Overview
Immersing yourself within the sports world can make your Spanish conversations very entertaining and more in-depth. You can learn a vast amount of verbs, nouns, adjectives and phrases from a native Spanish speaker that that you would not learn in a classroom setting. This will enhance your ability to describe your interests with more detail and connect with the person you are talking with at a more personal level.
This is a very interesting conversation topic because you have the opportunity to explain about not only about your history playing with sports but the overall American sports culture. Especially since we have a huge football event right around the corner that is highly talked about and watched by many people in the United States. I can remember being at my Grandmother’s house surrounded by my brothers and cousins watching football on Sundays and playing football video games while enjoying great meals cooked by my Grandmother. I am sure there are many special memories that a native Spanish speaker can share with you as well about the sporting culture in their home country.
