Comencé a aprender español en julio. Sé unos cientos de palabras pero casi cero gramática o tiempos de los verbos. Mi nivel CEF de español está A0.2 probablemente. Hablo español como Tarzán: "Mí Tarzán. Tú Jane. Tú comes serpiente." Necesito un socio múy paciente. Soy un hablante nativo de inglés, y estaría encantado te ayudar especialmente si su Inglés es tan horrible como mi español. Me gusta vendiendo de eBay. Mi tipos favoritos de películas son comedias y misterios. Soy casado desde 23 años y tenemos dos hijos, uno él atiende la escuela secundaria, y otro está en la universidad.

    Ejercico 1-23 Ejercico 1-23. Traduce. I hate Mondays. We start another week with the same routine. I talk to my neighbors about the weekend, our family, and our habits at home. My husband sometimes helps me with the household chores. He vacuums the floors and he sweeps the terrace. Juan, Lidia's husband, washes the clothes. They have a new washing machine and a dryer! And Juan likes to iron his shirts. Marta's husband, Mauricio, prepares dinner almost every night. He has a new grill on the patio, a gift from Marta for his birthday. Now, Marta does not cook! My other neighbor, Susana, lives with her mother-in-law and she helps, too. I need more help from my husband, my mother, or the electric appliances. I work too hard! Mi repuetsa: Detesto las lunes. Empezamos una otra semana con la misma rutina. Hablo con mis vecinos acerca del fin de semana, nuestras familias, y nuestras costumbres de casa. A veces mi eposo ayudame con los quehaceres de la casa. Él pasa la aspiradora el piso y barre la terraza. Juan, esposo de Lidia, llave la ropa. ¡Tienen nuevas lavadora y secadora! Y juan gusta a planchar sus camisas. El esposo de Marta, Mauricio, prepara la cena [??? "almost"] todas las noches. Tiene una nueva parrilla en [??? "patio"], un regalo de Marta por le cumpleaño. ¡Ahora, Marta no cocina! Mi otro vecina, Susana, vive con su [??? "mother-in-law"] y ella ayuda también. Necesito más de ayuda a mi esposo, mi madre, o los aparatos electrodomésticos. ¡Trabajo demasiado duro! Mis notas: No recuedro a decir "almost", "patio", y "mother-in-law". Estoy a soprender recuerdo tantas cosas como hago sin usando un diccionario.

    Positive Things in My Life
    Unlike Spanish, which uses regular sentence case, in English we capitalize the first word and each other word of a title except articles, prepositions, and conjunctions. However, it is also very common to see all the words capitalized 

     

    Today I am going to talk about things that have been very positive in my life. The first one it is that I haven't had the best facilities to get anything easiest time getting things. I had to starting from the scratch and combine studies and jobs school and work, but that experience has taught me the importance of being hard-working and stubborn. I am very proud of being capable of ignoring the bad advice and believing in myself.
    In the second sentence, both "one" and "it" refer to a "positive thing". The <em>it</em> is not needed. Even better would be to say <em>The first is that...</em>.

    I think using "best facilities" for "easiest" was simply due to seeing "facíl" in facilities. While <em>facility</em> can be used to mean <em>ease</em>, it is most commonly use to refer to a business or government compound/base/factory.

    You did communicate your meaning with "studies and jobs,<em>"</em> but "school and work" is better. This is one of those things that is a simple idea, but difficult to explain. We associate actions with each of those four words. Since you are combining, it is easier to read when the actions are the same. We <em>attend</em> studies, but we <em>work</em> jobs. However, we <em>go</em> to school and we <em>go</em> to work.

    The second positive thing in my life has been to travel. This has allowed me not only understand the such importance of learning a second language such as an English, but also I have has given me the opportunity of visiting places with amazing landscapes that left me breathless. Besides I have grown as a person through meeting new people and living new situations that I wouldn't have lived if I had made the decision of staying to stay on my sofa. I also like it because it’s an activity accessible accessible activity for all budgets. Such is my desire to travel that when someone tells me that have (he has/she has) purchased something, I automatically think about the equivalence in trips I could do trips I could take with that money.

