- I am a secondary teacher of English in Southern Spain. I studied MFL in Jaén and I got a DPSI certificate in Law in England. I started my teaching career in Newcastle back in 2000, where I lived for 3 years. Once I returned home, I taught in a public school and got ready to sit the "oposiciones" exam, which I passed!!! Currently, I am teaching in Spain, which has become my definite residence in since 2004.

"Pintar la mona" = To paint the she-monkey*
To be looking and not working. Also, "Calentar la silla" can be used to describe a situation with the same meaning, to be useless.
"Míralos. Ahí están pintando la mona con lo que hay que hacer."
"No sabe más que pintar la mona"
"Yo para calentar la silla, me voy"
