Intro
The present project aims to teach the use of the Spanish language to upper-intermediate students with a vocabulary focused on the insult or curse. Through short TikTok videos, and using a fictitious character (Hispanomo, el gnomo) the project proposal is to explore the insult as a grammatical category, teaching the grammatical structures used in the form of insulting, as well as expanding the students' vocabulary and the cultural context of it. Due to the connection between emotions such as anger or frustration, both related to a specific lexicon, the project proposes to elaborate an approach to this topic, taking as a necessity the absence of this type of expressions in most textbooks, and pointing as a benefit to a greater internalisation of the language.
