Brits are happiest when talking about the weather. Fact.

The weather: A very British subject. If Brits get a chance to comment on the weather we will....whether it be hot, cold, wet or dry, we will have something to say on the subject. Which is why I have particularly enjoyed this episode of Bueno, entonces..., focusing on, guess what...THE WEATHER!

Thank God! Do you know how hard it has been for me not to be able to make weather-related small talk in Spanish?! (I make weather-related small talk, but only David could make weather chat somehow relate to sex and his passion for Jimena, and that is exactly what he does!)

Many of the 'palabras de clima' sound appropriate to the weather conditions they are naming,and I learn really well by playing word association games, so this is good for me. For example (or should I say por ejemplo, like Jimena) 'Viento' means wind- so naturally my immediate chain of thought leads me to think of an air vent- and voila! wind. 'Nublado' means clouds, and that is easy as I can relate it to a cloud formation, but my favourite is 'tormenta' meaning storm- the perfect palabra to describe a storm that torments our trees and roof tiles etc!

Talking of torment...listening to David caterwauling his way through 'like a virgin' whilst similtaneously translating it from English to Spanish is torture...this has to be the worst 5 minutes of Bueno, entonces... I have watched so far, even the prepositions section was a welcome relief!

Despite the fact that David tries to woo Jimena at every given opportunity, he claims he has been getting on very well with his neighbour. Obviously we can only take his word for it, but it will be interesting so see how this turns out!
