I am was born and raised in Colorado and moved to Texas after graduating college. I have always been fascinated with languages and have long thought that I was unable to learn a second one. I want to learn Spanish because I have the most exposure to it, love the community and the people. I want to be able to converse with people in their own language. I am looking for someone to talk to on italki that won't mind if I don't always know the word I need, mess up the grammar or in general make a fool of myself while trying to learn the language.

Deona: Thank you very much for your comment. At this point I slow down my speech a little bit, this is to lay the foundations for future learning. As you progress I'll speed up, but you won't notice the change because your Spanish will be top notch :)

    Las cosas me gustan hacer Los fines de semana me gusta ir al cine or ver las películas en mi casa. Otra cosa que me gusta leer novelas o cualquier libro. Leo muy rapído en íngles pero es muy dificíl in español todavía. También me gusta jugar con mi perro. Le gusta buscar una pelota y vamos a jugar por horas. Finalmente, me gusta coser. Esas son las cosas me gustan hacer

    1) In this context keep means celebrate. He doesn't celebrate birthdays anymore because of his wife and kids. 3) The author is referring to having neighbors who care enough to think about them in the hard time or celebration or whatever event is happening. He is grateful for the presents, but more grateful for the relationship he has with them

    Devil's advocate is when someone is advocating a side that most people wouldn't.  She may or may not agree with it, but is just trying to show people there isn't a right or wrong answer.  

     

    A party pooper is someone who brings down the mood of a party.  Maybe they won't dance or laugh.  

     

    The main difference is that a devil's advocate is usually participating, but isn't going along with the general crowd.  You can think debate with devil's advocate.

    A party pooper is someone who is typically trying to ruin the fun whether on purpose or just having a bad day.

    Unfortunately, it sounds weird to English speakers if you don't say the radio. You could shorten it to "on television, the radio or" if you wanted to take out a word.

    That's half the fun is an expression you say when someone doesn't understand why you are doing something. For example, when someone says "I would never learn a second language because I don't like learning new words." You could say "But that's half the fun!" There are many other reasons why you like learning a second language, but because they commented on that one aspect, this can be a deflection of sorts. Something you can say with a smile without seeming to argue with the person who doesn't understand. I hope this helps!

    Doing exercise

    I don't really practice any sport sports, but I like going for a walk for an hour once a week. I live in a very small village and it is very easy to go to the mountains and relax. I love it. There was a time when I like biking or running, but nowadays I prefer walking.

    I like hiking in Spain

    I like to visit other places and other people. I like hiking in the mountains in Pirineos, Picos de Europa, Gredos and other places of Spain. I like to climbing also. What places do you know from Spain? Do you know "El Paso de Mahoma" in the Aneto Summit?
