Why I Created This Blog

¡Hola, Bienvenidos a todos!

I am in my fourth year of school majoring in Education and Spanish. I'm from Minnesota and am about to embark on a life changing experience, immersing myself in the language, culture, and pura vida of Costa Rica!

My ultimate goal of going to Costa Rica is to become fluent in speaking Spanish. But along the way, I am going to be visiting a very close friend from high school, experiencing Costa Rican Independence Day and Christmas, traveling to three countries and living on the beach. Oh, and I am taking classes in a university in the capital city, but it goes without debate, most of my learning will be experienced when I am not in a classroom but around the friendly Ticos (name Costa Rican's call themselves) and being out on adventures.

If you're reading this, I miss you, so do your best to let me know what you're up to! And I'll do my best filling you in on my adventures :)

Los Pollitos

The tune is very similar but not quite the tune of Little Bunny Foo Foo.



Spanish
Los Pollitos


Los pollitos dicen
Pío Pío pío
Cuando tienen hambre
Cuando tienen frío

La gallina busca
El maíz y el trigo
Y les da comida
Y les presta abrigo

Bajo sus dos alas
Acurrucaditos
Duermen los pollitos
Hasta el otro día

Todas las mañanas
Al salir el sol
Me lavo la cara
Con agua y jabón

Porque la limpieza
Dice mi mamá
Que es una belleza
Y salud nos da

Los pollitos dicen
Pío Pío Pío

Cuando tienen hambre
Cuando tienen frío

(And repeat!!)


English
Little Baby Chicks

Little baby chicks say
Pío Pío Pío
When they are hungry
When they are cold

Mother hen looks for
corn and wheat
Gives them food
And provides them shelter

Under her two wings
Huddled up together
Sleep the baby chicks
Until the next day

Every morning
at sunrise
I wash my face
With water and soap

Because cleanliness
Says my Mom
It is for beauty
And keeps us healthy

Little baby chicks say
Pío Pío Pío
When they are hungry
When they are cold

...Repeat!!
