¡Buenos días!
If you have been living in lockdown, have you found that you have now played every single game in the house? I've played cards, Trivial Pursuits, Scrabble, everything we have. Well, nearly everything, we have a chess set but I admit to not knowing how to play chess. I know how to move the pieces, but I am painfully aware that this, and actually knowing how to play are not the same thing at all. I've been thinking about this ever since I read this article:
Do you know how to play? In Spanish, chess is called ajedrez. When you listen to this word, can you hear how it has come to the Spanish language from Arabic and not Latin. Listen to this and other words of Arabic origin here:
Finally, I leave you with a line from the article with its grammatical breakdown.
Para los que no saben nada o los que quieren aprender a jugar "con sentido", las clases se guardarán en una viodeoteca de youtube.com.
For those who don't know anything or those who want to lean to play "meaningfully", these classes will be available in the youtube video library.
Hasta mañana,
Shui
