As you may or may not know, Visual Link Languages uses an animated image to represent each word or phrase that is taught in our course.  Sometimes it can be difficult to portray some thoughts as an image.  Sometimes we come up with some pretty interesting and comical solutions.  For example, how would you portray the phrase, “until later” (hasta luego in Spanish), as an image?  Well here’s what we came up with:

A care bear riding a motorcycle?  What does that have to do with anything?  I’m not entirely sure, but imagine this.  Let’s say your buddy, or an acquaintance, or even some stranger came up to you, dressed like a big care bear and said, “Hey buddy!  You wanna go for a ride?”

I don’t know about you but I’d probably say, “Ya..I think I’ll pass on that. See ya later dude!”, and get the heck out of there.  I mean why would you go on a ride with some dude in a big purple care bear suit?  That would just be weird, not to mention, dangerous.  I mean how could he see to drive wearing that ridiculous bear head?  Anyway, that’s how I get until later from that image.  So when you come across this phrase in our courses, you’ll totally see the connection now.  Happy learning!

P.S.  I feel I should mention that “until later,” while it is a literal translation of the Spanish Phrase “hasta luego” (hasta = until, luego = later), the actual meaning of hasta luego more closely expressed in English as see ya later.
