Title: Diminutives: Mi jefa es un cielito
Body:
From http://debocaenbocacentre.com/
Do you usually teach “diminutivos” in Spanish as a way to express love or affection for someone or something? Well, it’s not always the case, which may leave even high-level students confused. In his blog post, Alberto uses a short narrative to exemplify the common use of diminutives, but also to contrast it with other less known functions. The text could be used with high-intermediate or advanced students to analyze those different uses.
