Buenas noches comapñeros!
There will be an (optional, just like all these classes) class tommorow at noon at the corner of Bay and Strachan, where the big sign that says Bayfront park is? (Near Hutch's restaurant). If you can make it, great.
It was so nice to meet some of you in our class today! I thought I'd post some notes about some of the things we talked about today, so you can refresh your memories.
Lo mas importante es..[the most important is]
¿Como se dice ____ ? (how do you say ____)
¿ Que significa _____? (what does ____ mean)
These are language tools we use to get more language.
Other things we said were (I'm not gonna say learned, because this idea that you learn a language thing after 1 exposure to it is total crap)
como te llamas? (what is your name?)
Me llama Megan. (my name is Megan. Useful if your name is Megan)
y tu? (and you?)
Como estas? (how are you?)
bien. y tu? (good, and you
mucho gusto (nice to meet you)
Soy anthropologia. (I'm an anthropologist. Useful if you happen to be an anthropologist :).)
Soy trabajadora. Soy estudiante. Soy anarchista. (I'm a worker. I'm a student. I'm an anarchist)
Soy de Toronto. (I'm from Toronto)
Hablo español una poco. (I speak a little spanish)
Entiendo español. (I understand spanish)
yo no sé = i don't know
como?= (What? as in, what did you say?)
mas despacio por favor = more slowly please
mas o menos = more or less
If you particularly liked or disliked some aspects of the class, or would like to look at something in specific next time, please comment below or email me. Also, if you have any cool language resources/tips/tricks you want to share post it in the comment section as well.

This online dictionary is really awesome, I use it every day. There are also forums that will help you with your spanish questions, and an online verb dictionary.
