Today in Spanish class we read this text which I found pretty funny and have therefore decided to share with you:

El diario de Prudencio, hipocondríaco sin remedio.Lunes

We started with the A2 book this semester. It's still going pretty slowly but at least it's thorough. :)

In that case I think a conversation course would be better! :) Any kind of practice is good, though. I've been practising a lot on Twitter and I think I've improved a bit over the past few weeks. ;)

Bummer about the salsa class!!

That patient would drive any doctor crazy. LOL

[txorakeriak]

Hehe, yes, he would!

We had to write a dialogue for the patient and the doctor for one of those days and this is what my neighbour and I came up with (full of mistakes, probably, but we haven't learned the subjunctive or the imperative yet so we cannot be blamed! XD):

D: ¿Qué tal usted hoy?

P: ¡Estoy muy mal! Me duele la garganta, tengo tos, y además me duele el estómago. Por favor, doctor, ¡cúrame ahora!

D: ¿Cuántas aspirinas ha tomado esta semana?

P: Tomé unos treinta aspirinas ayer porque me doló demasiado la cabeza. Pero estoy seguro que las aspirinas no sean culpables de mi enfermedad. Fueron aspirinas de la farmacia.

D: ¡Dios mío! Tomó demasiadas aspirinas! Por favor no tome ninguna medicina más!

XDDD

Full of mistakes... ha! I can only spot one and like you said, if you haven't learned the imperative yet, then it's bound to happen (in the "cúrame ahora" bit you should only change the a for an e. Don't tell your Spanish teacher I told you that. :P )

[txorakeriak]

Haha, I won't! I think she's fed up with me already for always asking questions about stuff we haven't learned yet! XDDD

Thank you!!

Jaja this is cute! And humor is such a great way to go about language instruction, so I have to give props to your teacher, too! XD

[txorakeriak]

That's true! XD

Btw, today we listened to a bit on CD where the hypochondriac, Prudencio, is going to the chemist's and pretty much buying everything there is. XDDD
