Look up the word for this symbol @? : _________ and for dot: _______ using Wordreference to choose the correct context.
El hogar—the home
Joe Melsha says “Home is wherever we gather with our family and friends. Houses get bought and sold; a home stays with you always.” In the Spanish speaker’s culture the home is their house and they love to share: “Mi casa es su casa” (formal) is Spanish for “My house is your house”; a common saying to invite someone into your house and allow them to make themselves at home.
Perhaps you have been looking for the ideal apartment or home, or you need to furnish an apartment or home. To do so, it is helpful to know how to say the rooms in a home. If you go to Corte Inglés or even Home Depot or Lowes in México, you will want to know which aisle has items for the bathroom versus the dining room.
| Los cuartos de la casa | The rooms of the home |

| La casa | The house |
| El hogar | The home |
| El baño | The bathroom |

| La oficina | The office |

| El ático | The attic |

Read the passage aloud for pronunciation and comprehension.
Let’s pretend you are working with your sister: tu hermana que es diseñadora. Ella va a las tiendas contigo para comprar.
Rosa: Gracias, Raquel, por venir a mi casa. Tengo ganas de decorar mi casa pero no sé qué necesito.
Raquel:Es un placer, hermana. Primero, sugiero los muebles para tu recámara y el baño. No puedes vivir y dormir aquí con solo la recámara y el baño.
Rosa: Siempre eres muy sensata. Yo puedo comer en tu casa o en la de mamá.
Raquel:Quiero ir a la mueblería, Inlab Muebles, y a Costco.
Rosa: (En Inlab Muebles) Prefiero una cama doble, una mesa de noche, unas lám paras y un sillón.
Raquel: ¿Qué color te gusta en tu recámara?
Rosa:Quisiera el color blanco para los muebles y en la pared, azul para la tranquilidad.
Raquel: Perfecto. Ahora compramos la cama, la mesa y el sofá. Vamos a Costco para las lámparas y las cosas del baño.
Rosa: (en Costco…) Por favor, ¿Consigues las lámparas? Yo busco las toallas y los adornos del baño. Voy a poner un tema tropical en el baño.
Raquel: Vale, Rosa, pero por favor, no vayas a poner la fruta en el baño…es para la cocina …ja,ja,ja.

Aprendamos un poco más: Let’s learn a little more
In previous units, we addressed some of the cultural norms that exhibit politeness and as a result of you incorporating them into your daily interactions; you will earn the respect of others from Spanish speaking cultures. Some of these aspects were the usage of Señor, Señora, Señorita, titles and usted when you meet someone for the first time or again with people of title throughout your conversations. Eye contact and physical proximity in conversations are also cultural norms that you should become accustomed to with people from Hispanic countries.
Expanding on the concept of respect, you may have noticed one of the words used in the dialogue with Rosa y Raquel is “quisiera”. Rosa says it when she wants to indicate that she would like white furniture. Quisiera means I would like (or he, she or usted would like) and is one of the most polite ways of requesting something anywhere whether it be at home, a store, restaurant or seeking information or assistance.
TAREA:
For homework create 10 sentences in Spanish using quisiera and items that you would like in your ideal room. Be specific by adding the items and adjectives within your sentences. Remember place your assignment on the instructor’s desk at the beginning of the class.
