un montón de postre!
Today’s word: montón
Montón means lots & lots, similar to mucho, but used to express extremity. I’ve heard it used in the following ways:
- un montón de gente = tons of people
- un montón de cosas que hacer = tons of things to do
- un montón de tráfico = lots of traffic
- un montón de tiempo = tons of time
- un montón de ruido = lots of noise
My online dictionary tells me montón can also be used to mean the following:
- ordinary, average … as in, un hombre del montón (“just an average guy”)
- to stand out from the crowed … as in, salirse de montón
- there were lots of potholes … as in, tenía baches a montones
Another fun fact: I don’t think it has any relation (can someone correct me if it does?), but there’s also a pueblo in Zaragoza, Spain called Montón. The best part? It only has around 150 inhabitants, not tons & tons.

You have already mentioned my favorite Spanish word: abuelita! That’s always how I thought of my Grandma Jansen in my head. Beloved abuelita.
