    Postcard in German from 1914 from my great uncle - help me translate it?
    Hi, everyone, I have a favor to ask!

    This is a postcard sent by my great uncle Karl who died in World War I in 1914. He sent this postcard, but apparently it uses old German characters, so our German relatives don't know what it says. My family is interested in learning more about him.

    Can anyone translate it for me?

    Thanks in advance!

    Introduce myself

    Hi everyone! I'm Gonzalo, a thirty year old Spanish native teacher (no entiendo, ¿estás diciendo que eres de España? Yo diría "a thirty year old Spaniard and teacher". A propósito, en EEUU "Spanish" normalmente significa el idioma porque tenemos muchos imigrantes de Latinoamérica. Un estadounidense te entendría mejor si dijeras "Spaniard" o "from Spain") who works in Primary Education ( learners students aged 6-14 ). As a teacher, I always look for new procedures and methodologies to carry out ("carry out" tiene sentido, pero "use" o "utilize" sería mejor) in class. Actually, I used to teach English as a second language in a public school in A Coruña (Spain).

    I really would like to meet new people whom would like help with her/his their ("gente" es singular, "people" es plural, ¡un problema común para mí!) Spanish as well as to improve my skills at English too. I consider myself an open-minded person, passionate about culturing cultures.

     

    ¡Buen ensayo!  Bienvenido, Gonzalo, tu inglés es excelente.

    Fiction Movies (tiene sentido pero nadie dice "fiction movies" porque ¡casi todas de las pelis son de ficción!)

    I like the cinema so much. (Otra vez, tiene sentido pero yo diría "I like the movies" en EEUU, creo que "films" es común en Inglatera)
    I like almost all the genres but my favorite is the most I like it is fiction or sci-fi.
    When I was young I read Spider-Man's comics and perhaps for that reason is for it that super heros superhero movies attract me.
    Recently, I did see saw the first trilogy of spiderman againg (qué es againg?). It was directed by Sam Raimi.

    The character of Spider-Man is like as I remembered. There was time It was a while ago but I thought that the comics character was more depresive for (no estoy seguro que sea la mejor palabra aquí, yo diría algo mas poético como "tortured") due to all that has happened in his life. He learned that a great power comes with a great responsibility and for that, he was too responsible (no entiendo lo que quieres decir aquí).

     

    ¡Buen ensayo! Esta gramática es un poco complicada. Apuesto que has escrito "for that" como una traducción de "por eso". Normalmente no se puede decir "for that", hay muchas traducciones de "por eso" pero el mas común es "so". "I hurt my back, so I can't play basketball today."

    La traducción de la peli "Inside Out" Traducir la peli "Inside Out" Ayer, mi esposa y yo fuimos a ver la peli "Inside Out". Estabamos en España por tres meses este verano y vimos varias publicidades para ella en las estaciones del metro. Hace dos semanas, leí un articulo que trató de la traducción de la peli en otros paises. Esta vez, Pixar tenía cuidado a traducir no solo el idioma, sino también la cultura. Por ejemplo, en una escena temprana, la protagonista (se llama Riley) era niña y rechazó a comer brécol. Me han dicho que en Japón, a los niños le encanta brécol. En Japón, el brécol fue cambiado a pimiento verde. Un ejemplo mas, una vez un personaje esta señalando las letras en un anuncio que dice "Peligro" (Danger). Cuando habla del anuncio, se mueve su dedo de la izquierda a la derecha del letrero. En árabe, se lee las palabras de la derecha a la izquierda. ¡Por eso, en árabe, el personaje se mueve de dedo de la derecha a la izquierda! Es una buena peli, lo recomiendo. A propósito, la niña juega hockey en la peli, pero el articulo dice que en pocos paises han cambiado el deporte a fútbol. Hockey es popular en Cánada y en el norte de EEUU, ¡habrá cambiado el deporte a fútbol en tú pais!

    A film

    Perfect Sense is an English film about one a doctor and one a chef (hay que decir "one" cuando está hablando de una diferencia entre uno y mas de uno.  Por ejemplo "Only one chef is here today, normally there are two.") who fell in love in the middle of a terrible pandemia pandemic which is destroying all the human senses (taste, sight, hearing, smell and touch). (Me recuerda del libro y peli "Blindness" de Saramago!)

    The plot starts with a strange event which consists in of (siempre se dice "consists of", nunca "consists in") a man who loses his smell sense (se dice "sense of smell" o "sense of hearing") after a depressive episode. In order to make the investigation possible, she has to rent a flat which is above a restaurant where a handsome chef works, characterized played by Ewan McGregor.

    While people of the city start to lose the other senses after another emotional events, like rage, hungry or suicidal ideas, they fall in love and give us a lesson about the importance of the fact of loving other people, and loving them in a good, true and pure way. It does not matter if we cannot see each other often enough or touch him or her or whatever, the real and perfect sense is deep in the heart.

