El Spanglish II

Following my last post I have tracked down the Spanish equivalent to the French Academie Francaise; it's called La Real Academia Española. I imagine it has a lot to say on the modern use (especially by mobile phone users) of Spanish. You can find some good examples of cartoons with modern language use at sites like "La Kodorniz" where que becomes ke etc.

The Real Academia Española has the dictionary online, so if you hear a new word you can look it up. Of course all the explanations are in Spanish! I'm still trying to decipher chiflar.

The Spanish Cockpit has more. Last time I saw the procession in Manilva, there was lots of besapies going on. The locals flocked from their houses by the dozens to kiss His feet.

Notes from Spain ... Lucky enough to be in Andalucia this Easter?

This has saved me much time in trying to explain the biggest holiday in Spain. The guys in the KKK outfits I can't see locally, seems they're all in Málaga or Seville.

What's this? Antonio Banderas puts on a burka?

No folks, it's the annual Easter parades. Well worth a look if you can spare the time. Málaga and Seville are highly recommended.
