Summary: If you have visited this blog a few times, you may have noticed a couple of things. A). That it is pretty brand new (only about a month old) and... B). That I don't post entries on it daily. To tell you the truth, there is a lot I want to share with you about Spanish verbs but some of it really doesn't warrant a 400+ word blog entry. That's where Twitter comes in. Twitter is a web site where people can post very short messages on all sorts of topics. It's like a blog but with entries that are extremely brief. There is a 140-character limit per entry, and that includes punctuation marks and spaces! Twitter is a great platform for ReVerb Spanish because you can get more helpful tips about different Spanish verbs without having to wade through lengthy explanations. In fact, it’s an efficient way for me to address some verbs that are interesting but maybe don’t have enough meat to devote an entire podcast to them. Wondering what kinds of things I’m putting on Twitter? Here’s a sampling of a few verbs that were the focus in some recent “tweets.” (You'll have to visit the ReVerb Spanish Twitter page to get the answers to these riddles.) Armarse un lío vs. Hacerse un lío: They both mean trouble but in different ways. Estar a cargo de vs. Hacerse cargo de: Who’s the boss between those two phrases? Alumbrar vs. Deslumbrar: Shine some light on two similar verbs Callarse la boca vs Cerrarle la boca: It's the difference between keeping one’s mouth shut or causing someone to shut theirs! :D As you can see, it’s a little bit of everything. But the focus is solely on explaining to you the nuances of Spanish verbs and verb phrases that are not only useful for you to know but also a lot of fun to use! I post items over there more frequently than I do on this blog, so if you ever miss me (si me echas de menos) and wonder what I've been up to, you can find me twittering away at Twitter.com/ReVerbSpanish. If you feel like it, sign up for your own Twitter account and we can also communicate with one another that way. ¡Hasta luego!
