EL DIARIO DE DIEGO: clase n.11 segundo acto

Queridos amigos y amigas, sé que mi familia solamente quiere protegerme, pues dicen que soy muy chico. Sobre todo, es mi madre la que lo dice. Muchas veces, mi mamá también trata a mi hermana como si fuera chica, aunque ya tiene veinticuatro años. Pero yo no soy estúpido. Y mi hermana tampoco es estúpida. Ellos, los más grandes, sobre todo mi mamá, creen que no estoy enterado de nada, que mi hermana no esté enterada de nada y piensan que yo, como niño, casi puedo vivir en un cuento de hadas. Casi. Pero no, aunque solo tengo nueve años...

I'll post the English translation, but what about the idea to study some grammar and context?😂

Here the tool:

Idioms:

SER CHICO/CHICA: it's the idiomatic Latin American lexicon to express to be still a child or in any way too young to face something bigger. SER is the infinitive of the verb TO BE. In this chapter it's conjugated at the first singular person (soy) plus the quantity adverb MUY = VERY.

Here the video-slide with the pronunciation (expressing little Diego's opinion about what his parents and grandmother, mainly his mother, think about him: that he lives in a fairy tail because he's only 9 years old):

I registered the pronunciation and to do the video-slide I added an image of a castle in a children's story style, from Pixabay royalty free. You find it here:

Video-slide prepared with the free tools Slideshow Creator and ClipChamp default for Windows11.

Did you read the lesson and watched the video-slide? Very well, let's go now to see the English translation🤗:

DIEGO'S DIARY (=EL DIARIO DE DIEGO): lesson n.11 second part (=clase n.11 segundo acto)

Dear friends, I know that my family only wants to protect me, because they say I am too young. It's mostly my other who says so. My mother also often treats my sister as if she were a child, even though she is already twenty-four years old. But I'm not stupid. And my sister is not stupid either. They, the older ones, especially my mum, think that I'm not aware of anything, that my sister is not aware of anything and they think that I, as a child, can nearly live in a fairy tale. Nearly. But no, even though I'm only nine years old....
