarnos es en su equivalente en español.

Can I have...? ¿Me das...?

I'd like... Quiero...

Para ofrecer (cosas, hacer algo (un verbo, que ha de ir con to)):

OFFERS:

Would you like...? ¿Quieres...?

Recuerda la pronunciación de would:

• no es /bud/


• no es /gud/


• trata de pronunciar una u, sacando los labios y sin cerrarlos: prueba a hacer: ua, ue, ui, uo, uu... ud
