Hola! Do you remember back in August I posted on the blog about Gritty Spanish? And I gave
you 7 ways that you can use Gritty Spanish to get more out of it. Today I want to go
a little bit more in depth, and actually show you one of those ways. So I've teamed up with
Gritty Spanish again to bring you this video, where we're going to look at some naughty
words. We're going to be talking about episode 4, which is called Chat with Bartender or
Charla con la Camarera del Bar. Perfecto. Let me show you what we're gonna do in more
detail. Ok, so here's the dialogue for episode 4. English and Spanish. Next to each other,
nice and clear, you know. You can either cover one and read one as you listen, or cover the
other one, or just kind of skim across both. And here, this is gonna be our naughty words
chart for this episode. So I've done it kind of like a mind map. So I've just put naughty
words in the middle. Verbs, nouns and other. Ok, so here's the tracks in iTunes. Chat with
Bartender, that's what we want. Fast..the normal speed and the slow one. We're gonna
go for normal speed. And back, quick! Before the story starts. (Spanish) So now we've listened
to the dialogue, we're gonna read the Spanish side of the transcript and see if we can figure
out what those little sweary words might mean. I'm gonna write these on a blank page, not
directly onto the mind map so that I can, you know, figure out where I am and then I'm
gonna check them and correspond them with the English side of the transcript. Ok so
the first bit's pretty innocent. They're talking about drinks...When it gets, I would say here,
'otras mierdas nuevas'. Qué maldita. I like this. It's like an expression. I kind of do
know what some of them mean but I'm writing them down for your benefit too! Ahh! Ooo!
Ooo! This is a naughty word. Joder. Montón de hierba. Hmm, yes, I'm guessing that here,
this does have a slight, err, naughty connotation. Next step is to go through our list and to
correspond with the English, and just get an idea of these words 'cause sometimes when
they're in context, for example 'mierda' when she's talking about the drinks, sorry, when
Rodri is talking about the drinks he says 'mierda' and he's obviously not saying that
as a negative word. So, looking at the context now and seeing what they mean. Ok, so this
is our list, 'mierdas'. I know you always come up with some new beep! Ok, you can see
the word if you...! Ok, so next up on the list, amargo is definitely, you know, bitter,
saboroso definitely tasty. But the other two, let's see, 'berry sour tasty splash'. So we
can cross it off the potential swear list. And this is exactly why. Let's see what they
mean - 'qué maldita'. What the f-u-c-k. That is the perfect example of an 'other' one.
Qué maldita! Ah ha. Joder. Te puede joder. It can really eff you up. Marica, marica.
So we're on the next page now...we say...él está tan borracho ese marica. Hierba, there
it is. Hierba. Just from that one video, we've got a nice collection of one, two, three,
four, five, six. Six different naughty words and expressions. I'd recommend using them
in informal situations. Even if you don't swear much in real life, I think these words
are really useful, like for if you're watching TV, if you're listening to Spanish music,
or if, you know, someone takes a dislike to you. Kind of cool if you know what they're
saying and how offensive they're being and what you need to say back. So in this video,
I just wanted to show you, you know, focus really on one way that you can take more from
Gritty Spanish and that was in finding the naughty words and taking them and, you know,
extracting them. But that's just one way. Check the blog post. There's 6 other ways
that you can use Gritty Spanish and if you're interested visit www.grittyspanish.com and

Naughty naughty! Bueno, entonces, eso es. Hasta la semana proxima y muchas gracias!
Ciao, hasta luego!
