I am looking for a language partner who speaks Spanish so I can practice Spanish and help my partner learn English. I would grade myself excellent at English and perhaps intermediate in Spanish. I live in Portland Oregon, am retired from the Dept. of Army, and do some freelance writing. I have taken various Spanish courses over the years but never learned the language. I realize that speaking it is the essential discipline for learning it. So here I am, still trying to learn this beautiful language.

    El maratón de Boston

    El año pasado, el maratón de Boston fue el sitio de un ataque terrorista. Fue una tragedia muy triste para mi país, y sobre todo para los que viven en mi estado.

    Mi esposo decidió correr en el maratón este año, para mostrar su solidaridad con los que fueron impactados por el ataque.

    Él ha entrenado con muchas esfuerzas -- perhaps mucha esfureza is more accurate -- para poder correr los 26.2 milas. Ayer hizo una carrera de 20 miles. ¡Imagínese! A mi no me gustaría correr ni media mila, pero esto -- estoy --  muy orgullosa de él.

     

    Bueno para el!  Good luck!

    Let me just say that this writing is hard to understand because you use technical terms and rather difficult sentence construction.  So. we say it has a high fog factor, a nice way to say it is not very clear and difficult to understand.  Take "essential conceptualization" for example.  Couldn't you just say the main ideas or the basic approach?  Try rewriting this so the ordinary person can understand it.  Now, that is a challenge.

     

    Corrections please!

    The Project Justification includes the reasons that induced me to carry out this quasi-experimental Research. The existing problem is posed and it manifests the Mexican Primary School Descontextualization of Curricular Model 2011, as a primary cause of the problem in the field of educational practice in regard to the teaching of programmatic content.
    I justify the reason for choosing Mathematics Subject and specifically the teaching methodology for each programmatic contents of Plan 2011, latest version ( blocks III and IV) to the actual Sixth Grade Primary Education.
    Furthermore I expose the goals to be achieved with the contextualization Curriculum Model mentioned.
    The Theoretical Framework describes the essential conceptualization with regard to teach contents that are selected: the Universal Law of Learning, planning processes; Learning, Teaching and Assessment, involved in Educational Fact.
    The eight applicable Methodological Approaches to each of the eight Math Program Content for Sixth Grade Primary Education Curriculum 2011, include: The Study Goal; Didactic Competence and the product that demonstrates its achievement; the student’s previous knowledge and experience; suggested Motivation; Educational Project and Methodological Sequence.
    The conclusions drawn from this job, also contain a bibliographical reference that I hope will be useful and helpful for teacher to improve their teaching techniques for the benefit of their students.

    The God Who Only Knows Four Words

    Every child has known God,
    Not the God of names,
    Not the God of don'ts,
    Not the God who ever does anything weird,
    But the God who knows only 4 words.
    And keeps repeating them, saying "Come dance with Me, come dance."

    --Hafiz

    this reminds me that God is love and He wouldn't care -- who --- what I am, where I'm from or how smart or stupid I am.
    It's a good poem. I like it!

    Comment: A couple things to consider.  Do you think God has a gender?  If "He" wouldn't care who or what I am, how could "He" care what I think of "Him," or even if I think of "Him" at all.

    American democracy La democracia de los estados unidos, esta rompo, porque hay demasiado corupcion. El congreso contesta a dinero solo y pocos hombres ricos maniobran elecciones. Este es muy mal para el pais y me preocupe para el futuro.
