I remember how Jason Fritze used to assign one person in the class to say, “How disgusting!” in Spanish whenever he pointed at the person during class. It is really quite amusing and a good way to both lighten up the class and teach the phrase.
Paul asks:
I read a blog post by Michael Peto [ed. note: you are going to want to bookmark Michael’s blog – it is excellent, with links to 40 other blogs(!) and you are going to want to take the excellent tour of his classroom as well] about placing exclamations on the back of of chairs to allow students the opportunity to use them during stories, “Inspired by something I once read about Bryce Hedstrom’s classes: the back of the seats of the front row all have exclamations that I encourage them to use in class, so that not only do I get the ohhhhh’s but also a ¡Claro que sí!. Sometimes this can be really amusing.”

I have been looking for a good list of words in Spanish that would be good for this, and I can’t find a good one. I have made a good list, but I know that I am missing a bunch of good words and phrases. I would like to ask the PLC if anyone has a good list.
Best,
Paul
