I love this television show (Pasapalabra, obv), it’s not just a fast-paced word game, it’s also an instant vocabulary builder/combined language teacher.
We hardly missed watching a show, when I lived in Spain; the pace of delivery increases as the round nears its conclusion, creating an exciting spectacle.
But the feature that used to make it all the more gripping was the sheer pace that the quizmaster can deliver his questions at in the dying seconds.
I had one private Spanish lesson a week and one group Spanish lesson a week for a year before we moved, and when I lived there I continued having lessons once a week.
But Pasapalabra taught me almost as much as all those lessons, and increased my lexicography a thousandfold.
Enjoy!
And for those who don’t speak Spanish, check out the differences between the Castellano and English alphabets 🙂
Hasn’t anybody told them they are missing a few letters?!
Last time I was in Spain I watched an Eggheads type quiz show. Even though I don’t speak Spanish I managed to get quite a few answers correct from working out what they were saying (rather than just a lucky 1/4 punt). I patted my own back and gave myself a gold star anyway 😉
Couldn’t understand a word: too fast for me.
As Cynical says: no ‘k’ or ‘w’? And why are there 2 ‘n’s?
Questions that need answering, Mr Jones.
Where’s Sally when I need her? 🙂
