Hello to everybody!
ESLpod is very useful and interesting… Like Piter, I don’t learn much English through podcasts, because I read a lot of books in English and catch much stuff from them… But I’m really getting my English fluent via them ) And of course I learn a lot of interesting information from pods
Emiliano and Julio It seems to me, spanish women take their married status very seriously and don’t like to make a joke of it and themselves…
Jeff and Lucy, thank you so much for your work!

hey everybory…. what`s up!!!

Peter….. as I had commented above, it`s pretty amazing how the sayings are so alike in different countries…. there you go!!!! That saying that you just shot it right above, there is some saying in portuguese which has the same idea; it would be like: actions are worth more than words!

thanks to every one for participate in the blog!

Kobe, I think so, we have been sharing our lifes together along the last 40 years. She knows me perfectly well and so do I, I think, because it is well known that
never you can know a woman as well as she did with a man.
We are more simple and easy to get for them.

At home I had four women. My wife and three daughters, I was happy but sometimes I miss a boy or a man near me, just to talk the way men do.
Have in mind that before, with my parents, I had two sisters only……I miss a brother too.
Regards.

This morning I have asked Cuca her opinion about such a phrase, and she told me “If you said something like that to me I would tell you: Be off here and make an honest
man of yourself”.
This is the spanishwoman way of thinking, and of course, I agree absolutely with them.
Yes, I have to think it is a very old fashioned phrase but very interesting of knowing.

Thanks Lucy, you are quite ironic and amused as ever, always teaching us so funny things.
Thanks also to Zoltán from Hungary, nice and beautiful country that I have visited some time ago. Did you use that phrase in your country?…..I don´t think so.
But please, tell us what is the way of asking a girl to marry a boy, it should be nice to know.

when i saw the phrase To make an honest woman of her i thought it means to make an woman confront/face her feeling honestly to a guy who she deny the feeling of like or love that she actrally loves very much. maybe by this subconscious understanding plus what it really mean, to marry a women, i dont feel anything wrong with this phrase if using by one man asking a wonmen to marry him.
haha, so i’m curious how would Julio and Emiliano’s wife to react to this phrase“`they might not thinking the way as you guys thought.
GOOD NITE Peter

thank you for your generosity again, Lucy,Jeff, and your stuff.
