A few insights from my Spanish today...
Amazing the insights you get when you start learning another language!
Such as, a few things that I’ve found…in Spanish, the word for a “fly” is a “mosca.” Now, when I heard this, the first thing that came to my mind was…well, that makes sense! I guess a little fly would be a—mosquito!
Today, I was studying and came across a flash card for housewife, or homemaker. The Spanish…el ama de casa. Which is literally a house lover!
I love learning Spanish!

Yeah! I am doing it too. It is kinda interesting. It's kinda funny how a lot of their words are "take-offs" from ours.
Have a great day1

Yes, most of their words have roots in Latin, as do about half of ours.
But the housewife - that's brilliant! Thanks for sharing!
