Happy Valentine's Day! Before yesterday I received an email from Italki on the occasion of Valentine's Day. In this email there was a picture of a heart in which you could read "I love you" in many languages from all over the world. Then I looked and looked, but couldn't find it, it wasn't there! They had forgotten to put "I love you" in Spanish. I thought, "That's the first thing you learn when you learn any language, isn't it? Many people will continue without knowing it". Well, I thought, "if others can fix many actresses' hips or Sarkozy's waist, I'm not going to be able to fix this?" Then I opened Photoshop and fixed it! If you didn't know, now you know: TE QUIERO Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day!

 

The day before yesterday (or, "Two days ago", I received an email from Italki on about the special occasion of Valentine's Day. In this the email there was a picture of a heart in which you could it read "I love you" in many languages from all over around the world.

Then I realized something was missing. I looked and looked, but I couldn't find it! It wasn't there! They had forgotten to put "I love you" in Spanish!


I thought, "that's the first thing you learn when you learn any language, isn't it? Many people will continue on without knowing how to say 'I love You' it".

Well, I thought, "if others can fix many actresses' hips or Sarkozy's waist, I'm not going to be able to fix this!"

I opened Photoshop and I fixed it! So, if you didn't already know, now you do:

TE QUIERO

Happy Valentine's Day!

 

***

Very well written, but I am helping you sound more native and tell a story.

 

"The day before yesterday" - In Spanish you have a word which is "anteayer", we don't have a word in English and it isn't very natural to say or write 'The day before yesterday" we would just say the length of time, "two days ago". It is more natural.

 

"I received an email from Italki on the occasion of Valentine's Day." - being that you wrote the word occasion, it is more natural to couple it with "speacial occasion of". Otherwise you can write this sentence as, "I received an email from Italki about Valentine's Day."

 

"picture of a heart" - better to include, "there was a graphic picture of a heart" being that it's an illustration and not just a photograph. Also sets the reader for the additional information that there is artwork on this "graphic".

 

"from all over the world" - this phrase works, but reads better as "from around the world."

 

"I thought, "That's .... " - you can also write, "I said to myself, "That's the first thing." Being that you are talking to yourself, you can also write this sentence this way.

 

I would write it like this:

 

Happy Valentine's Day!

Two days ago I received a Valentine's Day email from Italki. There was a graphic heart which read, "I love you" in different languages. Something was missing. I realized they forgot to write "I love you" in Spanish! I asked myself, "isn't this one of the first things you learn when you start learning a new language?" I want people to know how to say, "I love you" in Spanish. Then I thought, "if they can fix actresses' hips or Sarkozy's waist, I'll fix this!" I opened Photoshop and added the missing language. So, if you didn't already know how to say "I Love You" in Spanish, now you do: TE QUIERO

Well done Fernando!  Remember that it is grammatically incorrect in English to begin a sentence with "then" or "and"

Photoshop is the bomb!  Although a graphic designer I know looks down upon it and insists I use Illustrator, but learning Illustrator seems impossible, so forget it!  Sometimes you have to "go with what you know."

Then I looked and looked, but couldn't find it, it wasn't there! They had forgotten to put "I love you" in Spanish.

I thought, "That's the first thing you learn when you learn any language, isn't it? People are going to go on without ever knowing it.". (I usually learn the swear words... ;)

Well, I thought, "if others can fix many actresses' hips or Sarkozy's waist, then why can't I fix this?"

Then I opened Photoshop and fixed it! If you didn't know, now you know:

TE QUIERO

Happy Valentine's Day!
