Spanish speakers and students often wonder
what the difference is between
allá
and
allí
.
Explain that they both mean “over there” and
either word can be used. Ask students to
think of three situations in which they would
use the words
allá
or
allí
.
TOTAL PHYSICAL RESPONSE (TPR)
r
Have students get in groups of four and write
sentences with
al lado de
using their
classmates and the vocabulary. For example:
Carlos está al lado de Mary.
r
Ask one person from each group to read
aloud the group's sentences while students
try to rearrange themselves into the
locations which they hear:
Carlos está al lado
de Mary.
(Carlos would then move next to
Mary.)
El Yunque
El Yunque
National Forest runs through the
center of the island of Puerto Rico. It is
commonly known as only
El Yunque
, a Spanish
approximation of the Taino word
Yu-ke
,
which experts think means “White Lands.”
To Spaniards, however, the lightning storms
that occur there reminded them of the sound
of a giant hammer hitting an anvil (
yunque
in Spanish).
