Learn Spanish with SpanishPod101.com! Wow! You just checked out your profile in the mirror of your Mexican hotel room, and you mutter to yourself in Spanish, “Geez, time has not been kind.” You wonder out loud in Spanish, “What can I do to minimize this belly while I’m on vacation here in Cancun?” You remember your activities thus far: chowing down on a bunch of Mexican burritos, chips, and margaritas is probably not the ticket. You knock on your roommate’s door and say in Spanish, “Hey, I’m going for a run.” Your roommate responds in Spanish, “You’re doing what?” You tell him again, “I need to get in shape. I have to get rid of this belly of mine. I’m going to run on the beach. Do you want to come?” Your roommate says in Spanish, “You’ve got to be kidding me…not after the night we had!” You reply in Spanish, “That’s exactly why I’m going!” You have to do SOMETHING to minimize that extra pooch around the middle! As encouragement, you tell yourself in Spanish, “There’s no time like the present!”
