Spanish 1 to 1 Business

Those who would benefit the most from these Spanish tutorials are those who feel they need to learn Spanish to help them out in their business lives. For starters, learning salutations and business etiquette is integral; once these have been practiced then reading and writing lessons can start. Typical studiers have been those involved in international import/export, negotiations and acquisitions, those in multinational companies requiring another language, and those working in any way with international governments and relevant administration. Just our simplest lesson for beginners will have students finishing the lessons with basic telephone and e-mail Spanish, as well as survival Spanish should a visit to the country be necessary.

Los toros son una de las tradiciones españolas más conocidas en todo el mundo y forman una parte muy importante de su cultura. Las corridas de toros como las conocemos hoy, nacen en el siglo XVIII, cuando la nobleza abandona el toreo a caballo y el pueblo comienza a hacerlo a pie, demostrando su valor y destreza. Al principio eran ejercicios de gimnasia. Hoy se considera como un bello espectáculo, un arte y una fiesta, donde el torero (el hombre) tiene que enfrentarse con el toro bravo (la bestia), animal fiero, símbolo de fortaleza.
Para comprender el toreo es necesario conocer su lenguaje, los componentes y las personas que participan en la corrida.
Se necesita tener una plaza de toros. Hay muchas plazas de toros en España. Una muy famosa es la Plaza de Toros de la Maestranza en Sevilla. En la plaza de toros, ocurre la corrida. Generalmente, en una corrida tres toreros torean seis toros, dos cada torero. La corrida se divide en tres partes denominadas tercios que se marcan con un toque de clarín.
En el primer tercio se torea con el capote. En el segundo se ponen las "banderillas". Y en el tercero, el torero utiliza la muleta hasta matar al toro con la espada.
Si el torero lo hace bien, el público le premia con una o dos orejas del toro, y como máximo el rabo. El mayor honor para el torero es salir de la plaza a hombros de la multitud.

Hay opiniones muy diferentes sobre el toreo. Algunas personas creen que es una tortura cruel para el animal. Otras personas creen que el toreo es un símbolo patriótico donde lo más importante es el valor y la destreza del torero para ponerse delante del toro sin “salir corriendo”.
