Now, "ayuno" is not a word a language learner would normally stumble upon, not even if visiting a Spanish-speaking country for a year...yes, that's me! LOL! This is new to me, and I love it! I will definitely use it. There are so many cognates and ways to tie words in with English to learn more English, it's great to have another one! Today in discussing "abrazar" (to hug), inside of this you can find "braz(o)" (arm), leading to the hug synonym, "embrace", coming from Latin "brācchium" (and others), correlating to "bracelets".... anyone fall asleep yet? LOL! I LOVE this stuff! :0)

Y no debe sentirse mal, Enrique, porque la mayoria de los estudiantes estadounidenses no tienen ningun idea del origen de "breakfast", y es su lenguaje!
