¡A practicar!

Espero que lo que aquí escribo sirva para ayudar a estudiantes del castellano y de las culturas de países hispanohablantes a desarrollar el vocabulario, practicar las estructuras, y entender un poco más nuestras ricas costumbres e historias.

I hope that what I write here will help students of Spanish and of the cultures of Spanish-speaking countries to develop vocabulary, practice structures, and better understand our rich customs and histories.

     The answer to the question in my last blog? Copán, Honduras, where some of the best Mayan artwork can be found. I then went and spent two and a half weeks teaching up in the mountains above Tegucigalpa, the capital.
     At left is a picture of a "stela," a mayan monument that depicts a king and is intricately carved with mayan hieroglyphs that depict the history of local mayan royalty. They were originally painted bright colors, especially red and green, but most of those colors have been worn off.

Sometimes it makes sense to combine culture and grammar, and you learn about both.
So where can you practice grammar and vocabulary and also learn about culture?  Barbara Kuckzun Nelson's Spanish Language and Culture page.  Click on the banner below and check out this very well put-together web site.

If you go down the left-hand side you'll find songs or other cultural information that will help you review different grammar topics. On the right there is a list of grammar points, and you should try working on the ones that give you the most trouble. Each one comes with an explanation, activities, and links.
