We looked at the four different meals Spanish people have:

El desayuno – breakfast, El almuerzo- lunch, La merienda (snacks at around 6.30, 7pm) y la cena- dinner.

For those meals come four verbs: desayunar (reg), almorzar(radical changing o>ue–> almuerzo…),merendar (radical changing e>ie –> meriendo) y cenar (reg)

Looked at vocab pages 58 and 59 and did listening ex 2page 59. Also looked at key phrases to order food or drinks in a restaurant with ex. 3 page 60.

Below is a list of important verbs when talking about food:

comer – to eat (reg), beber- to drink (reg), traer- to bring (first person traigo, rest reg), pedir- to ask for (radical changing e>i –> pido, pides etc…), poner- to put (first person pongo, rest reg pones, pone…), deber- to owe (reg) and desear = querer- to want (reg)

homework: ex 1, 2 and 3 page 110

In the last few lessons we revised the present tense and also learnt about adjectives using unit 6 of the book.

We also worked on a short film talking about everyday life.

Today we started working on describing people. We talked about hair colours / eye colours and learnt vocabulary about parts of your face.

Attached is a powerpoint with details about hair/ eye colours and you can use the last few slides to practise. If you want to write a description of these people and bring your work in next lesson, I’ll be more than happy to correct it for you.

Also below is a list of parts of the face –> la cara

Los ojos – eyes, las orejas: ears, el frente: forehead, el menton: chin, los carrillos: cheeks, la boca: mouth, los dientes / las muelas : teeth, la nariz: nose, el pelo: hair, el cuello: neck

Please note that there are lots of reflexive verbs. A reflexive verb expresses an action you are doing to yourself. For example: lavarse meant to wash (yourself) if you wash the car it is just lavar without the ‘se’.

Eg. Me lavo, te lavas, se lava, nos lavamos, os lavais, se lavan

LIstening exercise ex.4 p.52 to practise and writing ex.4p.105.

We also revised lots of irregular verbs including irregular first person and radical changing verbs.

Eg. salir, to go out–> salgo; poner, to put –> pongo; hacer, to do –> hago

and dormir, to sleep–> duermo; volver, to come back –> vuelvo (ex.1 p.105)
