How to learn Spanish for beginners and how to say I’m sweating in Spanish

If you have asked yourself “how to learn Spanish for beginners?” In this lesson you will learn some new Spanish vocabulary words and common mistakes to avoid. You will also learn to say “I’m sweaty” in Spanish. The first mistake is one that I heard from a gringo here in Medellín, Colombia, when I was in the “gym”.

The “error” (mistake) was actually “very funny” (very funny) or as they say here in Medellín “very charro” (very funny). After working out in the “gym” today, I heard the American say to his friend “I’m going to take a shower. I’m sweaty. I’m really stuck!”

The first phrase “I’m going to bathe” literally means “I’m going to bathe.” It is right. In Colombia, it is common for people to use the verb “bañarse” instead of “Ducharse” (showering), although in reality one is going to shower instead of taking a bath.

His second sentence was fine too:

I am sweaty.

I am sweaty

Note that you may also hear native Spanish speakers use the phrase “I’m sweaty” to say “I’m sweaty.” If you really want to sound “fancy,” say “I’m sweaty.” It’s a lot like saying “I’m sweating.”

But his third sentence, “I’m really stuck!” it literally means “I’m stuck!” And I’m sure what he really meant is “I’m very clingy!” Which means “I’m very clingy!”

So that’s the correct way to say “I’m clingy.”

I am sticky.

I am sticky.

Unless, of course, you really want to say, “I’m stuck.”

I’m stuck.

I’m stuck.

Remember that there are Spanish words related to “sticky” and “sticky” that you might want to know.

One word is “glue”.

Another is “paste” (paste).

The children used glue to glue their pictures.

The children used glue to glue their pictures together.

Another word is “sticky”. Pegao is actually a Puerto Rican slang word that means “near,” as in dancing near. After being popularized by the successful recording of the Puerto Rican reggaeton duo Wisel & Yandel called “Pegao”, young people from all over Latin America are now familiar with the word Pega and its meaning “to dance near” or “to dance pegado.”

Puerto Ricans also have a second meaning for the word stick:

Rice crust found in the bottom of the pot.

This reminds me how it is so common to find that in different Spanish-speaking countries they have different words that mean the same things.

In the DR (Dominican Republic) the “people” use the word “concón” for the crispy rice that sticks to the bottom of the pot.

And when I used to live in Barranquilla, Colombia, I would hear the word “cucayo” used for the crispy layer of rice that is scraped off the bottom of the pot.
