with the text of today. But in a little resume of what has passed. Never came well.

So in the chapter earlier, Isabel know a group of tourists that were

super majos and also discovered that a pair of this group was precisely of the place where

she had passed her luna of a Nardo, a place that's in the Salento

So we're so we're so we're so we're so we're so so we're so we're

going to since from the coffee break Spanish Cafit Capitulo Dye

like every every time have been to the bar my chikos

of so so I call the group of people

people major that came assidu M' Matti and

Francisco and Antonio and Jose with his spouses, Margarita and Nati. They've been more time than I, working in the bar,

vying almost a day-y-a-diery, and this not would be equal without them. They're tiernos and

really. If much me consider to me, Mama Isabel, or Tia Issa, they're, they're,

in doubt, the abuelos of this grand Amelia. Da Gust to see how they they're in all those.

The Jueves are geniales. A, about, a one of a school of a ballet, a day

a day a a year a same. As they say, to move the skeleton. But,

before, they're they're to be in the bar to take some binitos.

It's an an authentic plan-a-o. They're so that's they're living the life.

Before, they'd come three parishes. The Sir Matias is soltero and never

he unes to these but from the other of him, Francis,

he was a boyod, he was to and always me they're

a some and they make they're on the time I'm

have they're they're they're and the and the more

is that they have been to to get to

the next the day I'm going to a class of

I'm made feel a I've looked at last and I've thought in all those moments that I've been regalado. I'm feeling very

very happy to form part of this grand family that form us with all the clients of Casa, Issa, and Manu. Thanks to them, I'll go to terminate the day with a grand

a great sonrisa and the heart content. Ay, hey, how beautiful, that tierre. I'm Okay, let's go back through line by line and look at all the interesting aspects covered here.

As every Thursday afternoon, have been to alvar my chikos de Oro. So, that's a nice word of person major, that's iduamente. So it means regularly. Yes, yeah. As every Thursday afternoon,

like every Thursday afternoon, like every Juebis for the And I'm been to my golden boys came to the bar. So my golden boys came to the bar. That's what I call the group of elderly people,

that's what I call the group of elderly people, who come regularly. I'm thinking when you've said that's a word that bonita, that aciduamente denot much better that idea of cliente

leal, much better than if if we just said, regularly, assiduament, me Most very. So Mattias and Francisco and

Antonio and Jose with his esposas Margarita and Nati. So they are Matias and Francisco and

Antonio and Jose with their wives Margarita and Natty. Natty normally usually be diminutiv of the

name of Natalia but also of nativity I think Yeah. Very very.

They've more time than I working in the bar being almost

a day and this no would be like without so they've

more time than you working in the bar so this is quite

interesting because you could misinterpret this a little here they have

been around longer than I have been working at the bar

so I have been working in the bar I have been

working in the bar for long time but they have

more they've just been there longer being almost daily,

and this no seriae this place wouldn't be the same without them. Are they're tiernos and encantadores. This word tierno, we've come across it a lot in the scenes.

It's such a lovely word. It feels very tender and very nice. They're sweet. They're charming. Encanadores. If many me consider a me mom

Isabel or Tia Isa they're they're sure the abuelos

of this grand family okay if many people consider me

if many people consider me Mama Isabel to be Mommy Isabel or Mom

Isabel or Aunt Isa they are without doubt those

abuelos of this grand parents of this big family. Da gusto

how they're this is nice. Da gusto it's a pleasure to see. It gives

pleasure to see how they take care of each other, entre everyone, yeah,

yes, yes, those juebes are general a 10 minutes andando,

there a school of ballet to that they're a day a day to

a same, as they're they say to move the skeleton. It's a time that

this phrase the fact. The Jueves are great. A 10 minutes

and down about a 10 minute walk away literally 10 minutes away walking. There's a

dance school a that they van one day a a day a

time to which they go once a week, one day per week.

As they say, to move the skeleton, to shake their skeleton or something like that. But, before, always they're being for the bar to tomarse, some vignitos. I like. That's a little.

