Thanks to my tourists, the words that I´m using are becoming more accurate and my vocabulary is getting bigger and bigger in each tour, I would like to put the name of the person who owns each word, more than a year has passed since I started giving tours, so I really don´t remember who taught each of my new words, but I do remember one of them Lizzie Lee… she make me realize how awful I say the word “Very” with a “V”!!! no a B, she would say every time…not letting me pass one.. and marking it, an insisting all the time, well, it doesn’t matter, now I believe I say it correctly, but not only that, she also explained to me the meaning of “Former”, “Braids”, and her sister, Katherine, in the other hand taught me “Stray” which is of extremely importance and great use when you are visiting neighborhoods like La Boca. Another man who I don’t remember the name.. taught me the meaning of “Brothel”, or expressions like “you own the building” or “To see and be seeing”…. SO from now on I will keep a record of my new words and the generous people who contributed.
"Awkward" Thanks Chance Miller for my new word, although I´m not quite sure how to use it...
"Mouthful" I love this word, and Emma Balch my ex next door neighbour taught me (among many other important words) and she was the one who encouraged me to speak english. Thnxs
Thanxs Gordon, from London but living in Aukland for explaining and introducing me to the word "Buzz"