    In compound sentences, it is easy to lose track or who or what is doing the action and when. In your second sentence, "this" (the ability to travel) has been and is doing the action. In the first half of the sentence "this" "has allowed me" to do something, so the second half of the sentence should match that: "this" "has given me". Audrey's advice is good: simple sentences are always better. This is true not only for people learning English, but for everyone who speaks English.

    Accessible activity: remember, in English most adjectives are placed before nouns.

    One thing that I always do when I travel is the take night trips with my camera and tripod. For some strange reason I find more interesting the cities the cities more interesting in nights at night than during the day. Maybe it is because there are less people or because you can note the contrast between the darkness and the illumination of buildings.

    Other Another positive thing in my life has been reading books. I like to read biographies or books about (difficult, stressful, dangerous) situations and what they people have done to overcome them. I prefer those kinds of books that I can take advantage of learning their tips. One thing that seems to be common to most of them is the concern about the limitation of the time and the analysis of the best way of using it. In the last book I have read, there was an idea that caught my attention and make made me think about it. The author said that it was very important to write what are you going to do with your 16 hours of the day. It’s very interesting because this way allows me to manage the time but I have to recognize that I always put on my list more things that put more things on my list than are possible to do and this makes me feel frustrated.

    Other = several more positive things. Another = one more positive thing.
    Most books are about situations - what <em>type</em> of situations do you like to read about? In the same sentence, if you use the pronoun <em>they</em>. You need to have established previously what it refers to. IAs originally written, <em>they</em> refers to <em>biographies or books</em>.

    Overall, you communicated very well. I had no problem understanding what you wrote.

    If I were to make one general recommendation, it would be similar to Audrey's: keep sentences as simple as you can. I think it is human nature to believe that more complex = more difficult = better. In communicating effectively, however, the opposite is true. Each sentence should only be long enough to express a thought accurately.

    Una nota a mí mismo Comencé hoy leer hoy unos artículos en español publicado en las Naciones Unidas sitió web. Estoy tratando a traducir tanto como puedo de una historia sin utílizando Google. Tomó nota: Hay muchas palabras español qué tienen un sonido algo similar como inglés... pero "las pandillas" en español no traduce a "the pandas" en íngles. Yo pensé una historia acerca del problema con "pandas" Centroamericana no era correcto.

    Mi primera vez para hablar español en voz alta Hoy hablé con Emmanuel de Guatemala para llamada de Skype por una mediahora. No, esta es no correcto... él hables (¡usando inglés múy buen!) y yo escucho [mainly]. Aprendí unas lecciones más importante.

    1. Antes de hablar por la primera vez, practica a que hablará. Escribe una lista (en tu idioma) de cosa quere a decir.
    2. Entiende a que [you will have] mucho nerviósa. Hazlo aunque.
    3. Emmanuel dio me el consejo que pensar acerca del frase todo antes a hablar, no sóla cada palabra.

    Ahora que es terminado, la próxima llamada de Skype será más fácil.

    As I Learn English

    En inglés, capitalizamos la primera palabra y cada otra palabra de un título, excepto artículos, preposiciones y conjunciones. Sin embargo, también es muy común ver todas las palabras empiezan con letras mayúsculas.

     

    Some time ago that I wanted learn English, so I started to watch series in English with captions.

    Creo que <em>see</em> es equivalente a ver y watch es equivalente a mirar, pero mi español es múy malo.

     

    and I improved a little, so I began to read texts and watch videos on youtube. I speak in very [poor <em>or</em> incorrect] English. I hope that you can help me to improve more. Thank you everybody.

    Múy bien, Anderson. ¡Tu inglés es mucho mejor que mi español! Yo necesito a checar todos con Google o SpanishDict.
