@Bosteye: The best translation I came up with sounds slightly awkward in English: “then you will tell it to me afterward.” The whole sentence would read “And you will like them, maybe, then you will tell it to me afterward, if you try them one time.”

Maybe someone a little stronger with Spanish and English could correct that for me.

By the way, were you able to translate the phrase, “ya me lo diras despues”, in the sentence, “Y te gustaran, tal vez,–ya me lo diras despues–si los pruebas una vez.”

I haven’t been able to get too far with it & it’s driving me nuts. Thanks.

Thank you. I too was struggling with the phrase, “me sientan bien”. I have to say that I love the Spanish version of this Dr. Seuss book. I got it out of the library to supplement my Pimsleur Basic Spanish and have so enjoyed reading it out loud. So musical!!

Yep, I never use “ni por asomo” here in Mexico, in fact never heard of it, but it makes sense anyways.
I’ve always “charco” to mean some water in the floor, or like in a playground after rain. You see, like when is raining you may step on (in?) a charco (pisar un charco) and get your pants wet… not Japanese for パンツ, english pants ^^

> Wordreference.com tells me that charco can colloquially refer to the Atlantic, even though it means pool or puddle.

In British English we sometimes call it “The Pond”, which I guess is similar.
