The verb TENER is used to indicate possession (“tengo amigos” for instance) and also to explain a duty (“tengo que trabajar”). 
Learn the uses and structures of this verb with us. Remember: tengo + noun = possession; tengo + que + infinitive verb = obligation.

Last Friday on immersion class we visited the Cemetery of Poblenou and learned about the cult to Francesc Canals i Ambrós, aka Santet. Francesc was born on Ciutat Vella in 1877 and died on 1899 at the age of 22. In 1908 City Hall decided to transfer his tomb to a bigger space due to the ever-increasing amount of worshippers. His tomb now has a glass cover through which people can insert notes with their wishes to Santet.
We started a new Spanish group from scratch this week and there are still available places for online and in-person classes. Mondays to Fridays from 5 to 6:50 pm. Sign up at info@bcnlip.com!
We invite you to watch an event that will pay an homage to all citizens that volunteered as translators during the health crisis. The event will be held on Oct 21st. We at Bcnlip are very proud of having been invited to record a video for the event because of our solidarity campaign, Estamos Contigo – Ayuda solidaria con Idiomas. We’ll share this week with you the videos we’ve recorded for Red Solidaria de Acogida.
