안녕하세요 여러분! Hi everyone! I reorganized my masterlist so that it’s a little easier to navigate my lessons! The only change I made is that instead of organizing my lessons by numbered levels, I’m organizing them into levels based on how advanced they are. The numbered levels contained a smaller number of lessons in them, which was nice since it looked less overwhelming, but I think this new list organizes the lessons less arbitrarily. Also, I think it would be good if you’re new to my blog are unsure of where to start!
Also, don’t worry so much about the order of the lessons within each level. If any grammar structure has “prerequisites,” I’ll probably mention what you need to know in that given lesson if that makes sense. Just browse the list and see what you’re curious about!
All of the lessons that I have already posted will keep the level numbers in their titles (it would take me a while to change every single one of them!), but you can just ignore those. My future lessons, however, will be labeled with the proper difficulty level. I hope this new list is a more helpful way of navigating my blog!
As always, feel free to message me with any messages you may have about any of these lessons!! Happy studying! 화이팅!

This is a vocabulary list I’ve been working on sort of on and off, compiling words that applied to what I was going for.
To be honest I don’t actually know the correct term for this, but in Spanish there are times when you have certain… “noun units” where you’ll have two words that are joined together to make a new concept. These are very common with plants and animals, colors, and fruit and vegetables
What I’m saying is that these are compound nouns that take on an unexpected meaning. They can really trip you up if you stumble across one of these expressions and you know the individual words, but not always literally what they mean together.
An example is las bellas artes for “fine arts”; if you saw it normally and didn’t know the expression you might understand it as “the beautiful arts” and be somewhat confused.
There are other compound noun units like this, and they can be very confusing if you’re only understanding what each separate word means rather than the whole.
las bellas artes = the fine arts el arte = art bello/a = beautiful
los frutos secos = nuts (as in like almonds and tree nuts etc) el fruto = fruit (what a tree or plant bears) / results, yield seco/a = dry
el libre albedrío = free will el albedrío = will, one’s own power [a little formal] libre = free
(de) mala muerte = “backwater”, “backwoods”, “a dump” / bad neighborhood / sleazy, shady, rinky-dink malo/a = bad la muerte = death
las malas lenguas = “gossip”, the rumor mill malo/a = bad la lengua = tongue
la doble moral = double-standard doble = double la moral = moral, ethics
la media naranja = “other half”, “kindred spirit”, “soulmate” medio/a = half la naranja = orange
las arenas movedizas = quicksand la arena = sand movedizo/a = moving, shifting
la espina dorsal = backbone, spine [another word for it; you may also see la columna vertebral “spinal column”] la espina = thorn / spine dorsal = dorsal, related to the back
la prensa rosa = tabloids, gossip magazine la prensa = press / printing press rosa = pink
el ángulo muerto = blind spot el ángulo = angle muerto/a = dead
la plana mayor = “the top brass”, “the powers that be” la plana = cover page, top page / flatland plano/a = flat mayor = greater, bigger, major / elder, older (age, usually talking about an older sibling)
la caja fuerte = a safe, strongbox, vault la caja = box fuerte = strong
el pez gordo = “bigwig”, person in charge, VIP el pez = fish gordo/a = fat
pasado mañana = the day after tomorrow pasado/a = past mañana = tomorrow la mañana = morning el mañana = the future [unspecified but usually the near future]
la piedra angular = cornerstone, keystone, touchstone, building block (of a building or just figuratively) la piedra = stone, rock angular = angular, angled
la tormenta eléctrica = thunderstorm, a storm with lightning la tormenta = storm eléctrico/a = electric
(en) primer plano = close-up / “the limelight”, “the spot light” / the foreground / the forefront primer, primero/a = first el plano = plane, level / shot (photography)
la cámara acorazada = bank vault la cámara = chamber, room acorazado/a = armored, shielded, covered in armor
el piso franco = safe house (a place to keep things/people safe) el piso = floor, ground / story/storey [sometimes “apartment” or “flat”] franco/a = frank, honest, sincere
