Che! Guevara? Buludo!!!

Class four of Bueno, entonces..., and I’m now really finding out how useful these Spanish classes are…I finally know what it means when I hear the Argentine yoof saying ‘Che… Che…. Che!’ every other sentence- is just their way of over-using ‘dude’. There I was thinking they are all budding revolutionaries…

One of my favourite things about Bueno, entonces... so far is the fact that I am learning practical Spanish as well as the verb forms and grammar etc…there is no way I could understand the average Porteno if I only learnt the proper way to speak, there is so much ‘lunfando’ or slang here, so what Jimena is teaching David is really useful to me. This is a much more up-to-date way to learn Spanish than the Rosetta Stone, and it’s pretty fun…my roommates were laughing out loud when they came in to find David and I attempting tongue twisters and practicing rolling our RRRRs- at least they cant see David’s face! And we are all eagerly following the budding relationship between David and Jimena (she’s never going to leave the lindo lawyer!!)

The little facts that pop up in Bueno, entonces... are really interesting and useful, this class taught me a little about the history of Tango, and then jumped into discussing the usage of ‘Buldito’ meaning… well, actually, I’m not telling you, you’re going to have to watch it to find out!
