Santiago vs. el humo
Posted by admin on July 24th, 2008 filed in UncategorizedLa capital chilena, Santiago de Chile, crece año tras año a un alto ritmo. Su actividad y población aumenta bastante rápido, y la ciudad se agranda. La ciudad se encuentra en un valle entre las montañas de los Andes. El principal problema que tiene hace décadas es el estancamiento de smog, que se produce al haber poca circulación de aire. Las montañas retienen el humo y baja la ventilación.
El aumento urbano de Santiago produce cada vez más contaminación de aire, que esta por arriba de los índices internacionales. Uno de los principales causantes es el transporte. Los planes pensados para bajar la contaminación todavía no funcionan, y por eso fueron reelaborados. La calidad de aire es mala y afecta directamente la salud de los ciudadanos.

Hola Andres, mi nombre es Casey. I’m currently taking Spanish classes in Washington, DC with a native instructor. Actually I took first Spanish classes in Maryland, but I work in DC now and that's why I take the Spanish lessons in Washington, DC (with a native Spanish tutor). I just wanted to thank you for making this blog and for the articles you write. Like I mentioned, I’m a Spanish student, right now I consider myself to be in an intermediate level. I understand most of what I hear and talk some. I love speaking Spanish and the culture, the Latin American culture was what motivated me to start taking Spanish lessons. I plan to travel to Latin America (Antofagasta, Chile, donde vive lo primos de mi novio). I hope to find Spanish tutors there, since I want to speak Spanish perfectly well! I really like the articles you post. They are very helpful, they are not only interesting, but they also help me practice my Spanish. Even though I don’t understand some of what is written, it helps me a lot to see the words that I’ve learned in my Spanish class used in sentences. I attended even one of the meetups you are promoting on your web site www.learnspanishdc.com and I enjoyed it and learned really much.
