Learn Spanish with SpanishPod101.com! Today, we have another edition of the Costa Rican Regional Series. Get down with Natalia and Carlos as they continue their tour through the Costa Rican kitchen. This is a great lesson for learning how a basic conversation in a restaurant might sound. Also, be sure to reference this lesson with Newbie Lesson 11 and check out Peruvian Lesson 11 and Iberian Lesson 11 for a deeper understanding of the comparisons made here.

Joseph says:

The next Martha Stewart… that sounds kind of scary! Nati, what do you think are some useful terms/phrases to learn for being in the kitchen?

Natalia says:

Scary! for the ponchos maybe , but not for the millions..

As for phrases.. mm how about.. ” Voy a entrarle a la cocina” .. ” Going into the kitchen” .. you say this when you are going to cook, or clean the kitchen.

Or for a compliment to a friend who cooked dinner ” Usted se la juega muchisimo cocinando” .. ” You are a really really good cook..”

As for terms.. we could make a whole lesson based on the items found in a kitchen. :grin: (not if is Carlos kitchen he only has a coffee maker and 2 cups)

:wink:

P says:

Thanks for fixing the link, as always it is so cute to listen to these two! :wink:

Joseph says:

P,

I agree. These lessons are a lot of fun to listen to! And, I think with Nati and Carlos, we really get a “flavor” of Costa Rican Spanish!

Nati,

Carlos’ kitchen sounds interesting… :wink: How many different dishes can he make with a coffee pot and 2 cups!?!?! (*I’m afraid to hear the answer)

Vibecomp21 says:

HEY!!! I have plates too! I can make a lot of things…Coffee, tea, hot chocolate, coffee…Wait I said that already.

Joseph says:

¡Ya pues, Carlos! ¡Tú sabes que has tratado de preparar una sopa de paquete en esa cafetera más que una vez! Jeje…

Some other terms we can put on the list: cocer (to cook), cocinar (to cook), cocina (kitchen/cuisine/stovetop)…

mariposa says:

“possessive adjective” means “possessive pronoun”, am I right?
I never heard before the term “possessive adjective”.

Joseph says:

There’as actually a difference between possessive adjectives and possessive pronouns. Here’s the distinction.

“Es tu libro” (It’s your book.)
[here, “tu” (your) is an adjective that modifies the noun “libro” (book)]

but…

“El libro es luyo” (The book is yours.)
[here, “tuyo” (yours) is a pronoun that replaces the noun it modifies]

In Spanish, we have both possessive adjective and pronouns.

Make sense?

Rodney says:

Another great lesson. Out of all the Regional lessons, I think Costa Rica is my favorite.

I do like the cooking lessons, but maybe those should be in a seperate lesson of their own. It’s kinda hard to remember what recipe appeared in what lesson.
