	I'm not fluent in Spanish, but years ago, someone called the library where I worked at the time and asked "Es la libreria?". I replied "No, es la biblioteca," and hung up.

	OK, now I've got the Biblioteca rap from Community going through my head. Discoteca, muñeca, La biblioteca.

	Nice quiz, but "el zoo" should be acceptable for the last one - my students use it, and they live here! Maybe a different clue?

	8 and i dont speak spanish not bad ;D So few people getting heladeria I guess most of the sporclers are school-taught Americans not people who've been to spain.

	zoo can be "jardín zoológico" or just "zoo"

	i tried jardin zoologico and libreria? and i missed heladeria coz i wanted gelado similar to gelato in italian

	Heladeria worked for me...but yeah, this really should accept "el zoo" because even though I know how to say the full thing, "el zoo" is the only way I've ever heard it spoken.

	tried "estetico" before peluqueria, also jardin zoologico (please accept!). Then just zoologico (which was accepted) darn, I didn't even see "hospital"! I always miss something.

	In southern spain we say Zoo, we don´t say parque zoologico

	i'm forgetting mi espanol! I only got 11 and I even remember having a lesson on places.

	Great quiz! BTW, though, "zapatería" also means a 'shoe factory' and a 'shoemaker's shop.' But 'shoe store' is possibly the most common one.

	Really? You're not going to take words unless they have the correct accents...which you can't very well type here? Come on!

	i think you should accept "alberca" for pool! i live in mexico and they use alberca much more frequently than piscina

	when you say "hairdressers" it sounds like you're referring to the people that are hairdressers, in which case it would be "peluquera" and not "peluqueria." I would suggest changing it to "hairdresser's" with an apostrophe. Or you can put beauty salon - "salon de belleza."

	zoologico is the ACTUAL, proper word. leave it as that! libreria, however, should also be acceptable.

	12/20, not bad.

	botica is also a pharmacy and is probably more frequently used.

	thank you Pulp Fiction for teaching me the word zapateria

	rubenams:	Feb 5th, 2012 at 08:45 GMT	1 point
	"Botica" is a traditional drugstore
