    Nuevo plan para autoaprendizaje

    Mañana voy a empezar con mi plan para conocer los países hispanohablantes en poco tiempo:
    1. Elegir un país hispanohablante.
    2. Usar la página web de Wikipedia sobre el país como lectura intensiva (es decir, buscar todas las palabras que no conozco y tratar de memorizarlas).
    3. Buscar en el internet las características del español de este ese país.
    4. Leer un libro escrito por un escritor/unos escritores de este ese país.
    5. Visitar sitios web sobre turismo en este país como si estuviera planeando viajar a este ese país.

    Perfect smartphone's screen size goes according to your personal taste It's 6 inches screen too big ? Or 4.7 inches too small ? I think there is no a rule that fits everyone's taste. 15 years ago, the rule was "the tiny the better" when it comes to cell phones sizes. To reduce the size as much as possible, was the goal that all cell manufacturers must reach if they wanted to survive in this competitive business. This was true, in the pre-smartphones age. But all changed since Apple introduced and popularized the iPhone. The cell phone screen was not used anymore only to visualize names and phone numbers: the new technology in those days began to show more and more kind of diverse content on the device, and it fomented manufacturers to offer bigger screens. Nowadays, it's difficult to find smartphones on the stores which screen is smaller than 4.5 inches. 6 inches are the size for the biggest smartphones that can be considered even phones and not phablets. In my opinion, 6 inches cell phones can show a lot of details than smaller devices can't, but at the same time, they consume the battery more quickly, and it is impractical to operate with one hand. Even 5.5 inches displays are hard to handle with one hand, a feature that is quite estimated for those who used to have cell phones up to 5 inches and could manage well these devices using only one hand. I'm convinced that a good size is between 5.1 and 5.3 inches, but again, this depends on your personal taste.

    Aprender un idioma nuevo

    Desde hace tres años aproximadamente aprendo español. Por supuesto, al príncipio principio tenía un motivo concreto o tuve una oporutunidad oportunidad por casualidad. Sin embargo, a lo largo del tiempo a veces pierdo la motivación, pero sigo adelante. ¿Por que qué?

    No me acuerdo muy bien cómo aprendí mi lengua materna. Ya no soy joven, pero recuerdo claramente algunas escenas de mi infancia. Son como unas fotos nostálgicas y antiguas pero también nuevas.

    Ahora tengo unos profesores de español. Supongo que para ellos soy como un niño de 5 o 6 años. No puedo hablar bien en español todavía. Siempre que hablo en español, me da inseguridad, ansiedad y miedo. Eso me cansa, pero cuando tengo esa sensación intento pensar en los profesores. Está claro que cada persona dirige?/construye? su propia vida.

    Quizá mi mente me pide que yo aprenda a través de otras vidas, o sea de historias de otros seres humanos.

    Pienso que la esencia de la lengua es la cultura actual y del pasado, en otras palabras incluye todo.

    Para mi aprender un idioma es como viajar no solo al extranjero sino al mundo pasado.
    Es como si volviera a tener la edad de un niño.


    NOTA: En general, está muy bien!

    Traveling by bus I needed to go to a far away city from Lima, to have a surf time. In spite of the cheap prices that low-cost air carrier companies offer these days, surprisely, this time I decided to travel by bus, despite it promise to be a long 20 hours trip. Going to the bus terminal station took me 15 minutes, as opposed to 1 hour to the airport. Also, I can arrive 30 minutes before the bus departs, whereas I must arrive to the airport no less than 2 hours before the fly departs. Moreover, when going by bus, I can left the bus terminal station at my destination just 10 minutes after the bus arrives, and a taxi could drop me at the hotel in 5 minutes. On the other hand, leaving the target airport takes no less than 30 minutes, without taking into account that a van may take 2 hours and a half to go across the 200 kilometers that separate the airport from my hotel, and when the van finally arrives, is almost at the sunset, so I have to wait for the next day to ride some waves. Going by bus, I have a confortable seat that can be a 180° bed, two power outlets available, so I can use one to connect my laptop and write this essay, and the other to charge my cell phone. By the time I´m writting this, the hostess is going to serve the breakfast, and only two hours from my destination. It´s a bit cloudy, and according to the forecast, waves are pretty big.

    En este caso, supongo que "paciente" hace referencia a que tiene paciencia? Si es asi, sugiero la siguiente frase: "Hoy en día, estudié muy duro con un compañero de Brasil que tiene mucha paciencia".

     

    Si "paciente" se refiere a un enfermo que estás tratando (si eres su médico o psicólogo), entonces me parece mejor la frase "Hoy, estudié muy duro con un paciente y compañero de Brasil.".

     

    Personalmente, creo que haces referencia al primer caso.

    Cheerleader - The sunshine of your youth (help with lyrics) I searched for the lyrics of this song: "The sunshine of your youth" (author: Cheerleader) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QoYyIBO88o Some web pages said that the first phrase is: "It's a worn-out family photo". Others said: "It's a Hallmark family photo" (I guess Hallmark is the manufacturer of greeting cards, photo albums...). Could someone help me with this ... which of these is the correct? Also, I would like to practice some sentences using the word "shelf" (which is new to me). I would appreciate if someone can correct me: 1) I have two grey metal shelfs very close to my desk. 2) I know I have to replace the kitchen shelf because the one that we have is so worn-out. 3) I would rather buy a wood shelf than a metal shelf for my reading room. Thanks!
