Okay, this is the vocabulary for Day of the dead, so, Day of the dead I arrived in Guatemala on the Day of the dead November 1st.

I’m curious about this holiday, holiday is the normal word we use for festival some people say Festival, but holiday is more common, Christmas is a holiday, Halloween is a holiday, holiday is common word the most common word we use just I say I’m curious about this holiday so I go to the cemetery, cemetery is a place for dead people, many, many dead people in a cemetery so that Cemetery is the place for dead people cemetery large area usually large place cemetery, ok, the next paragraph ,the atmosphere is like a party here atmosphere means the general feeling of a place for example, I say this house has a happy atmosphere means the place has a happy feeling maybe it’s a very warm maybe a lot of nice people there many reasons but atmosphere means the feeling of a place, place the atmosphere so the cemetery had an atmosphere a feeling like a party many people everywhere and people were sitting around the graves of their dead ancestors a grave, a grave is a place where one dead person is buried ( bury + ed) in one dead person is in a grave one dead body in a grave, many graves in a cemetery so a cemetery has many, many graves, so, each grave has one body and then many graves and a cemetery. ok sitting around the graves of their dead ancestors, ancestor, ancestor is a person who comes before you in your family for example your grandfather or grandmother is an ancestor or your great grandmother is an ancestor , all the people in your family older than you, who came before you, this people are your ancestors. ancestors, ancestors, ancestors, ok, the clean the graves and add fresh flowers the family’s clean the graves and I walk around through the cemetery and I admire, I prescient I like I admire the beauty of all the colorful flowers, there is also color in the sky because many kids, kids means children so many children many kids are flying kites, kites are paper or plastic with a string and you fly them in the wind usually children fly kites, kites some families are having a picnic next to the graves. Picnic is when you eat outside and eat outside with many people that is a picnic and picnic. Ok, the people they eat, drink and chat together through a laugh and a smile and this is different than the United States, in the United States cemeteries are always somber, somber means very serious, serious somber, serious and not fun and serious and not fun somber, somber.

in America in the United States cemeteries are somber they are somber very serious, not fun home for and we certainly never have festivals or parties next to graves don’t laugh or play music or fly kites in cemeteries either and I say I find that I prefer the Guatemalan approach I find that here find means realize I realized that I prefer the Guatemalan approach I find I realize I find that I prefer.

I realize that I prefer, I understand that I prefer quesadillas find as a different meaning than normal little but I find that I preferred the Guatemalan approach, approach: here approach means way ,I prefer the Guatemalan way the Guatemalan method I preferred the Guatemalan way, I prefer the Guatemalan approach. I like the way they remember and celebrate those who have passed away, passed away to pass away means to die, its very polite very polite and very soft way to say die. If someone someone’s mother dies you can say I’m sorry your mother passed away, sorry your mom passed away. I’m sorry she died, I’m sorry she passed away, passed away is softer and more polite. ok, next sentence I say I like that they acknowledge death acknowledge means to recognize to see and recognize instead of denying it denying is the opposite of acknowledge deny means avoid to say no to something to avoid something is to deny it to deny it in, the opposite of denying is acknowledge that knowledge and deny opposites and so they don’t deny death the way Americans do. I like that there is life as well as death in their cemeteries. Guatemalans call it the Day of the dead but it’s also a day to appreciate life appreciate means celebrate to understand and like something to appreciate okay that is all of the vocabulary listened to the vocabulary lesson a few times read the text several times listen to the audio article a few times and then finally listened to the mini story than many, many times a lot every day.
