A consejo is “a piece of advice” and the verb aconsejar is “to advise.” Here in the Don Quijote classroom, we take a look at the grammar and language involved when doling out recommendations, suggestions, and the like, in Spanish.

Sometimes when we give advice it seems a little presumptious to tell people outright what we think they should do. It’s a little smoother to instead say what we would do if we were in their place, “I would watch more Spanish videos (if I were you).” Let’s have a look at how we do this in Spanish.

Nothing’s better in the morning than a good breakfast and a good lesson! Let’s start this Yabla day with Marta and Ivana, a young lady who’s as sweet as can be.

What do we do in the middle of the day? What about eating? A good lunch could easily become the highlight of the day. What are our Spaniard friends eating?

Our friends from Spain keep sharing their rutina diaria with us, and we can see one thing that’s really important to them: food. They eat all the time! Maybe that’s why they look so happy!

Silvia from San Sebastián shares her daily routine with us. She leads a very active lifestyle that includes a meal with her parents, work at a Spanish language academy for foreigners (El Aula Azul), a drink with friends, and even some quality time with her cats!

The Spanish cooking show, ¡Cómetelo! [Eat it Up!], seeks to teach its viewers about their land through its gastronomy. Today, on its quest to make broccoli soup, the program takes us to the charming town of Castril in southern Spain where many crops are grown including this nutritional powerhouse.

The Spanish cooking show, ¡Cómetelo! [Eat it Up!] continues as our Spanish chef begins to show us how to make broccoli soup in a very animated fashion.

Behold our lively Spanish chef as continues the broccoli soup-making process.

Ester from El Aula Azul demonstrates some simple addition problems in Spanish.
