Title: Alternatives to "muy" in Spanish
Body: From the article at: http://spanish.about.com/cs/vocabulary/a/muy_alternative.htm?nl=1 Avoiding Overuse of 'Muy' "Very" is one of those English words that is overused. In fact, I have known editors and teachers who would routinely eliminate each "very" they'd come across in an article or paper they were correcting. Similarly, the Spanish equivalent of muy is easy to overuse, especially for beginning Spanish students who don't know many alternatives. Next time you're thinking of using muy in something you're writing, consider these alternatives.

Title: Culture suggestion: tropical fruits
Body: We had a "tropical fruit day" this year...I went to an international market and picked up lots of different fruits and juices. The students had a great time...another Spanish class joined us once I realized we had far too much fruit. We also practiced "gustar" in discussing our reactions to the new tastes and textures. It was a little messy, but a few of them even talked about the experience a few months later. Tuttle, L. Re: culture class suggestions. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv. FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU (30 Aug. 2004).