    I strongly recommend this film because it shows us how superficial sometimes society can be sometimes and teaches us a valuable lesson about how necessary is love is for the a human being.

     

    ¡Buen ensayo!  No conozco esta peli.

    My favourite film

    Recently I have seen ("I recently saw" o "Recently, I saw..." El perfecto "have seen" sería mejor si estuvieras hablando de tu estado actual, como "I have seen every film by Steven Spielberg".  Hablas de un acontecimiento, se usa el pasado "I saw".)  the a film called “Hello” and since then It has become my favourite film.
    It’s a piece of comedy about a girl who travels abroad to live new great experiences. The film is entertaining and funny. I think it’s the most gripping film I have ever seen and it’s more realistic than other films.
    Besides, the plot is enjoyable and easy to follow. Although it’s a bit quiet (No sé lo que quieres decir, normalmente "quiet" no es un adjectivo común para pelis).
    To sum up, I recommend that you see this film because you won’t stop laughing.

     

    ¡Bien hecho!  Un ensayo excelente con mucha gramatica complicada.

    Is your friend the " best friend" in the world?

    Yulia is the my best friend in the world.

    I met her at university, when we** studied together in marketing class. In this class, We had make group work for exposure about merchandising shop no entiendo lo que quieres decir. Since then we became have become inseparable.

    Now, she lives in London with her parents but we are always in contact for through/via/by email, Skype or whats app.

    At university, we saw many places such as  at university or other places for example: coffee shops, discos, restaurants, and or shopping centres. We liked to eat in new restaurants and we had long conversions. I remember when We walked for around/through downtown or rode bikes 10 kilometres near the river.

    We argue sometimes but we have the same sense of humour and think similarly about future life, so our arguments don't last very long. I can talk to Yulia about anything and I know she will be a friend for ever forever.

    ----------------------------------
    Agradecería que me corrijan este texto su contexto y formas de expresiones. Como también el uso de capital letters cuando y como.
    Si desean puedo ayudarles con sus textos en español. Envíenme un mensaje. Saludos.

     

    **"We" no necesita una "w" mayúscula.   El único pronombre que siempre necesita una letra mayúscula es "I".  También en inglés se escribe meses y días de la semana con letras mayúsculas.


    Recuerda "por" en español tiene mas acepciones que "for" en inglés.  A veces "por" traduce a "through".


    "for ever" son palabras, pero juntos nunca son una frase.  Siempre se usa "forever".


    ¡Buen ensayo!  ¡Excelente!

    Types of good or bad teachers // ACTIVITY

    There are many types of teachers, but I can would classify in them into three groups.

    The first type of teacher is the optimistic type/teacher, this type is reffer a good teacher, optimistic teachers love their job. When they are going to teaching they are happy, because they want to teach one part of their knowledge (no suena bien, se puede decir "pass on their knowledge".  No puede "teach knowledge"). In addition, the optimistic teacher's students enjoy the with lessons, they are learning all the time.
    The second type is the pessimistic type/teacher, the/a pessimistic teacher is a bad teacher because they make feel bad the students (el orden es "make the students feel bad") and It seems that they don't want to teach their knowledge. On the other hand**, their lessons are very boring and insupportable ("insupportable" no es una palabra) so their students are boring bored and they don't learn nothing (es un "double negative", un error muy común.  Se puede decir "they learn nothing" o "they don't learn anything".) 
    Finally, the last type of teacher is the indifferent type/teacher, the indifferent teacher doesn't worry for their care about the students, he doesn't matter ("he doesn't care" o "it doesn't matter to him") if they learn one thing in their lessons. He is just interested in making/earning gain money and assist each class (estás traduciendo "asistir"?  "assist" significa "ayudar", "to help").

    ---------------------
    **"On the other hand" es un frase común, pero se usa cuando hay dos selecciones, y estás hablando de las ventajas y desventajas de cada selección.  "I should probably wash my car today.  On the other hand, it will rain tonight, maybe I should wait until tomorrow."

    I hope you help me :)

     

    ¡Buen ensayo!

    Easter

    I've enjoied enjoyed these days, because I love eating and drinking. My mom cooks very well, and she always thinks that I've I have to grow up and get fatter. She used to force me to eat twice the same dish the same dish twice.

     

    Dos reglas nuevas para ti...


    -"I've" es "I have", tienes razon.  Pero solo se puede usarlo con el tiempo perfecto.  Se puede decir "I've owned this house for a year" porque es "I have owned this house for a year".  Es el tiempo perfecto.  No se puede decir "I've a brother and two sisters" porque no es el tiempo perfecto, necesita decir "I have a brother and two sisters".  No se puede decir "I've to go home now", es "I have to go home now".  "Have to go" es "have" y el infinitivo "to go", no es el tiempo perfecto.


    -Con un adjectivo de numero como "once" o "twice" o "three times", escribe el número después de el adjectivo.  "I read the book twice".  "I drove around the block three times".
