This week’s topic boils down to manners. Latin Americans always say ‘con permiso’ or ‘excuse me’ when leaving a group or trying to pass someone. This is a concept not used all of the time in the US, especially in busy areas. Many of us are in a hurry and tend to be irritated by the people that are ‘in our way’. If we could simply slow down, allow yourself more time to get to where you are going, and pardon yourself from a group or when trying to get by someone, life would be less stressful. You might also find that people throw garbage at you less when politely passing. You can learn other useful phrases in these Spanish lessons.
Good Luck!
