Your posts are super helpful, I love it. I am going to continue reading your lessons.
I too learned “A ver..” like Michelle, it’s interesting to see the difference in countries.

I also learned that the Spanish use “A ver…” in the same way that Americans use “Let’s see…”

@Londoner – Thanks for your input, that is also a good way to translate the phrase. I suppose the exact translation depends a bit on the context the phrase is used it.

I would translate it as “go check” or “go ahead and check”… to me it means “check to see”, more or less, rather than “look and see”. But since it’s an expresion maybe it’s a bit open to discussion.

I’m from Madrid, by the way.

@Sampere – As far as I know, “mira a ver” can be used exactly like “look and see.” If anyone else can think of another meaning, post it here. Look and see is the most common meaning I can think of.

@Sergio – Thanks for your comment and I’m glad you like my blog. To answer your question, “cell phone” is American English… most people from Britan will call a “movil” a “mobile.” Thanks again for the comment!

Hi, I’ve been reading your blog for a month and this is the first time I comment in your blog.

I’m from Spain, and I do like the Learn Spanish posts, since I’d never realize of these kind of stuff without being helped from the “outside”.

Sorry for my possible mistakes.

PD: Cell phone is American English, isn’t it?
