One of our two assistant managers at the MB Study Hut is learning to speak Spanish!

Kristen has decided that since many of our tutors and both our co-owners speak Spanish, that she would learn the language as well.

Behind her desk, we have created a “Spanish Word of the Day” section, where it lists all the new words she has learned.

Other sections behind her desk include important fliers that we put up with important information regarding what’s going on at the Hut and courses that we are offering! She also has artwork and notes that her students have made for her.

Each day she is given a new word of the day, either by one of us that works at the Study Hut, or by a student that goes to the Study Hut. The students love it and many of them quiz her when they come in for tutoring to see if she remembers them.

She does well with the vocabulary words but she gets confused when we try to teach her to conjugate verbs. She is still trying to learn basic skills like the difference between the EL and LA articles before words for masculine/feminine.

Here are a list of some of her words:

Nadar: to swim

Bailar: to dance

galleta: cookie

la playa: the beach

Feliz Navidad: Merry Christmas

Gordo: fat

Gustar: To like

el juego: The game

Estoy en fuego: I’m on fire

Turquesa: Turquiose

dulce: candy

el barco: the boat

And many others!!

If you have any suggestions for words of the day.. you can e-mail samantha at samantha@studyhut.com

Or you can leave a comment below this post and we will be sure to make note of the new words of the day to add to Kristen’s wall.

We hope you have enjoyed this post!
