Spanish Word of the Day (plus French and Catalan!)

Thursday, 22 December 2011

Okay, I've read a lot of language books and there is always a chapter near the beginning where they take great effort to make you learn the most important word in the language...STAMPS. OK, I understand maybe you will be in a foreign country and want to send a postcard but, I mean, I think asking for the bathroom is slightly more important. In fact, if you are me, this infinitely more important as I have been to lots of countries and never sent a postcard but have had to go the bathroom in all these places!

Anyway, here is how to say "stamp" in three languages.

French
Timbre

Spanish
Estampilla

Catalan
Segell


So, next time you are visiting a Spanish/French/Catalan speaking country/region-you may have to pee on a tree or something but you will be able to send your postcards!
