But anyway, I think it's a great idea especially for things you might need to communicate with a reception etc - I have trouble remembering words like
pillow = almohadilla
sheet = hoja (de cama)
blanket = manta
(feel free to correct my european Spanish into a more Mexican version)
.....and PLEASE can someone tell me the correct way to refer to t.p. in Mexican Spanish - I never had any trouble getting any in Spain but for some reason my Mexican maids have struggled to understand me! |
how is the j pronounced again? j = h would that be (ho-ha)???
