SWEAR WORDS (PALABROTAS)

ENGLISH VOCABULARY - SWEAR WORDS (PALABROTAS)

The first thing that you learn when you start learning a new language are the swear words. Although I am very confident that almost all our students know the swear words in English, the actual term "swear words" is often not immediately known or recognised by Spanish people.

"Swear" can also be used in the verb form: "He swears all the time" or can also be used in a court of law (albeit with a different meaning: "to promise"): "I swear to tell the truth and nothing but the truth".

Hope that helps!
