¡Muy chungo! - Notes in Spanish L!VE
The new Notes in Spanish L!VE video blogging adventure continues (subscribe in iTunes!) Today we talk about a few of our favourite phrases, first of all focusing on the wonderful, and pretty informal, Chungo:
Las cosas se han puesto chungas - Things have got pretty hectic/tricky/difficult.
Lo veo muy chungo - I think it’s going to be difficult (e.g. to get a certain project done by Monday).
¿Qué tal tu abuelo? … Pues está muy chungo - How is your grandfather? … He’s in a pretty bad way.
Other phrases from today’s video blog:
Hasta el 40 de mayo no te quites el sayo - this great phrase basically means it could still get a bit chilly any time up until about June 10th. After that you can pack your coat away!
Se está de miedo - It’s lovely (in this case the weather)
Estamos en la gloria… estamos de maravilla… estamos estupendamente… estamos guay - we are super happy, comfortable and contented (in this case about the wonderful temperatures)!
Le llevo dos años - I’m two years older than her
Enjoy these phrases?
There are a whole lot more like this in our Real Spanish Phrase Book!

I absolutely love this format. I have been listening to your podcasts for the past year, never daring to go beyond the beginner section. I was amazed at how much I understood!Being able to see you speak really helps me ‘catch’ each word. Thank-you from visual learners everywhere and keep up the good work!
