    Thank you Darko. Can I ask why you took DELE, what was your motivation? I've been studying Spanish for the past few months, I'm interested in taking as motivation.

    Anyone take the DELE exam?

    I'm interesting in learning more about the DELE exam. Has anyone taken it? How big of a difference is there between B1 and B2? I'm probably a B1 right now, and I'm planning on studying to be at a B2 level in 6 months ...

    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

    Voglio scrivere mia amica. Mia amica, mi ha chiesto che, "quando vieni in l'italia?" Voglio rispondere: "No so, ma presto... Primo, stavo pensando che andrò in Italia per l'estate. Ma adesso, voglio ti vediamo di più presto. Forse vado in l'italia in fine di marzo."

    Violence

    Today, I watched on television a report about violence on a targeting disabled person people.

    Some young people (they are from 12 to 16 years old) would like to steal a mobile phone from a mental disabled person.

     

    This person doesn't They don't want (what don't they want? The phone?) and the young people hurt him and put his things in a lake. After, they hurt him and put (put what? him?) him in the lake just for "fun". 


    They made a video about this scene and posted in of it and posted on the internet. Thankfully, to people who had seen others saw/viewed this video and signaled flagged the video. The police were notified and arrived to identify the attackers. The identification of the attackers was easy to discovered because some of their friends identified them on in the video.

    I respect disabled people. They don't have an easy life and they want to be treated as other people equals, not with differences.


    I live in appartment and the first floor there is spot/apartment reserved for disabled people. So, i live with these difference and people and I don't notice the wheelchair. (Since you live w/ them and don't notice their differences, don't label them as "different". Furthers your point.)
