Notes

**Nutrition" Words related to food are unique to diverse cultures. Our textbooks have traditionally included
Spain's terminology for food. We propose using US Spanish (closer to Mexico) in our vocabulary list, but
include both terms, when possible.

**Stress that in mainstream Spanish, desayunar/almorzar/cenar are used more regularly than comer el desayuno/el
almuerzo/la cena

**If you feel more body parts are necessary, feel free to use TPR to add more vocab

**Culturally, bañarse incorporates bathing and showering and swimming
**Start using the word ‘alimento’ instead of ‘comida’ when talking to students.

*Remember that ‘entonces’ is not used in Spanish to illustrate a sequence of events. Students should use ‘luego’ instead.
(Primero, me cepillo los dientes. Luego, me lavo la cara.)
