La fiesta sorpresa
Alicia ha estado planeando una fiesta sorpresa para su marido. Mientras él estaba en el trabajo, ella y sus hijos limpiaron la casa, la decoraron y prepararon una cena deliciosa para sus invitados. Un mes antes de la fiesta, Alicia llamó todos los amigos y la familia de su marido y les invitó a la fiesta sorpresa. Todas las cosas fueron hechas en secreto.
Esta mañana, justo después de que su marido salió para el trabajo, ella comenzó todos los preparativos. Mientras los hijos limpiaban la casa y la decoraban, Alicia comenzó preparar la cena. Preparó ternera de asado con puré de patatas, habichuelas, una ensalada con lechuga, tomate, zanahorias, maíz y almendras rebanadas. Ella También hizo salmón asado y coliflor al horno. De postre, comerían tarta de manzana caliente y helado.<em>Well done! </em>

Ayer vi tres películas para practicar escuchando el idioma. Dos de las películas eran muy tristes, prostitutas en España tratando de sobrevivir, y en la otra, hay tres jóvenes tratan de llegar a Miami desde Cuba. En esas dos películas había una desesperación en la lucha para sobrevivir y tratar de llevar una vida mejor. En la tercera película, una mujer joven (que es una artista) hace una lista de cosas que quiere hacer antes de que ella está programado para morir un mes después, el 30 de abril. Muchas aventuras ocurren en ese mes. Es una buena comedia, "Te presento, Laura".
<em>Your Spanish is great! Keep up the good work :)</em>

I'm on my Easter holidays, not going anywhere though, just staying home, doing homework: the usual. It's been a while from the last time I had english homework and I had to write an essay or something. I quit last year from my english lessons, I felt like it was going downhil. I had kinda lost the interest on the language. Several months later I realised I didn't, it was just that I couldn't stand the teacher and her ways, always explaining the same thing over and over. I really want to improve my skills on this language, I absolutely love it and I enjoy writing it, speaking it, reading it and everything. It makes me feel really happy with myself, as if I finally achieved something in my life. It may sound terrible, I know, but I'm kind of proud of myself for this. Back in 2011 I couldn't even form a decent sentence, now I'm writing a two-paragraphs text. Who could have said it? Definitely not me. I came to realise I'm always putting myself down, it's a bit sad if I think about it but it also helps me improve. Is going to be hard from now, I don't have a teacher to help me through the wonderful and (thoroughly) exhausting path of learning english. I guess I'll have to do it all by myself, I only hope it doesn't take me too much. I don't want to do everything in a rush, but I also don't want to take too much time. It's been 12 years of learning, and I'm just 15 years old, I don't want to ruin it now...April 3, 201540

¡Hola, amigos! Aunque tengo ya algún tiempo en Italki, la realidad es que no lo he usado mucho. Encuentro un poco confuso navegar en este sitio. A pesar de eso, lo intentaré nuevamente. Me gustaría encontrar amistades que estén interesadas en hablar en varios idiomas. Estoy dispuesta
a conversar en Italiano, Portugués, Hebreo y Francés. También puedo ayudarles en su aprendizaje
de Español e Inglés, pues hablo ambos con mucha fluidez.
-Beth0 votedApril 19, 20140- 'Hay' means 'there is'. As you can imagine, there is something, so we're going to use 'hay' followed by a substantive, which means this word is going to be used to indicate the existence of something. For example: Hay mucha comida. _________ There's a lot of food. Hay una panadería cerca de mi casa _________ There is a bakery near my house. 'Haya' is the conditional form of the verb 'Haber' (To be). So this word is also going to be used to indicate the supposed existence of something else. 'Tuya' means yours, but is only used when the thing that is from someone else is a feminine substantive. Examples: La casa es tuya ________ The house is yours. La pollera es tuya ________ The skirt is yours. 'Tuyo' is the masculine form of 'tuya', so it means we're using it with masculine substantives. Examples. El perro es tuyo _________ The dog is yours. El vestido es tuyo _________ The dress is yours.0 votedApril 19, 20140
- Some stuff about me. So my name is Barbara and I'm from Argentina. I'm 14 years old and I'm looking forward to improve my English and maybe learning a bit of French. I really enjoy reading, writing, watching videos and everything related to English, so probably that's why I learnt a few things that I didn't at school. Since I have to describe something to make this longer, I'm going to tell you what kind of music I'm into. The bands that I like are mostly from England, I love their music and culture! My favourite band is Oasis, but I also like Rolling Stones, Aerosmith, AC/DC, Arctic Monkeys, Jake Bugg, Lana del Rey, Marina and The Diamonds, Sky Ferreira, Nirvana, The Neighbourhood and The 1975, among others. If we're talking about books, then I have to say that I love reading. Some of the titles in my library are Wuthering Heights, Jane Eyre, Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, The 1,000,000 Bank Note, The Prince and The Pauper and so on. I'd be glad to read your comments. Thank you so much for reading this.April 19, 201410
I've always got the same question. Spanish is my first language and I really like classic literature, books such as Price and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility or Wuthering Heights, my personal favourite. When I was six I read The Canterville Ghost and last year (I'm fourteen) I re-read it in English. I think it's pretty much the same, at least the metaphores and the way to describe things, but you just can't compare them. Same happened to me with Wuthering Heights or some amateur texts.
The original is always going to be more expressive in some way I can't explain, but it doesn't mean that the translation lost the spirit of the book or was considerably worse. By the way, I'm also looking forward to learn French, their culture is amazing and getting to learn the language seems to be a great adventure.

I mean, if I make a mistake in front of someone important, in the middle of a test or in public (an important amount of people), I feel somewhat embarassed but if I say something wrong while speaking and I'm with my friend, a teacher or in a relaxed space, I just laugh and try to go on on what I was saying.
