Learn Spanish in 5 Minutes
We are praying God will send some short-term teams in 2013 to work alongside us in Church Planting. Spanish is a great help-so here is a Spanish lesson in 5 minutes!
Eight phrases you will hear in Colombia!
- A la orden- Frequent response when someone asks a person to do something. Means: You tell me what to do and I will do it!
- Para servirle- Frequently heard as you walk into or past a store. The clerk is telling in you- I am here to serve you!
- Chévere- Cool!
- Miércoles- Literally means Wednesday but is used in the same way English speakers use Shoot!
- No sea sapo- Literally means Don´t be a toad! In Colombia it means- Don´t butt into something that isn´t your business.
- Pelado- Literally means Bald but in Colombia it means- A teenager.
- Regular o tres cuatros- Literally means Regular or 3/4s but in Colombia it is a common response to How are you?
- ¿Qué pasa chino?- Translation is What´s happening Chinese person but in Colombia it means What´s up?
If you are interested in coming with a short-term team in 2013, please let us know. We are PARA SERVIRLE!
