    I love the American people.

    From early childhood, it was difficult to learn English, but I really liked it this language . I liked American movies and music. The first American musicians whose music I listened to was - 50Cent and Eminem. I began to learn English well only when I entered in college. My first English teacher forbade talking in the American dialect, and for that she was fired.
    So I taught myself American English.

    El gripe. Ahora estoy un poquito enferma con el gripe. Trabajo en un estudio y hay muchas personas que vienen al dentro y afuera. Creo que si una persona está enferma, es muy importante a quedar en casa. Es muy desconsiderado a salir la casa y encontrar otras personas. Por cierto, van a infectar. En los dos meses pasados, la gente en mi oficina tuvieron el gripe dos o tres veces cada persona. Es increíble y muy desgraciado.

    Is this ok?

    Is it ok to write: "Talking about colleges I think it’d be very helpful if you can get me some information about how each college manages about terms and exams, and you can also ask them about scholarships!"

     

    Hola Mariano... I hope I understand what your purpose is in this sentence.

     

    In regards to colleges, I think it'd be very helpful if you could provide me with some information about  each college's terms and exams.  Could you also inquire about scholarships?

     

    The reason "if you can get me some" should be replaced with "provide" is that "get" sounds kind of blunt especially when it's a request.  "Provide" is a more polite way of saying it.  The part that I was unclear about was "how each college manages about terms and exams" - if you would explain to me what you're looking for maybe I could suggest a way to say it.  With "and you can also ask them about scholarships!" - again, I think it's more polite to present it as a request if that's your intention.

    Hope that helps!
