I thought it would be a good time to talk about METAS (Goals). • Mi META es viajar a Italia pudiendo hablar italiano. My GOAL is to travel to Italy being able to speak Italian • META can mean, GOAL - as in something that you want to achieve. Por ejemplo: mis METAS para este año son... my GOALS for this year are... • OR • META can mean FINISH LINE. Por ejemplo: ¿dónde está la META? Where is the FINISH LINE? • AND • META (also known as PORTERÍA) in Spanish is also the GOAL in game or match. Por ejemplo: la pelota entró a la META - the ball went into the GOAL. • ¿Tienes metas nuevas para este años? Do you have new goals for this year?

This came up in one of my classes the other day... It all boils down to what kind of party you are talking about: El PARTIDO político - The political PARTY. La FIESTA de Juan - Juan’s PARTY. • On a side note: Partido can also mean, game or match, por ejemplo: El PARTIDO empieza a las cuatro - the GAME/MATCH starts at 4:00. Hope it helps, hasta pronto Debbie #spanishtidbits #speakspanish #lovelanguage #lovelanguages #funwithspanish #funwithlanguage #party #partido #fiesta #juego #match #game https://www.instagram.com/p/CJGaxCJnSIG/?igshid=t3ucmkn6ljb4
