You might not think of snow and freezing temperatures when you scroll through the list of Spanish speaking countries on our globe. But let’s not forget about the colder regions of South America, the Andes Mountains and the Patagonia region of Argentina and Chile that consists of lower-elevation plateaus and rugged glaciers. The picture says it all. To challenge our students we found a nice Spanish verse by Andrea Kalman. ¡Vamos! Paint, draw or create an image of this scene and be in to win a free conversation class at Language Hub! Just submit your work of art and you’re in. The best image in each language wins. Spanish language poem Versos para el invierno En invierno se enfría la punta de la nariz con un pañuelo me tapo antes de un gran achís. Mantas polares cazadoras de abrigo, guantes y bufanda. ¡Ya no hace frío! Si tengo frío, tiritan mis dientes, tomo sopa de letras y leche caliente. Cuando hace mucho frio, tiritan los dientes pero los míos no, porque yo soy valiente. Si tengo mucho frío me tapo la nariz con bufanda de lana roja, verde y gris. Los días de frío mucho nos abrigamos nos quedamos algo duritos pero igual ¡jugamos!

Winter competition: French

2016-08-20T10:16:44+12:00

For our French winter competition we have chosen a poem that almost all French children know. It was written by Jacques Prévert, the famous 20th century author and screenwriter who wrote simple poetry using everyday language. His poems are widely taught in schools in France to develop the children’s memory as well as taste for French literature. They also frequently appear in French textbooks published worldwide and are often taught in American upper level French classes to learn basics. So now, submit your work of art (painting, drawing, a created image) to one of the charming people in the office and you’re in to win a free conversation class at Language Hub! The best image in each language wins. French language poem Chanson pour les enfants l’hiver Dans la nuit de l’hiver galope un grand homme blanc c’est un bonhomme de neige avec une pipe en bois un grand bonhomme de neige poursuivi par le froid il arrive au village voyant de la lumière le voilà rassuré. Dans une petite maison il entre sans frapper et pour se réchauffer s’assoit sur le poêle rouge, et d’un coup disparait ne laissant que sa pipe au milieu d’une flaque d’eau ne laissant que sa pipe et puis son vieux chapeau.
