25 Spanish Sayings Picture Book: Free Printables for Spanish Teachers

FREE DOWNLOAD BUTTON

We put together this 25 Spanish Sayings Picture Book and give it away for FREE because we believe that understanding real world Spanish, proverbs, and everyday expressions is crucial to learn Spanish.

This is a critical aspect of foreign language learning, as outlined by the published Standards for Foreign Language Learning. Specifically, Standard 1.2 states that students must comprehend and interpret written and spoken Spanish on various topics. Furthermore, the language examples should represent the diversity found among national and regional Spanish communities, including colloquial usage, linguistic patterns, dialectical variations, and lexicon that are standard within those communities.

This free booklet includes full page illustrations of these sayings:

1. A calzón quitado
2. A mal tiempo, buena cara
3. Barriga llena, corazón contento
4. Buscar las cinco patas al gato
5. Como cucaracha en baile de gallinas
6. Consultarlo con la almohada
7. Contra viento y marea
8. De tal padre, tal hijo (De tal palo, tal astilla)
9. El que ríe último, ríe mejor
10. En boca cerrada no entran moscas
11. En el país de los ciegos, el tuerto es rey
12. Entre la espada y la pared
13. Feliz como una lombriz
14. Haber gato encerrado
15. Hay que estirar los pies hasta donde llegue la sábana
16. Los trapos sucios se lavan en casa
17. Ladrón que roba ladrón (tiene cien años de perdón)
18. Más rápido que volando
19. No hay mal que dure cien años, ni cuerpo que lo resista
20. No todo lo que brilla es oro
21. Ponerse las pilas
22. Predicar la moral en calzoncillos
23. Quedarse sin la soga y sin la cabra
24. Ser buen diente
