This is like a dream comes true. After two years and two months of learning Spanish, we are able to play Scrabble, in a Spanish style. On the last revision lesson before heading to the next module – Higher Intermediate 1 – our teacher Alejandra asked if the four of us wished to try out Scrabble. And we said sure thing! Cynthia and I have tried to play Spanish Scrabble using an English set when we were at Fraser’s Hill earlier on this year. It did not work. A correct alphabet set is important. Perhaps we shall import a Spanish set and make it a habit to play Scrabble with our classmates.
In this particular game, we have formed 46 words with a combined score of 408 (lots of room for improvement!). Needless to say, due to my not-too-fantastic linguistic ability, I got the lowest score – by a mile. The other three were doing really well! Nevertheless, I participated in almost all the rounds, with words that I know. Just that the words that I know are not too … long. For my readers who are studying Spanish and for my future reference, here is a list of words we used (some words we have repeated).
