Learning
by word association.
You can
greatly increase your word retension by associating a new word with
one you already know
either
in English or Spanish.
Example:
GRACIA and
GRACIOSO means FUNNY. But it sounds like
GRACIAS (thanks), with a slightly different ending.
Next
time when you try to think of how to say "this
is funny", think of "gracias" and just change
the ending to say "esto es gracioso", or "I
don't think it's funny" is "yo no le veo la
gracia." (Lit. I don't see the
humour or what's funny about that)
GRACIA also means GRACE, as
in graceful or flair or in a religious
sense.
GRACIOSO also can be used
to describe something as SWEET or CUTE or
LOVELY
Example:
"ella tiene una manera muy graciosa de reírse"
means "she has a very cute/lovely laugh" (Lit. She
has a very cute/lovely way of
laughing)
