Further to Blog the other week, where I shared a bit of 'Emergency' Pregnancy vocab, I thought I continue in a similar vein an share a bit of 'Post-Natal' vocab.
When I look back at the list it amazes me that I didn't already know most of the words listed. I Suppose it tells me two things : That in the four years that I have had my daughter I haven't realised how much better Spanish has got, and that the act of using that vocab repeatedly has etched it into my mind.
Of course, the words are very basic and very limited, and no substitute for a decent phrase book or dictionary - or better still a course of lessons to improve you standard of Spanish, but the words and phrases were invaluable to me !
Guarderia : Nursery / Kindergarten
Carro : Pram
Silla Alto : High Chair
Cuña : Cot
Pañales : Nappies
Vacunas : Vaccinations
Varicela : Chicken Pox
Tos : Cough
Al Pecho : Breast(fed)
Biberon: Baby Bottle
Chupete : Dummy
Orinal : Potty
Like I say, no replacement for a sound understanding of the language, let alone guidebook, but some good solid vocab that I seem to recall being stuck on the fridge door for many months !
