Hispanic Heritage book giveaway winners announced

OK, that contest was too fun. Thank you to all of you who played along. The words made me laugh and provoked memories of being alborotada, sleeping on the pin pan pum, participating in el traqueteo and avoiding the fuacatas. I learned some new ones too.

I think the next contest should be to write stories using all these words and phrases.

The best part, overall, was to meet those of you who I see lurking about in the statcounter. Bienvenidos from out of the shadows! Hope you'll visit and comment often.

And now, the randomly selected winners who will be getting a shipment from Hachette Books. Get in touch with me soon so I can get your addresses. (carrie at bilingualintheboonies.com)

Enjoy and Happy Hispanic Heritage Month!

And thank you, Hatchette, from all our readers...

norma said...Mi palabra favorita es "amor" por que amo la cultura Hispana!

melek said...My favorite Spanish word is: despampanante

It's such a colorful adjective ... and fun to say!

I wish you well :) Melek

eva melo said...My favorite word is NO because that's what I usually say when I get these crazy requests to send chain letters in Spanish!

laurita said...My favorite spanish phrase is "no se, pero bueno" because my cuban mother in law says it all the time after telling long stories.

 ikkinlala said...Mine is "uno," which is what I named one of my childhood cats because she was the only kitten in the litter. (It wasn't my favourite before that cat, though, so the special part is the memory rather than the word.)
