Ok! This is the vocabulary for day of the dead. So the day of the dead.
I arrive in Guatemala on The Day of the Dead, November 1st. I'm curious about this holiday...
holiday is the normal word we use for a festival. some people say festival but holiday is more common . Christmas is a holiday. Halloween is a holiday. So holiday is common word, the most common word we use. ok?
So 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 cemetery it's right! the place for dead peolples cemetery! so large area usually large place. Cemetery. Ok!
The next paragraph I say the atmosphere is like a party...
here atmosphere means the general feeling of a place. E.G. I might say this house has a happy atmosphere. what means the place has a happy feeling, maybe it's a very HORMY* maybe a lot of nice people there. many reasons but the atmosphere means the feeling of a place.
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.
Grave, Grave is a place were one dead person is buried. One dead person is in a grave, one dead body is in a grave. Many graves in a cemetery. Right! So a cemetery has many, many graves. So which grave has one body. and then many grave in a cemetery. ok!
Sitting around the graves of their dead ancestors. And ancestor is a person who comes before you in your family E.G. your grandfather or grandmother is an ancestor, or your great grandmother is an ancestor. So, All the people in your family older than you who came before you these people are your ancestor. ok!
They clean the graves and add fresh flowers (the families clean the graves). And I walk around through the cemetery and admire(l appreciate, 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 string and you fly then in the wind usually children fly kites). Some families are having a picnic next to the graves.
picnic is when you eat outside. Right? Eat outside with many people. there is a picnic. Ok? They eat, drink, and chat together. They laugh and smile. This is different then Usa. In the Usa cemeteries are always somberv somber means very serious somber! Serious and not fun. somber in American in the Usa cemeteries are somber. They are somber. very serious not fun.
We certainly never have festivals or parties next to graves. We 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 realize that, I prefer the guatemalan approuch, I find, I realize. I find that, I understand that I prefer. ok? so here find has a different meaning than normal. a little bit.
So, I find that I prefer the guatemalan approuch.
approuch! here approuch means way. Ok? I prefer the Guatemaln way. the guatemaln method. I prefer the guatemalan way. I prefer the guatemalan approuch. Ok?
I Like the way they remember and celebrate those who have passed away.
passed away. to passed away means to die. it's very polite very polite and very soft way to say die. so, if someone (someone's) mother dies you can say: I am sorry your mother passed away. I am sorry your mom passed away. I am sorry she died. I am 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. denying means avoid it's to say no to something. to avoid something its' to denying it. to denying. the opposite of denying it's acknowledge. Acknowledge and denying opposite.
ok! So they don't denying 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 is also a day to appreciate life.
appreciate means celebrate to understand and like something.so to appreciate ok!?
that is all of the vocabulary. Listen to the vocabulary lesson a few times. read the text several times. listen the audio article a few times. And then finally listen to the mini-story many, many times, a lot, every day. ok.
