This blog is under remodeling so currently the Pages are empty. It's going to take a while for me to finish it, so bear with me.

In the meantime, feel free to browse through the archives! I have over 40 Spanish language learning posts.

Important Announcement! Changing the blog's name!

As we all know, I don't post daily. So, I've decided to change the blog name to "
Your Simple Pinch of Spanish" instead of "Your Daily Pinch of Spanish".

I am also going to change the blog's layout and theme to make it more accessible and easy to use. I realize with this theme it's kind of hard to access my older posts, and so I'm going to organize everything to make it easier to use. <3

Another thing that went into my decision to change my blog's name is, as I've let you all know before, when I ended my previous website someone decided to buy the domain and keep my original content without my authorization. (I mean it's okay for them to buy the domain name, since I deleted my site, but it was NOT okay to steal my original posts.)

Because of that reason I had decided to keep my previous blog name, so that people would know it was me here, and not a copycat. But even when I had the website I had decided I wanted to change the blog name, because when I chose that name, I was home without a job and without college, so I had all the time in the world to blog, and because of that, I decided to make a daily blog to keep my mind busy and have fun sharing my native language with people who wanted to learn it.

Now I believe that, I should just ignore that person who stole my original content, and continue to create more new content, whenever I can, and just because I want to.
It still hurts to see that my content hasn't been removed from the site, and that someone else is using it with no shame (I even sent an email to an address that now appears at the top of the page, and had no reply from the shameless people.)

Eventually it will stop hurting. I know that the people who follow my content know that I am now on Blogspot. Anyway, whoever stole my content never wrote original content of themselves; they just posted some photos on my original posts, and posted "by Susan" at the bottom... So these people are just taking advantage of others since they have no talent of their own.

I expect to dedicate more to this blog soon. I'm currently working on two novels, so I haven't had much time to blog. If you want to know more about my blogs, follow me on Tumblr! In my Tumblr blog you have ALL the links to every single thing I do online.

Thank you for your support, and I will see you soon. :)

Well guys, I haven't gotten around to writing a new post in ages!
Not only because of the hurricane Maria and all that, which left us without energy or internet, or even phone! for months, but also, I haven't had much motivation, you know?

A big part of is that I'm a little afraid of the same person that still keeps my original content from my old blog, stealing my content again. I went there the other day and I saw that the page was gone, but I visited the page again today and I saw that my old content is STILL there and hasn't been removed by whomever acquired my old web address. I guess getting a website name was a huge mistake because it was just too expensive to maintain for me, and I had to drop it, and now that person bought my old website name and kept like a ghost version of my old website even though I deleted it. I don't understand. Anyway, whenever I think about this blog, I think about that mess and feel kind of awful. I just have to accept that these annoying, awful things happen on the internet, and that I just have to ignore it and continue to create my original content, without fear.

I hope you guys forgive my lack of posting, and can stick around for some more Spanish lessons.
In the meantime, I have a lot of posts that you can benefit from. Browse the blog, and I hope you can find the information I've shared here useful. :)

How to say you have an itch in Spanish

Hello everyone! ¿Cómo están hoy? (How are you today?)

I haven't been posting new Spanish lesson blogs in a long time, partly because of the hurricances leaving me without electricity and internet (I live in Puerto Rico), and partly because I was a little disappointed that my website was stolen and is still being used by someone else (someone names Susan, apparently?) after I deleted it to pass all the content to this blog, which is free and easier to use. But not I hope I can make it work here. I don't know how many people follow the blog, but I like posting Spanish lessons. (I just wish I hadn't chosen the word "daily" since we all know how good I am at "daily" lol).

Ok, without further ado, here's today's short Spanish lesson! :)

I chose to make it about itch, because I've been crazy with allergies these days, and my eyes just won't stop itching. haha

Vocabulary:

Itch - Picor (pee-cohr)

To be itchy/ To have an itch - Tener un picor (teh-nehr oon pee-cohr)

(Something) is itchy - Da picor (dah pee-cohr)


Additional vocabulary (for the examples):

Camisa - Shirt (kah-me-sah)

Ojo - Eye (oh-hoh)

Todo - Everything (toh-doh)

Tener - To have (Teh-nehr) (Tengo - I have) (Ten-goh)


Examples:

Tengo picor - I have an itch

Esa camisa da picor - That shirt is itchy

Me pica el ojo - My eye is itchy

Eso da picor - That (thing) is itchy

Me pica todo - Everything is itchy

I hope this short lesson was easy to understand. I hope I can come back with more lessons soon. Thank you for your support! I hope I can be at least of a little help for your Spanish learning journey. :)
