Spanish/English "Bucket List"

Question

This definition is taken straight from the Urban Dictionary:

1. Bucket List

A list of things to do before you die. Comes from the term "kicked the bucket".

I need to remember to add skydiving to my bucket list.

With this concept in mind, let's create a "bucket list" of things we would like to do using the language we are learning, whether it is Spanish or English. Add pictures if you wish.

I will begin: I would like to be able to travel to Puerto Rico and speak to the locals in Spanish.

Answer 1

Quiero a ir a españa, y pedir en español que una mujera a bailar con migo.

I want to go to Spain, and ask in Spanish for a woman to dance with me.

Ray, I believe you could charm the ladies in any language, but that is an excellent aspiration. :) - Nicole-B, Jul 8, 2011

There is a good reason why I want to do that , it is a father /son thing. - ray76, Jul 8, 2011

Hey, I can tango too! ;) - territurtle, Jul 8, 2011

I can tango with your son, too! ;)) - territurtle, Jul 8, 2011

Well ! Le gustería a bailar con migo guapita por favor ? - ray76, Jul 8, 2011

It is not my son who can Tango, it was my father , and he had a Spanish partner . - ray76, Jul 8, 2011

Lo siento , pero usted se bailar con un hombre viejo , pero fuerte y ágil.. jajaaja - ray76, Jul 8, 2011

That is me not my father , he would be well over a hundred years old now. - ray76, Jul 8, 2011

I am fast catching him up, in age but not in ability , I was in awe of him. - ray76, Jul 8, 2011

Ray I am a professional dancer, you can come to Trinidad and dance with me ;) I dance Latin, Ballroom, Argentine tango and a little bit of Belly dancing. I am thinking to add Bachata to this list. - HotChickCD, Jul 8, 2011

Answer 2

If you could see *my* suitcase, it looks like it's traveled the world! But this, of course, is one of the ultimate fantacies. - territurtle, Jul 9, 2011

Starting with all of the Spanish speaking countries.....si? :) - Nicole-B, Jul 9, 2011

Wow, Nicole -- you have grand ambitions! I can't even do that with a British movie. ;) - territurtle, Jul 8, 2011

Answer 5

I would like to be able to go to Panama as an "abroad" student through my university and feel comfortable communicating with people. I'm not sure if the classes are in Spanish, but I would doubt it! Hah.

My daughter-in-law's family lived in Panama. I am hoping for an invitation some day soon! - Nicole-B, Jul 9, 2011

They return there on a regular basis. - Nicole-B, Jul 9, 2011

Answer 6

I want to go to Spain without a translator.

It would be great if you could meet up with Heidi or Cogumela and speak to them completely in Spanish! :) - Nicole-B, Jul 9, 2011

Answer 7

I have three, listed from the easiest to the hardest. Tengo tres, listado desde lo que más fácil hasta lo que más difícil:

1. Learn relaxation techniques from the locals in Costa Rica. Aprender las maneras de relajarse de las lugareños de Costa Rica.

2. One of my future husbands might be a native Spanish-speaker (I wish!) Uno de mis esposos futuros sería un hispanohablante (¡ojalá!). Te voy, Iker.

3. Discuss economic issues in emerging markets. Discutir las temas económicas sobre los mercados emergentes.

I wish I could discuss economic issues in emerging markets in English. jeje Great goals! - Nicole-B, Jul 8, 2011

What a fantastic answer! - territurtle, Jul 9, 2011

Answer 8

I love to laugh. So, I would like to be quick enough in Spanish to understand subtle humor, jokes, etc. At this point, by the time I've figured things out, it is too late to laugh.

I try to understand those cartoons of Joe s , sometimes I can , but then one gets caught out on a simple thing. - ray76, Jul 8, 2011

Oh, Nicole, this is such a precious post! - territurtle, Jul 8, 2011

Gracias Territurtle. Surely, there is something you dream of doing....hint, hint. :) - Nicole-B, Jul 8, 2011

I know Ray. I guess what I am trying to say is that I would like to be quick witted in Spanish. Usually with humor, there are also subtle plays on words etc., I think it is going to take me awhile. - Nicole-B, Jul 8, 2011

Answer 9

Maybe I'm being a bit philosophical today (partly due to the comments of Andres),

I want to talk to any Spanish-speaking person that I meet, and get to know them.

.... I can't imagine my life without Spanish now, nor can I imagine life without all of the great new friends in the forum and in my personal life due to the fact that I can speak a bit of Spanish. There are so many people who I would have never met and so many points of view that I would have missed out on. So adding to my bucket list, I want to continue to improve my language skills so that I can add to my friendships!!!

I do have to say:

"¡Gracias a español por todos mis amigos nuevos!"

Wonderfully put, Nicole! - territurtle, Jul 9, 2011

You are a very encouraging person Terri! :) - Nicole-B, Jul 9, 2011

Answer 10

¡Sin comentario!

Without comment!

Answer 11

I want to talk to any Spanish-speaking person that I meet, and get to know them. I also want to be able to teach English classes to anyone who wants or needs them (as well as Spanish classes!)

Answer 12

Me gustaría ir a Puerto Rico y tomar un paseo en una guagua.

Answer 13

Me encantaría montar un camello sobre el desierto.

Answer 14

With so many Spanish speaking countries to choose from, I would love to pick one and live there for an extended period of time. I would prefer to live in an area where not many of the locals speak English, making this a very challenging goal.

So many beautiful countries.....so little time!

I'm going to Uruguay and outside of Montevideo, most people speak only Spanish. - territurtle, Jul 9, 2011

but expensive to get to. What about north west Spain near to the Portuguese border a small fishing village , no tourists , and great food and wine. - ray76, Jul 9, 2011

Answer 15

Antes de que soy muerto, estaría querido ir en un globo de aire caliente.

Before I die, I would like to ride in a hot air balloon.

Is this something on your bucket list Terri? :) - Nicole-B, Jul 8, 2011

My grandson is going to take me Sky diving , I am really looking forward to that. - ray76, Jul 8, 2011

Yes, sorry Nicole, I made the wrong post, so I just left the picture till I wrote the caption. - territurtle, Jul 8, 2011

You lucky dog, Ray! ;) I´m too old now to skydive, but it was one of my greatest dreams. I did learn how to fly an airplane, though. - territurtle, Jul 8, 2011
