This is such and interesting concept that I started learning more about recently- thanks to @Gary Cooper who sparked a discussion around this. Ethical Datives are essentially when reflexive pronouns are used in a way that is gramatically unneccessary. Understanding this concept is helpful for identifying when something is being expressed in a gramatically correct way, versus when it's simply a way of expressing an idea a bit more emphatically. Here is a nice breakdown I found on the topic linked below. I will share some more examples in the comments a bit later. https://elon.io/grammar/spanish-latin-america/verbs/passive-impersonal/ethical-dative

Buenos días Yaprendices... Listen, my apologies for missing yesterday- I had a lot of things to handle at this new school I am teaching at- had to get oriented. Here is what I meant to post yesterday: Can you name and describe 5 items in your home? This week's theme is "las cosas del hogar". Let's share what we know!! If you're at an more intermediate level- try to find items that are less common (and learn what they are called!)... looking forward to seeing what y'all find en la casa (and maybe learning something new myself)!

Hola Yaprendices! It's that time again! Let's share our Spanish learning goal for the week. Think of something you want to challenge yourself to commit to doing this week that your future self will really thank and appreciate you for. Complete this sentence: Esta semana, mi meta en español es ________. Bonus: Tell us how you're going to make it happen. 😉

Hola Yaprendices! Okay so I found an interesting Cuban telenovela called "Ojo de Agua"! Find it here and comment what you learn! Below is my rough translation of the description of the novela. It's about a Cuban girl named Nadia who is a farmer that returns to her town to transform the family farm with an organic honey project. Her dream clashes with her half sister's plans, unleashing conflicts, romance and lots of magical moments. “Ojo de Agua” es la nueva telenovela cubana que sigue la vida de Nadia, una agrónoma que regresa a su pueblo para transformar la finca familiar en un proyecto de miel orgánica. Su sueño se enfrenta a los planes de su media hermana, desatando conflictos, romances y momentos llenos de magia.
