We keep posting the study of Ed M. Wood, today you can learn what BOTELLóN means in Spanish.

Botellón is the augmentative form of botella (bottle), so el botellón would literally translate as “the big bottle”. As any visiting Erasmus student will recall (although this may depend upon just how big the bottle was), un botellón is much more than a supersized coke container. Descend upon a public square and you’ll be met by hundreds of buoyant youths riding towards a sugar high on a wave of calimocho, a surprisingly potent mix of wine and coke which betrays all the stereotypes of Spain as a nation of fine-wine-worshippers. Botellón-ing has become such a feature of Spanish youth culture that further terms have been spawned, including botellódromo - an official space for the ex*****on of botellones - and macro-botellón which, as you may have guessed, is even bigger than a big bottle, although it remains unclear at what point a botellón becomes a macro-botellón.

Spanish Words We Should Be Using in English:
Ed M. Wood spent 2 years in Spain, and he found some words fascinating, one of them was milk, and the wide usage. We quote from him:
"You can’t do much with milk in English. If you spill it, you can cry over it, but that’s about it. One of the first things which struck me on my arrival on the Iberian peninsula was the apparent fascination with milk. Excitement, disbelief, good fortune, bad fortune, admiration… could seemingly all be expressed with the help of milk. Don’t believe me? Consider the following, entirely fabricated exchange:

El jugador de fútbol corría a toda leche cuando uno de sus oponentes le dio una leche en la pierna.
The soccer player was running at full speed when one of his opponents hit him on his leg.

“Ay la leche”, gritó el jugador al caerse al suelo.
“Damn it”, cried the player as he fell to the floor.

Un espectador en el estadio comentó a su amigo, “¡Qué mala leche! Ese futbolista es la leche, y si está herido no va a poder jugar en la final, ¡Me cago en la leche!”
A spectator in the stadium turned to his friend, “That was out of order! He’s the best, and if he’s injured he’s not going to be able to play in the final. Bloody hell!

Su amigo le respondió, “no te pongas de mala leche, tio. No me parece tan serio. Se levantará y seguirá jugando. Lo verás.”
His friend responded, “don’t get into a bad mood, man. It doesn’t look that serious. He’ll get up and continue playing. You’ll see.”

“Y una leche”, dijó el espectador abatido.
“No way”, said the spectator, dejected.

So you see, if you memorise the above expressions, you can really milk that leche.

Buenos dias People! Did you know? After Latin, the language that has had the biggest influence on Spanish is Arabic. And there is no better proof, than the amazing Alhambra. The 14th Century palace had 2.5 millions of visitors in 2014, making it the number one visited monument in all of Spain, surpassing even the Sagrada Família in Barcelona. And guess what? It is located 20 minutes walk from our Langugae Institute. You can learn Spanish in the morning, and get lost in the afternoon there, every single day. Combine your study with this amazing view and experience. Granada is waiting for you!
