UNDER THE SIGN OF Ñ
‘Ñ’ is a new JimenaPulse series on the Spanish language. It does not pretend to be anything more than a help to those wanting to improve their command of the language spoken where they have chosen to live. It is by no means a course, but rather, a sort of online dictionary, humour and pronunciation included (We are looking into getting sound out, too). Nevertheless, we must point out that, as has been said before, ‘if you don’t have the need to learn, you won’t’ – just like when we were babies learning English: we had the need. Many expats never take the trouble to get a handle on Spanish because they can live here perfectly well, if restrictedly, without it. If this is you, then this series is not for you.
