Hola Aprendices de Español!

Brace yourselves as we dive into our latest newsletter peppered with puns, jokes and some handy new words like 'aquí', 'en lugar de' and 'condado' to expand your Spanish dictionary. So, are you ready to take your Spanish skills to the moon? (More on that in a bit...)

aquí

This adverb describes location, pointing to or specifying that something or somebody comes to the place the speaker is referring to.

Here's how to use it:

  • Aquí vivimos nosotros.
  • Aquí come mi perro.
  • Aquí se hacen pasteles.

en lugar de

The Spanish phrase 'en lugar de' is used in the place of 'instead' in English. It is used to suggest a contrary action or show an alternative. For instance, 'I had tea en lugar de coffee' would mean 'I had tea instead of coffee'.

Here's how to use it:

  • Deberías considerar el autobús en lugar de un taxi
  • Manejo un coche eléctrico en lugar de uno de gasolina
  • En lugar de quejarte, podrías ayudar

condado

The Spanish word 'condado' translates to 'county' in English. It refers to a territorial division of a country, defined for political, administrative and geographical purposes. Depending on the context, it can also refer to a domain associated with a count (a noble rank in certain European countries). It can be used in a sentence to denote the geographical or administrative area, for example 'El condado de Los Angeles es muy grande'.

Here's how to use it:

  • El condado de Los Angeles es muy grande.
  • Vive en el condado de Orange.
  • El gobierno del condado proporciona servicios a sus residentes.
