"Made in Galiza"
Quero contarvos unha cousa, fai duas semanas merquei o meu primeiro libro en galego.
Chámase "Made in Galiza" e é dun escritor novo que se chama Séchu Sende.
Foi moi complicado atopar este libro, intentei facer o pedido coa Casa del libro e na libreria da miña vila pero nada..al final (o final) acordeime dunha libreria en Roma onde vendían libros españois e decidín intentar. Conseguín mercalo con eles e a verdade é que mereceu a pena esperar un pouquñín máis porque este libro volveme tola.
Por qué decidín ler este libro? Pois porque uns amigos falaronme deste libro e aconsellaronmo porque saben que interésame a sociolinguística, ademáis poden ler na rede partes dos contos do libro e tamén poden ver en youtube unha reseña e unhas representacións dun par de contos. o
Coidaba que sería complicadiño entender, en cambio podo entender case todo e iso faime moitísima ilusión. Vou tomando nota das palabras e das expresións que non entendo e logo buscolas.
Ainda non o acabei pero estou a ponto de terminalo. Na miña opinión é un libro moi interesante e aportador, de maneira senxella e simpática Sechu explicanos a situación do galego en Galiza, as actitudes das persoas coa lingua galega, a relación diglósica entre castelán e galego, o amor dos galegos pola súa terra e a súa cultura... (totalmente verdade porque eu son de Carnota, na coruña, pero vivo en Madrid e teño motisima morriña da miña terra)
Un libro que aconsexo, xa sexa para coñocer mellor a lingua e a cultura galega, pero tamén para ver diferentes prospectivas do galego e diferentes pontos de vista da xente.
Espero que poidades correxir o meu texto e aconsexarme (aconsellarme) cómo podo mellorarlo e, se vos apetece, tamén darme a vosa opinión sobre este libro.
Un saúdo,

The Federal Reserve is getting ready to raise interest rates next June. The economic crisis is not being as huge in USA as in Europe (especially in some countries of Europe as all of us know) and the Euro currency became a lot weaker and probably will be even smaller until we strengthen our political and economical stability. In my opinion, for Spain don’t have a stronger currency change might be more helpful due to this current economy climate. The unemployment rate is up of 24%. The wages are becoming more and more lower so with this unemployment rate in its highest historical level and the salaries for workers in a continuous process of devaluation we don’t need be academical economists to say than the domestic demand had betters times. In this context, actually the exported is becoming a key factor in our growth and for me personally from this point of view I believe that a weaker currency can be really interesting. If our products are cheaper we will sell more products abroad and if imported products are expensive perhaps might be more profitable that we manufacture our own goods. in this way our economic activity can start to improve. On the other hand the main economic activity in Spain is the tourism which contributed over 11% to the GDP and I think for the foreign will be less costlier to visit us. The main pillars of a Sustainable economic growth is the political stability. An state honest and efficient is the key for the development of our society and we all of us share this responsibility.March 19, 201520
- Making an appointment A time ago I had to set up an international conference call between one of our supplier with three of my area managers and two technical experts of my company because we needed to buy an specific upgrade software. It was an experience really funny and challenged because all of us were Spanish but the supplier was English and neither he spoke Spanish nor we spoke English, but not only this needed to be into account. The first time I called our supplier to Schedule the meeting I have to recognize I had a really hard time because also when I called him he was on another line and her secretary put me through to his voice mail...uuufff I wasn’t expecting It, but actually my record had to be even better than I had though because he called me back immediately...no..no really. But for the meeting during the week I looked over different reports in English about the proposal to talk over in the meeting and I made a draft also en English and these practices help me a lot...and if the meeting had been recorded, I convinced It would be an exit-views in YouTube. The passion, the respect, the sense of humor and enjoy with everything you do are the key to personal success in lifeMarch 10, 201530
- Usefull Phone expressions I rarely use the phone in the Job. For me, the E-mail is one of the most essential work tool. Perhaps It might be the main communication tool. However when I’m on call, in this case, my phone is really important because I must be ready as soon as possible to get back to my boss calls or get back to another other person who has tried to reach me, . Finally If I can avoid it I would rather don’t leaving messages because for me is better to communicate each other directly.March 4, 201530
- Talk about my preferences when I travel (Rather vs. Prefer) When I travel on Holidays I would rather not visit major cities. I prefer to go in the green countryside. I prefer enjoying quiet walks through the natural environments or to stroll around charming small seaside towns than to visit museums in big cities (This type of activities can be done during the rest of the year) so when I book accommodation I’d rather find out rural charming hotel. One of the amenities more important for me and that I value the most when I stay in a hotel would the Room cleaning Service but also and above all is that the hotel has a good and warm bed. The bed probably might be one the most important thing but I also value very much a quiet room I don’t care to have a wonderful bed if I can’t rest good enougyh because the room isn’t quiet enough. And if have options, I’d rather stay in an environmentally sustainable hotel, this is another important amenities that I take into account.March 3, 201530

February 23, 201540 - Once when I was a Kid When I was a child, I would be only about 6 years old. My mother always came to pick me up from school after the class and I used to play in the schoolyard while she arrives but one day my mother was delayed and for me the wait in the schoolyard seemed like forever. She was late too much. There weren’t more children and my mother continued without come. Everyone had left. I was alone. So I decided come back home. I was completely convinced that I could arrive home walking and by myself and I didn’t think of anything more because every day I did walking with my mother the way school…but the city was much more bigger that I thought In the beginning I felt that I could find my way back home but I slowly I was becoming more and more stressed and lost… To me this day was one of the worst days of my lifeFebruary 10, 201520

My film would be SET to the begin of the nineteenth century and SETTING in South Dakota (USA)…I think “Dance with wolves” was made there. The PLOT will be realistic, exciting, epic and some dosis of intrigue and the ACTING I hope to be excellent supported by a strong script. Finally To make this cineme masterpiece I had thoutht in actors like James Stewart or kevin Costner…I like much them.January 25, 201520
