Seems I did something to the forum. I am sorry. I want to delete but when I click on my thread there is a window over the delete button that is keeping me from deleting.
I am soooooooooo sorry!
 
Hi,
 
I´m gearing up for a new semester at university and I want to teach my students how important it is to pick the right picture or how to use them right when using flashcards.
I need to show them vocabulary in a language they don´t know. Could you tell me how you say "hurt", "knee", "cry" and "t-shirt" in your language? I will use this picture. Please specify your language and I don´t need French because that´s the first language of my students.

Funny to read the first two posts, because people think "Portuguese and Spanish are the same".

T-shirt in Spanish from Spain is "camiseta". "Playera" is something very different: canvas shoes.

In Mexico both words are used: camista/playera for t-shirt...
 
As Zailda was saying, it �s interesting how a language can be so different depending on the country it �s spoken... indeed very interesting!
