I came across a word I didn’t know today. Nothing surprising in that, I do it all the time. In Spanish it is more of an event when I come across a word I do know. But this is a word I should know and that should be part of the lexicon of anyone who is regularly online in Tenerife and interested in improving their Spanish speaking skills. Surprisingly I have never seen it before (in this context) and neither has my 40,000 entry Español-Inglés dictionary.
The word is bitácoras and it means blogs. If you are living in Tenerife and trying to pick up a bit of Spanish, scanning Spanish blogs is a great way to do that. Just as in English you will find a blog for every interest so too there are countless Canarian blogs covering every conceivable subject from birdwatching to bizarre events on the islands to lifestyle and trends. Finding one in a niche that interests you is a good way to build up vocabulary and contacts in that subject.
I dont know if this the same kind of thing..But I am an avid beader. I used to look on the internet for beading sites then I came across a couple of Spanish sites and I was away. I wondered if spanish beading was the same as ours. No it is definitely not..
Here are 2 of them

The tutorials are in spanish of course and very helpful in my quest for learning Spanish.
That’s exactly what I mean.
Thanks for the link, glad you liked cadena 100!
I found your blog on google and read a few of your other posts. I just added you to my Google News Reader. Keep up the good work. Look forward to reading more from you in the future.
Hola de parte de parejaspareja.es, encontre tu blog navegando por la red buscando abalorios en google. Me parece super interesante la información que tienes en tu blog y sin lugar a dudas regresare a leerlo. Tengo una pregunta, si podria traducir tu blog “Tenerife Tattle » Speaking Spanish – Bitácoras” y añadirlos a un de mis blogs en italiano? Y por supuesto con el link direccionando a tu blog. Estare esperando tu respuesta. parejaspareja.es
