El Baloncesto

El Baloncesto:

The Spanish term "el baloncesto" translates to "basketball" in English. To help you remember this, think of "balón," which sounds like "ball," and "cesto," which is close to "basket." Imagine a basketball game where instead of a hoop, players are aiming to toss the ball into a giant basket of "cheese toast" (sounds like "cesto"). Picture the team celebrating as they score not just points, but also delicious snacks! Next time you hear "baloncesto," think of "ball-in-cheese-toast" and you'll never miss that it means basketball. 🏀
