Resolution #1

I made a few resolutions for 2009. One of them was to learn Spanish by some means. So since I haven't enrollend in a class or taken some online course, or purchased some extraordinary dvd series...I subscribed to "Spanish Word of the Day." So at the very least, I will learn one word each day. Better than nothing, right? (Heh) Yeah, it's a little bit lazy. *shrugs* We'll see how it goes in a couple of months.

So here is today's Spanish word of the day:

obra, noun
construction site
Apart from its highbrow meaning of artistic work, obra also refers to construction sites and roadworks.Hemos estado visitando la obra.We’ve been visiting the construction site.In the plural, obras refers to construction work, and is something you will often see on signs.OBRASBUILDING UNDER CONSTRUCTIONIf you see the same sign on the road, it means ROADWORKS. And you may well come across it on the Internet.PÁGINA EN OBRASSITE UNDER CONSTRUCTION
