Hello. I am from the United States and now live in Mexico with the Eudist Servants of the 11th Hour(Religious Sisters) in Tijuana whose main mission is to serve inmates at the La Mesa Prison. I am trying to improve my Spanish language skills to be better able to serve them. Although our sisters are Roman Catholic we serve all in need. I am intermediate level Spanish and need more practice in conversation, vocabulary building and grammar.

    Things of children

    In a small and scarce inhabited town located near Guadalquivir river, a naughtly guy who was around seven years old, lived with their parent, he used to spend everyday doing prank. One day, he had all morning been pursuing insects and putting into in diferent small box of carton.
    Another day, he threw a dirty ball for neighbour´s car which had been cleaned one day ago. Neighbour got very irritated and called guy´s parents. Finally, this guy was punished by parents without hanging out with his friends for a week.
    In sum up,
    those histories are funny anecdote which we will remember over life.

    Corrected Entry by Connie (You have written very well and a very interesting story too!)

    Childish Things

    In a small and sparsely inhabited town near the Quadalquivir River, there lived a micheivous little boy of seven years old who lived with his parents. This little boy played pranks every day. One day, he collected insects. He put the insects in a box containing sections of different sizes. Another day he threw a dirty ball at a neighbor's car which had just been cleaned a day ago. The neighbor got very upset and called the boy's parents.Finally, this little boy's parents decided to punish him. They told him he could not go outside or play with his friends for one week. 

    Lastly, for many of us, these stories call to mind memories like these from our childhoods. We remember them always and look back at them with fondly love and humor.

    Referencia los verbos conocer/saber: Use SABER cuando ud. quiere decir: una facto; un certitud; algo definida; algo verdadero. Use CONOCER cuando ud. quiere expresar una relación con un otro - persona, animal - cuando ud. esta en relación.

    You use "para" when you want to say "in order to" / for the purpose of / Directed to - an object or person- /"Para ti" for you / Yo fue al cine para relajar. (for purpose of) - I went to the movie to relax. I went to London by plane. Yo fue a London pro avion. Por is used to mean "by" like in referring to a location/movement - Por el parque ; pro las called etc. - by (near) the park - specific location Where is the ____? (located). "Por el lado" - by the side. I hope this helps. You can google this as well...

    Class with Paolo Martinez 8/14/15 She was very reassuring and right away kindly corrected errors. I used my typewriter and Skype at the same time. I like writing things. It was conversational. I like that it was unstructured and at the same time she identified my weak areas. We talked about everyday life topics and I was able to raise questions of interest. Nosotros hablamos sobre temas de vida diaria y yo pudo preguntar sobre temas de interés de mi. Paola estaba abierto y amable compartido sobre la vida familiar y cocido (?) de Columbia y subjetos de la poblacion alli.
