Hi there Lara! You did a great job here. You even managed to put tildes and all that weird Spanish stuff, soooo...high five! Let's take a look at the few minor things we should correct, okay? Follow me.

- Intento número dos...'EncantadA de conocerte'

"Encantada", Yep, since you're a girl, you are "encantada", and not "encantado". Feminines end usually with an A. Yeah, I know it's a real pain in the arse having to coordinate genders and all that. Try to always remember Emily Howard when speaking or writing in Spanish, and say to yourself...I'm a lady! - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXPGwqPiR0k

- Me llamo Lara, tengo veinte años. ¡Soy neozelandesa!

Brilliant! You just forgot that weird exclamation sign we use at the beginning of a sentence in Spain. You know, this one "¡". Good onya, young Kiwi!

- En mi tiempo libre me GUSTA hacer ejercicio, ir al cine y BRONCEARME en la playa.

Impressive again. You know, the verb "to like" in Spanish is "gustar", right? Present tense is "me gusta...te gusta...le gusta...", right? Well, then, "me gusta hacer ejercicio" is the right thing to say. Very good! And about BRONCEARME, well, quite the same, you know. BRONCEARSE is the third person, but since you're talking about yourself, you have to use the first person, which is...well, yes, broncearme. Enjoy the summer, lucky girl.

- Me gustan casi todos los deportes. En especial, me gusta el fútbol.

And that's an amazing goal. Thumbs up, Lara!

- En la foto ESTAMOS mi sobrina y YO.

Nice try! You've used the verb "to be", which is okay. But you know, in Spanish, "to be" may mean "ser" (I am tall) as well as "estar" (I am at home). Here, you are in the picture, but you are not the picture itself...sooo, you have to use the verb "estar". And well, I'm sure that "me" you wrote there was just a typo.

- Su nombre es Saige; NACIÓ el uno de diciembre.

Did you mean she was born on the first of December? If that's so, the verb you have to use is NACER (to born, to be born). "Nació" is just the past tense for her...("she was born"). Beautiful name, by the way.

- Ella es muy hermosa...¿o quizás no soy OBJETIVA?

By "objetiva", we mean your oppinion may not be trusted because you know...but come on, you know she's beautiful, indeed!

- ¡NOS VEMOS! (¡HASTA LUEGO!)

Haha, "cheers" is a lovely way to say goodbye, but I'm afraid we don't say that in Spanish. We'd rather say "nos vemos" or "hasta luego". Both mean "see you later", "catch up with you later"...you know, those kinda things.

And that's all. Merry Christmas, Lara and Saige! Hope she doesn't get scared when she see that chubby dude in red going down the fireplace!
