Cultural Tip
In most Spanish‑speaking countries, "educación física" is a compulsory school subject, often abbreviated as "ed. física". "Arte" can refer to visual arts, music, drama, or a combination, depending on the school curriculum. When speaking informally, you might hear just "arte" without specifying the type.
