Nap Time

I have often thought how much I took nap time for granted when I was a young child. I have thought man wouldn't it be nice to be able to just take a 1 hour or even 30 minute nap before work. This week I learned that in some place of the world like Spain they still do have nap time. From 2:30 to 4:30 in the afternoon most everything shuts down and they have La Siesta. Man that would be great if we could do that here in the U.S.

Me gusta dormir la siesta.
Me gustaría poder tomar una siesta antes del trabajo.
Estoy cansado de la tarde.

Double Negative

This week in Spanish I learned that it is not uncommon to use what we call in English a double negative. This has been very difficult for me to wrap my brain around because my whole life I have been taught that a double negative is wrong. The Spanish language likes to give an empathises on the negative action.

No me gusta que se caliente o sudorosa.
Me gusta ser frío con una chaqueta.
No me gusta el clima en el Canyon.
