Signs

Look at these signs:



Where are they from? London, New York, Dublin or Sydney? Well, actually not. They are from Madrid. You can find these signs in Spain too. Yes, they are English words. But we use them in Spanish. And everybody understands them. We know the meaning of these words. Our grandparents don't speak English but they understand these signs.

Yes, we use many English words in Spanish. There are a lot of English words that we use everyday but we don't realise they are English. When we talk about sport, music, entertainment or food, we use English words. Do you know the words in this picture?


Again, they are all English words but we use them in Spanish every day. How many more English words do you know that we use in Spanish?
Think about:
- sport: rugby, corner
- music: pop, DJ
- entertainment: DVD
- technology: pendrive, email
- other words (food, freetime activities): sandwich, camping
Write at least 5 words.

    1. I'm not so sure that reggaeton is completely English. It comes from "reggae" which is from Jamaica, but "ton" may have different explanations. I have read that some musicologists say it comes from "maraton" (a type of rap competition) or "town" (reggae town).
