¡Hola, aprendices de español!

Ready to amp up your Spanish skills with humor and brand-new words? ¡Vamos, let's dive in! In this edition, brace yourself for a garden-joke you can use to impress your friends and also learn new words like ciencia, común, mente, leche, hacia.

ciencia

In Spanish, 'ciencia' is the term for 'science'. This can be used in the same contexts as in English, including discussions about various academic and professional disciplines such as biology ('la ciencia de la biología'), education ('la ciencia de la educación'), and so on. It can also be used in broader phrases like 'la ciencia y la tecnología' (science and technology).

Here's how to use it:

  • La ciencia es importante.
  • La ciencia mejora nuestras vidas.
  • La ciencia ayuda a entender el mundo.

mente

The Spanish word 'mente' stands for the English term 'mind'. It is used commonly in Spanish to refer to the cognitive process of thought, the intellectual capacity of the brain, or to convey a person's state of thinking. It can be used in various contexts, whether in phrases, idioms, songs or literature, and can be used to describe both the physical organ and the abstract concept of one's consciousness.

Here's how to use it:

  • El bebe llora frecuentemente durante la noche.
  • Lee tranquilamente en el parque.
  • La niña corre alegremente por el jardín.

leche

'Leche' translates to 'milk' in English. From a glass of warm milk for breakfast to the use in different recipes, milk is an everyday item in Spanish-speaking cultures.

Here's how to use it:

  • Nosotros bebemos leche mientras vemos la película.
  • Quiero ver la película 'La Leche de la Madre'.
  • A Carlos le gusta la leche chocolatada

hacia

The Spanish word for 'toward' is 'hacia'. It is typically used to indicate the direction or orientation of something. For example, where in English you would say 'I am going toward the store', in Spanish you would say 'Voy hacia la tienda'. Just as in English, it can also be used in more abstract senses, like 'Hacia' can also mean 'towards' in the sense of being in favor of, or partial to, something or someone.

Here's how to use it:

  • Voy hacia la escuela
  • Hacia el futuro
  • Conducía hacia el centro
