Day 58
Spanish
Flash card review
Notes in Spanish – unit 2 (audio)
PMP: Basic lección siete: la comida y las bebidas (food and drink) , plus
regular –ER verbs. I learned the following: ”El cerebo del mono es una
delicadeza en partes de China” – yikes! (roughly translated: “In parts of
China, monkies are well advised to wear helmets.”)
ASL
did not do any studying, because laziness.

It actually says that monkey brains are a delicacy in some parts of China. Although seeing monkeys wearing helmets
would definitely be far odder. ¡Espero que estés disfrutando del castellano!

I think the idea was that if monkey brains are a delicacy then they should be using helmets to help prevent their brains from being eaten. Spanky chose to translate the idea at the expense of being slightly less literal :P
Even if i don't have much to say, i really enjoy reading your log.

Gracias as always for the kind words Crush, and Vos, thanks, I am enjoying
español and I am jealous of your focus, something I lack entirely for the most part. I
hope soon to be writing more en español (pero no es posible ahora) and I will be
grateful for any and all corrections when I misstep, which I plan on doing so much
perhaps I (rather than the monkees*) should be wearing the helmet
*just for a change of pace, I thought I would go with this spelling of Monkees, as in
The, as my minor nostalgic nod to many wasted afternoon tv sessions in my youth.
The Monkees
