Julio Iglesias

[Iris]

When I was 15 and I went to Scotland for the first time, the first thing people said when I said I was Spanish was: Ah! Julio Iglesias and that was the end of it.
Now people in England often say: Rafael Nadal...
What would people think of in the States when introduced to a Spaniard?

[Tomisimo]

I dunno. The first thing I think of is paella or tapas. :)

[sosia]

Enrique Iglesias!
Antonio Banderas!
Pau Gasol!
Almodovar!
...............
toreador :D

[Rusty]

Flamenco dancers and the Spanish guitar

[poli]

Anatonio Banderas, Penelope Cruz, Pedro Almodóvar

[Tomisimo]

Everyone else thinks of people and I think of food.... hmmm...

[Iris]

Better to think of both things. The States? A peanut butter sandwich while watching a George Clooney video...

[Elaina]

Yo, al igual que David, pensaría en Paella, tambien en las Corridas de Toros, Sangría, etc.

Julio Iglesias y Willy Nelson!!

Elaina:p:p:applause:

If introduced to a spaniard for the first time I would think of Madrid, architecture, black and red, bullfighting, and a beautiful spanish man. LOL Hey, at least I'm honest.

[ElDanés]

I would also be thinking of los toros y los matadores. :)

[CrOtALiTo]

I'm thinking in Penelope Cruz.

[Rusty]

I'm thinking in Penelope Cruz.
pensar en = to think about/of :)

[ElDanés]

I'm thinking in of Penelope Cruz.
I hope it's okay I correct you? :)

Edit: Oh...

[Rusty]

Both about and of work in this sentence, in case you're wondering.

A magician might say:
Think of a number. What number are you thinking about?

But it is also possible to say:
Think about a number. What number are you thinking of?
Think about a number. What number are you thinking about?
Think of a number. What number are you thinking of?

Ah, okay! I crossed out my previous message, because I thought it was wrong, so thank you for clearing it up. :thumbsup:

[CrOtALiTo]

Danes I'm sorry but your corrections I believe that isn't correct but anyway thank you very much.

Rusty I correct my last post

I'm thinking about of Penelope Cruz

[Rusty]

I'm thinking about of Penelope Cruz

Just use about, or of, but not both at the same time.

I'm thinking of Penelope Cruz. = I'm thinking about Penelope Cruz.

Why black and red?:thinking:

[ElDanés]

Maybe the black bull, and the muleta? :confused:

I like your avatar.:thumbsup:
In Spanish we usually say torero for bullfighter. But in English you can also say matador.:)
