Phenomenon

This is the ultimate critical review of Coldplay on record, on stage and on screen. In the space of just three amazing albums Coldplay have been transformed from unknowns to international superstars. Drawing on archive film and interviews with the band a team of leading music critics and working musicians reviews and assesses the music of Coldplay to reveal the secrets behind the Coldplay phenomenon. The Coldplay Phenomenon was made with complete editorial freedom. This film is not authorised, approved by or associated with Coldplay. The result is the most hard hitting and frank review of the personalities, work and music of Coldplay ever produced.
Customer Review: Phenomenon / Coldplay DVD
I bought this as a birthday gift for a huge coldplay fan, watched it with him, and was extremely disappointed that I can't return it. This is not a concert DVD. It is a "review." There are several featured songs on the DVD, but not one of them is played in its entirety without being interrupted by a "commentator." The "reviews" are well done, but in hindsight, I should have rented this before buying it.


On your next visit to Panama, Peru or Uruguay communicating will be easy as you read through the basics in Spanish.

The English vowels a e i o u remain similar in writing in Spanish. The alphabets all 29 of them are easy with an addition of 'e' e.g. Ce,de,ge and so on. A rapid one, two, three is uno, dos, tres, going upto 'mil' for 1000 and tres milliones for 3 million.

A dairy of a visitor to Spain:

The next time it rains wear un impermeable (raincoat). After sight seeing you can remove your unos zapatos (shoes) and relax in unas sandalias (sandals). Winters require un sueter (sweater) and una camiseta (T shirt) for summers.

Pan, mantequilla (Bread and butter) for breakfast and some refreshing caf or te (coffee or tea). It is wise to carry some aqua (water).

You could shop for jackets in rosado or azul (pink and blue) respectively or chose a negro (black) sueter. Morado (violet) is a velvety colour and rojo (red) is a favourite.

You could pick gifts for your esposo ( husband) or your (daughter) hija. Your aunt (tia) and sobrina (niece) will have to wait for their turns.

You will surely miss your padre and madre (pa and mom) and you may write to them. Sabado and domingo ( Saturday and Sunday) are cool days with most time resting on your (back) la espalda. With too much shopping lists in your (head) la cabeza washing your (face) la cara will freshen you. Other errands can be done on Lunes - Monday and Viernes - Friday.

The Spanish language was formed from Vulgar Latin with lot of borrowings from Basque, Iberia and Arabic. Change is seen in the language old Spanish and modern Spanish words for e.g. efeto to efecto, licion to leccion, coluna to columna etc. Latin borrowings of original Latin words like bonus and Taurus are bueno to toro in Spanish. Dialects are different as a vela becomes candela though both stand for the candle.

Today, there are many Spanish classes conducted everywhere to help people learn and enhance their compatibility to the fast moving world. It is necessary though however fluent one is in the language to understand various dialects and factors affecting the change in grammar variables. All this calls for a comprehensive study of the Spanish language.

To learn the language better, you can check some good proverbs.
