Apologies 
Bueno, entonces but this class, the 27th, was almost switched off 10 minutes prior to its finish due to boredom, but fortunately there was a dramatic return for MC Grammar, who therefore saved the day!! Apparently David was struggling with a resaca (hangover) following the arrival of his father and over investment into the local alcoholic beverage industry and so didn't appear to be in the mood for conversing in Spanish. I myself can relate to both situations as also find it quite challenging to speak and learn Spanish when after a night on the tiles!!

er que (to have to/must) and provide some useful examples of when to use this verb....and with only 3 more lessons lets hope this is not the last time we meet. The remainder of the lesson tried to focus on how to make suggestions and offers of invitation and also on how to turn a verb into a noun, which goes a little something like this: verb + miento, i.e. casar (to marry) - casamiento (marriage) or mover (to move) - movimiento (movement).

Known here as padre de la patria (father of the homeland) he was responsible for the liberation of the Argentines, Chileans and Peruvians.....good man!!
On another cultural note, this evening I am going to see Piaf at el Teatro Liceo. Of course this will be in Spanish, with a little French for the singer one imagines, so a fine opportunity to test my skills and assess my development!!