But before that, they always come by the bar, to have a few little wines, a few little glasses of wine. Yes, I'm when we say we're going to

talk about some vinyos, some can't do you know and we're a say that's a yeah,

that I think he he's emphatisa it's like emphatisa more the fact that

they're okay so it's it kind of just makes it more emphatic or

yeah it's more so that's interesting because what I was thinking of

it it felt to me that it makes it sounds casual and affectionate that they're coming to the bar. And the se vienen.

It's just nicer. It's tricky to use these kind of things because as a non-native speaker, you don't really know if this sounds right. So, yeah, they're in the bar to take a tautomarsie unso. Yes, yes, you're right. It's an authentic plan-azzo.

They're so much a good, Mark. It's an authentic plan-a-so. It's a fantastic plan. they just see that's si ke saven live the

they really know how to live life I love Eso S'i and this is the Siki

idea because you can throw it in everywhere and it just really reinforces things doesn't

do it Yeah, so we use a much you know you know I see that I'm

so I'm ever talked to you Pablo about what's the word for calcettines.

Carcetines? How do you say calcetines in English? Sox. And how do you spell that? S-O-C-K-S. Esos-C-E-S. that's

I never thought I never thought I never heard of this so it's always I remember writing this on the board in my classroom

when I would teach this phrase Eso si that's the life or whatever and I wrote up socks and all my pupils

were wondering what was he on about socks but that's so so so that's that's

that good that so so good we're going to pause there for a quick break

are doing what we're talking. I mean, they're so. They're so can't enjoy. Disfrut. Yes, yes. Okay, let's continue then. Before, So, a little more

Matias is soltero, and never he's unes but from the other of them, Francisco,

he was he was able to go to join us in these beladas of ballet. Okay, so

a little more background here. Yes. Before, three couples used to come. The Mr.

Matias is soltero, so Mr. Matias is single, and never he never joins in these

outings, these plans. But since another one of them, Francisco, he kept a widower, he was to accompany them in these belas belladas of ballet. So he stopped accompanying them, he stopped joining them for these dance evenings. Yes, and Mark, recordemos that

with soltero, we could we'd say, you're also but this one way it's a

thing, it's we're going to we're in a problem because if we're saying

the Mr. Matias is soltero we're we're doing for the fact that

has been more time and that's something but if we're still

so we're we're maybe we're something is a momentan and will

find a Pareja Pronto. So this use of estar or set here can really carry quite a bit of weight because we could be talking about whether Francisco is on the dating game or not based on whether we use ser or estar. So if he's if he's a soltero, he's that's his situation. He is single.

But if he's soltero, currently he's single, but you know, who knows who he might meet. Let's continue. Now, now, Antonio, Margarita never falled.

And always me suck an some reason and me agree on the

Juebes with his stories. Okay, so now a little tricky to translate

here. I think it would be something like just still. Yeah. Anyway,

Antonio Margarita Jose and Nati never miss it. They never miss it.

And they always make me a sonrisa and they always make me

smile and me they brighten up the Jueves, my Thursday with their stories. Yeah. And I was thinking, Mark, the verb fallar is super versatile in

Spanish because we can say, my friends, never feel me. Yeah. Or let me down. Yeah. Also,

we can say, in the examin, I missed that answer. Yes. Or, For example, in a part of football, the

player felled the penalty also. And also there's a more formal, for example,

the judge felled in favor of the demandant. So in that case, the judge failed and

that would be ruled in favor of the demandant plaintiff? Yes, me

have seen what they have done in class, and the me is that they've

convinced to unen to come the next. The so we're going to they're

they've showed me what they do in class and the best is that me have

convinced to unim me to them and the best thing is that they convinced me that they've

convinced me to join them to unir me to them. The Juebes

that I'll go next Thursday to a trial class, a class, a class of a class of a class. I'm a lot of much that Isabel is super decided and she has adreved to uniscer. Yes, sure that's so much. Today me has made sure sentir a fortuneada. I've looked at last and I've thought in all those moments that

I'm feeling very happy to form part of this grand family that form us with all the clients of Casa Isha and Manu. Thanks to them, I'll turn to the day with a grand sonrisa and the heart content. What a nice ending.

I'm going to end the day once again with a big smile with a big smile and a happy heart. Oh, it would bring tears to a glass eye, as they say.
