Eso es lo que quizás pienses que significa esta expresión, pero no es correcto.
Seguramente podría decir esa frase si estuviéramos celebrando tu cumpleaños o boda, y luego de decirla todos levantaríamos nuestras copas para … brindar por ti.

‘Let’s give a toast to Peter’ significa ‘Brindemos por Peter’
Esta expresión siempre va seguida de la preposición TO + el nombre de la persona (o sustantivo)
Let’s give a toast to the cook! (si la comida te pareció deliciosa…)
¡Brindemos por el cocinero!

¡Ni se te ocurra decir ‘health’!
Si bien ‘health’ es salud, está referido a la salud física.
Aunque si puedes decir 'To your health'
Lo que puedes decir entonces es:
Cheers!
Bottoms up!
(se refiere al ‘bottom’ fondo de tu copa, es decir que tomes un buen trago)
Slanja (esta palabra se pronuncia slon-cha)

Espero que ahora hayas aprendido como brindar en inglés!







This is to the bus driver who gets us to work on time. The health worker who saves lives and the man who makes paper clips. Here's to the card guards and the musicians who get us dancing and to the Lizzies, Janets and Thelmas who know how we like our tea. This is for the teachers who give children homework and hope. The sportspeople who don't take it personally when we scream at the tv. Here's to the men and women who keep our streets clean and to every person who keeps our country working.
Happy Labor Day!
Do you know why we celebrate May 1st?
The struggle to have eight hours for work, eight hours for recreation, and eight hours for rest was the origin of International Workers' Day, which is also referred to as May Day or Labor Day. The celebration commemorates the Haymarket Massacre in Chicago in 1886, when Chicago police shoot workers who were striking to establish the eight hour day. Many workers died in the event.

Historically, the first congress of the Second International, which was an organization of socialist and labor parties formed in Paris on July 14, 1889, called for international demonstrations on the 1890 anniversary of the Chicago protests. In 1891, the Second International recognized May Day as an annual event. In 1904, Social Democratic Party organizations and trade unions of all countries were called on to demonstrate actively on May First to establish eight hours of work a day and to get workers rights. Unions of all countries were urged to go on strike on May 1, wherever it is possible without injury to the workers.
Most countries celebrate International Workers' Day on May 1st, except in the United States and Canada, where Labor Day is held in September. Millions of working people and their labour unions, all over the world, organize street demonstrations and street marches. Several countries celebrate the day with parades, shows and other patriotic and labour-oriented events. Governmenents are urged to readjust salaries and wages and to acknowledge workers rights to strike and hold unions.

El 19 de Abril 2009 celebramos el primer año de Canadian en Mérida. Muchos estudiantes fueron a la fiesta y se divirtieron mucho, jugando y siendo parte de varias actividades.
También tuvieron la oportunidad de conocer a algunos compañeros de otros grupos, lo cual fue una magnífica oportunidad para darse cuenta que toda la gente reunida allí, más allé de la edad, ocupación o sexo, tenían un objetivo común: aprender un idioma nuevo en una atmósfera agradable e interesante. Y ese es también mi objetivo, que cada estudiante no solo aprenda inglés de forma eficaz, sino que también disfrute del proceso de aprendizaje y compartan un buen momento con sus compañeros.
Un año ha pasado, y mucha gente ha depositado su confianza en Canadian, lo cual me ha dado más y más energía para continuar apoyando a cada estudiante en su camino al éxito.
