Los sustantivos españoles más comunes – Conceptos esenciales

In Spanish class, the teacher speaks clearly and slowly. He asks us to make a simple choice: read in a group or work alone. I look at my classmates and raise my hand when I see the sign on the board. We choose to work as a group, and each person reads one line. Then the teacher corrects us patiently. At the end we write two sentences and say hello. I like this choice because I learn quickly. The group helps me, and I help too.

At home I have a small safe under my bed. I open it only when I am alone. There I keep a secret: a childhood photo and a screenshot of the first important message. It is not a lie; it is a private memory. I also keep coins and a piece of paper with a number. Each kind of paper has its place. I close the safe, hear the click, and feel calm. If I lose something, I find it here.

After that, I go for a walk with my dog around the neighborhood. She looks at everything and smells the ground. I am a normal human being and I walk calmly. I give her water and I wait when she stops. Then I get into the car and I practice driving on quiet streets. I use the seat belt and I look at the mirrors. So driving is safe. Today I am lucky: there is no traffic and the sun is gentle. I make a slow return home, I park well, and the dog sleeps happily.

At night I watch a black-and-white movie on television. The story is simple, but interesting. The cause of the problem is a small mistake, and that is why everyone stays silent in the room. A character makes a promise and looks for other friends to help. I look carefully at each clue: a letter, a door, a light. I like the dark style and the quiet music. When it ends, I think about the promise and I turn off the television.

On Saturday, I play cards with a group of neighbors at the café. First we talk about the day and order water. We don’t make a big bet, just a small coin for a laugh. Each round is short and everyone respects the rules. When I win, I celebrate the victory with a chocolate sweet. If I lose, I smile anyway. The important thing is to be together, listen, and have a good time. At the end we put away the cards and say thank you. Sometimes it’s luck and sometimes it’s practice.

At the party there is music and a slow dance. People of every sex and with many tastes are there. I follow the rhythm and listen to the singer’s voice. A friend shows me a step and I repeat it. I see others dancing near me and everyone smiles. There is no problem if I make a mistake. I don’t know how to dance very well, but I learn little by little. When the song changes, we do another faster dance. At the end I drink water and rest for a moment.

At the end of the night I go back home in silence. I walk to the stop and then I drive slowly. In the street I see a stop sign and I brake carefully. I look to the left and to the right. On the phone I receive a secret message from the group: tomorrow there is another meeting. They are other plans for the week. I don’t say anything to anyone, because it is secret and it is from the group. I smile, I keep the secret, I close the door, and I turn off the light to sleep.