la materia prima = raw materials, the fundamentals la materia = material / matter / subject (in school) la prima = premium primo/a = prime / coming first [normally you’d see primo/a as “cousin”]
el fuego fatuo = will-o-wisp, ghost lights, foxfire el fuego = fire fatuo/a = vain, superficial / vapid, simple-minded
el bicho raro = “freak” / “oddity”, “a strange bird” el bicho = bug raro/a = strange, weird
la estrella fugaz = shooting star, falling star la estrella = star fugaz = brief, fleeting
la montaña rusa = rollercoaster la montaña = mountain ruso/a = Russian
el casco viejo = historic district el casco = helmet / area, quarter, ward (of a city) viejo/a = old
la ropa blanca = linens (sheets and towels, or bedsheets) [it also does mean “white clothes” literally and can be used that way; as in just clothes that happen to be white in color] la ropa = clothing blanco/a = white
la planta baja / el piso bajo = ground floor (in a hotel or office building; in elevators in Spanish-speaking countries it’s often PB) la planta = plant / floor, story/storey el piso = floor, ground / floor, story/storey bajo/a = short / low
los bajos fondos = the criminal underworld, “underworld”, “back alley” bajo/a = short / low el fondo = depth / the bottom
el príncipe azul = “knight in shining armor”, “prince charming”, “man of (someone’s) dreams” el príncipe = prince azul = blue
(el) juego sucio = foul play / “cheating” el juego = game [sometimes used as “gambling”] sucio/a = dirty
el agua dulce = freshwater, fresh water el agua = water [technically el agua is feminine] dulce = sweet
Lately I’ve been watching a lot of Papá a Toda Madre (a Mexican telenovela that I totally recommend), so I thought it’d be a good idea to share some mexicanismos that I’ve come across in the show. Enjoy ~
chambear | to work ; la chamba | work. “voy a encontrar chamba, no te preocupes mi amor.”
la neta | truth. “dime la neta, Toño!” it’s also used to talk about something that’s the shit, the real deal.
güey | means ‘dude’, but can also be used to call someone a fool. “cálmate, güey, no es mi culpa.”
el chamaco | slang for kid. “¿esta chamaca es muy inteligente, verdad?”
la alberca | mexican word for swimming pool.
¡no manches! | used to express suprise or disbelief, kind of like ‘no way’. “van a vender la empresa, güey. -no manches, ¿qué vamos a hacer?”
chingüetas | used to express discontent; a mild word for ‘fuck’. “¡chingüetas, vamos a perder el autobús!”
la chela | slang for beer. “quieres tomar unas chelas con nosotros?”
la carcacha | a car that’s run-down or in very bad shape.
el changarro | a small store or stand. “hay un changarro de tamales a la vuelta de la esquina.”
la chava | used to mean ‘chick’. “Valentina, esa es la chava con quién se fue mi papá?”
el cuate | buddy, friend. “voy a salir a beber con mis cuates ahorita.”
mugre | literally means dirt or filth, but is used to call insult sth or call sth worthless. “mugre chava, ¡me está poniendo los cuernos con mi primo!”

♡ verb stem + 아서/어서/해서 (=그래서) 그래서 means “because”, “so”… it’s an adverb which allows you to link two sentences linking causes and effects.
1. 저는 너무 먹었요. 그래서 배가 아파요. 2. 저는 너무 먹어서 배가 아파요.
both 1 and 2 mean “because i ate too much, my stomach hurts” or also “i ate too much, so my stomach hurts”.
in the first sentence, we used the adverb 그래서 to express “because/so”, whereas in the second sentence we attached ~어서 to the verb stem.
let’s learn how to build this with other verbs !
🌼 좋다 (to be good) 좋-다 좋+아서 좋아서 = because it’s good
🌼 많다 (to be many, much, a lot..) present -> 많아요 remove 요 put 서 instead 많아서 = because there is a lot
🌼 만나다 (to meet) present -> 만나요 remove 요 put 서 instead 만나서 = because i meet
🌼 좋아하다 (to like) present -> 좋아해요 remove 요 put 서 instead 좋아해서 = because i like
🌼 예쁘다 (to be pretty) present -> 예뻐요 remove 요 put 서 instead 예뻐서 = because it’s pretty
♡ more examples :
🌼 한국어가 어려워서 매일 공부해요 1. because korean is difficult, i study everyday. 2. korean is difficult, so i study everyday. 한국어 - korean language 어렵다 - to be difficult 매일 - everyday 공부하다 - to study
🌼 저는 영화를 좋아해서 많이 봐요. 1. because i like movies, i watch a lot. 2. i like movies, so i watch a lot. 영화 - movie 많이 - a lot 보다 - to watch/see
🌼 저는 배고파서 우리 엄마는 요리할 거에요. 1. because i am hungry, my mom will cook. 2. i am hungry, so my mom will cook. 배고프다 - to be hungry 우리 - our, my 요리하다 - to cook 엄마 - mom
good luck!🤷💬
