Mastering Motorhome Terms in Spanish

[Jane And Rog]

I’m trying to learn Spanish but my course of choice and Duolingo are fairly light on Motorhome jargon. I know some basic words but it would be good to know things like “black water”, “pitch” and “electric hook up” in Spanish.

Also, I’d carefully translated this question into Spanish but can’t post to the Spanish learners board is it locked or something?

Have you tried Google translate?

 

[MichaelT]

Pitch would be parcela.

Fun is blessed with both Spanish speaking and Spanish members...why not just list your English words and phrases you want and wait for a reply.I will let Peavy have first go....he is a little more Spanish than me. by 100% vale, hasta pronto ..

Google translate is brilliant. Especially in supermarkets where I haven't a clue what I'm buying. You can just hold your phone over the item and it changes the text.

black water = aguas negras
grey water = aguas grises
¿Dónde puedo descargar aguas negras/grises, por favor?
EHU = conexión eléctrica / enchufe
¿Hay conexión eléctrica / enchufe?
pitch = parcela (MichaelT )
¿Puedo cambiar de parcela, por favor?

One that not many use here, you all say "aire", but that's french, in Spanish is "área" or "área de autocaravanas"

¿Qué más quieres saber?

Can we have a little voice file please? I don’t know if those type of files can be inserted on the forum . I find pronunciation is the most difficult part and even though I think I am saying correct words the local thinks I am speaking dutch!

There you go... (Mrs. Peavy's voice)
By the way, that's the formal, polite way... there's a more informal way, but better learn the polite one (we basically don't usually use "por favor" always)

Oh gosh, I might give up before I start, I don’t think that I could ever replicate that. Sounds lovely though, what a nice voice.

She says thank you

 

[jumar]

Mrs Peavy is so clear and also well done Mr@Peavy for explaining everything so clearly...
Shall I do the same explanations in Murciano...Perhaps not...

The 1st one particularly! I played it 5 or 6 times and still couldn't pick out where she said aguas.

When I played the first one of these I could not get back to MFun, I had to switch phone of & on to get back to this page, any ideas?

We were discussing the speed maybe it was too fast. We tried to go for a medium speed. Did we failed?

Please do
Mrs Peavy's accent is quite neutral, thought she's a posh Santander girl

 

[Bolti]

And don't forget if you haven't got the intonation perfect, they think you are speaking a foreign language.

 

[Tombola]

this is useful press the face to play

[MichaelT]

Wots wrong with pointing and speaking loudly, always works for me

If she is a posh Santander girl does she not speak a different language to that old Spanish stuff ?

Sure, in addition to her mother tongue, she's fluent in English, German and Catalan. She also has some good knowledge of French. I have Spanish and Catalan as mother tongue and I'm fluent in English, I'm good with Portuguese too.
We must be very posh or very lucky

Definitely not language lazy like many Brits (I include myself in that statement)

Brilliant. Especially the voice files

I must say Spaniards are lazy with language generally speaking, it's just us that we are a bit weird
And you do speak our language and living perfectly integrated so, not lazy at all
