The strongest rooster!

Lost of hens live at my home. They spend most of their time in a garden. Several roosters live among these hens. The rooster are always fighting each other. I think it's because they want the sexiest hens by their sides! ) Of course, they would, who would't want that?! :) ) Anyway, for them the foremost question is, who is the strongest rooster? All day, every day they fight each other to see who the strongest rooster is. Of course, All the efforts are worth it! :) :) The strongest rooster has lots of advantages over the other roosters. First, he will have all the hens all the time, anytime! he will have the most food, and so on.  In my view, his best and most cherished advantage over others is the reputation of being the strongest rooster.  All hens and roosters will believe that he is the strongest rooster. Why is this his most worthwhile advantage? Because, others will believe that he is the strongest, so they will rarely try to fight him for the reputation of being the strongest rooster; . even if there were a stronger rooster,  they would not fight him becaue they would believe that he is the strongest. So, the strongest rooster will probably stay the strongest for a long time.


When the next generation of hens appear, I mean when chicks become adults, most of them will tend to accept that the strongest rooster is really the strongest. However, there will always be a few rebels among them! These rebels won't accept that the strongest rooster is really the strongest. They will fight the strongest rooster for the reputation of being the strongest. You know, most of these rebels will be defeated during the first fights because, first of all, the strongest rooster is really strong; second, he believes so; third, the others, even the rebels will believe that he is the strongest. Most of at the rebels deafeated on the first fight, will give it up and won't fight again. Most of the time, the strongest rooster will stay the strongest for the next generation too, but not always. Some times a rebel who was defeated, will not give up. He will continue to fight. He will be defeated again and again but does not give up. Since he will not give up, he will learn more and more and will become stronger and stronger. To tell the truth, sometimes this rooster will die because of severe injuries, but not always. Sometimes the defeated rebel will resist for a long time. He fights and fights so that the strongest rooster will be defeated. There will be a new strongest rooster. And this is a self-perpetuating process.

Manejando

Tengo quince años y en la mayoría de los Estados Unidos este es la edad para empezar a manejar. Yo he manejado por casi seis meses, pero no pude conseguir mi licencia porque en mi estado se tiene que tener un permiso/tienes que tener tu permiso por nueve meses, cumplir clase de conducción, y pasar numerosas horas con una maestra de conducción. Es muy irritante que tenga que hacer todas estas cosas, porque si viviera en otro estado podría obtener mi licencia en menos de un mes.

Estados Unidos is capitalizee.

pude wasnt in the right tense, it was in its infitive form.

'se tiene que tener un permiso' this is an indicative sentence so you use the correct reflexive article, or instead say 'tienes que tener tu permiso'. In english, it works the same way, 'cause in my state you have to have your permit for nine months', its an indicative sentence, so you conjugate with you.

And for menos que un mes, you tried translating literraly from english, but comparisons like that only works for numbers, in this case, you'd use menos de un mes instead of menos que un mes.

Sí, puedes decir 'veo la casa muy grande', por la misma razón que tu mismo das, ya que veo es la conjugación para la primera persona. YO VEO. Te veo mal, ¿tienes un problema? En esta oración, que por lógica, deducimos que conjugamos '(YO) te veo mal', es correcta, ya conjugamos ver correctamente, donde yo es el sujeto 'invisible, deducible por la conjugación veo' y 'te' es el objeto directo de un verbo reflexivo. (YO) te veo mal (A TI). Te ves mal, ¿Tienes un problema? TAMBIEN está bien, pero por otras razones y otra conjugación CORRECTA, Por deduccion podemos decir que conjugamos la segunda persona del singular, tu, (TU) te ves mal, y 'Te ves mal' es una oración completamente válida y correcta por sí sola, pero lo conjugamos en otra persona que la anterior, y al ser reflexivo el 'te ves' es correcto'. Ambas oraciones están bien, pero por ser un verbo reflexivo parece mas complicado de lo que es. 'La casa se ve muy grande' y '(YO) veo la casa muy grande' son dos maneras de conjugar y de decir la misma idea correctamente.

Mi primera entrada

¡Hola a todos los que están leyendo esta nota y gracias por su ayuda! (your verb 'están' is conjugated in a plural form so the nouns are changed accordingly, su instead of tu, and I've added los, since you don't have a noun for 'who is reading', in english it might seem like 'everybody' in 'everybody who is reading this note' is the noun, but in spanish, you need 'los', as it is a reflexive verb, and we need to know who you are refering to)

He estado aprendiendo español por un año (en verdad, estoy aprendiéndolo otra vez porque aprendí español en la escuela segunda (secondary school? middle school?) en Téxas hace muchos años y, por supuesto, después lo olvidé). Espero ir a España el próximo año, así que necesito mejorar mi habilidad en español pronto. ¿Crees que hay mucha diferencia entre el español de España y el español de México? ( muchos años pasado seems understable, but it sounds weird, so I'd use 'many years ago' instead, also, Texas translates differently, In most latin america, Téxas with an x is correct, but spaniard spanish translates it as Téjas, a phonetic translation. And on that subject...)

There are many differences between mexican and spaniard spanish, mainly accent, some verb congugation, and A LOT of regionalisms and vocabulary from each region. Mexican spanish is easier to undersand for US english speakers, as we have evolved and have grown separated from Spain and the UK, so mexican is a bit 'easier' to understand, and to be honest, it'd be much useful than spaniard spanish for someone from the US.

Una breve introducción sobre mí. (de mi = of me, sounds a bit weird, instead use about me)

Estudio la historia en la Universidad de Edinburgo.(History is a general subject, so you don't need a definite article, 'en' instead of 'a', en means in, it might seem you might be confusing being somewhere with french or some other romance language, like in french 'a l'Université). 

Prefiero la historia moderna y escribo mi disertación sobre el periodo después de la época colonial en África. Estoy en mi último año allí, sin embargo, yo dejé la Universidad un tiempo para viajar. (the conjugation for escrito was wrong, the phrase 'I took some time/distance from University' cant translate literally, instead, 'i left University for a while to travel'

Fui a Nepal y Shanghai. Yo estuve en Nepal por dos meses con mi amiga. Viajamos por Nepal, estudiamos el yoga y la meditación y escalamos al campo base del monte Everest en el Himalaya. Fue muy difícil, pero  fue una experiencia extrordinaria con las vistas muy bonitas.  (estoy is in the wrong tense, its present, estuve is past, meses doesnt have an accent, Id take el and la from el yoga y la meditacion, since they are general actions, and you dont need a definite article. You were missing a verb in the last sentence ',pero una experiencia...' and Id change the initial verb of that sentence from 'era' to 'fue', since the action has been completed) 

Me gusta leer la literatura y libros sobre la historia, hacer deporte, escuchar música, correr, conectar con personas differentes y estoy tratando de aprender el yoga. Es difícil para mi porque no tengo suficiente flexibilidad pero me encanta intentar a las nuevas cosas. Vivo en Hampshire, en el sur de Inglaterra, cerca de la costa. Realmente mi familia vive en Winchester, que es la capital antigua de Inglaterra y hay mucha historia allí. (again, definite articles are unnecesary for general subjects, playing in spanish is usually only used for games, so instead we 'make sports', it might sound weird but we use that verb for sports, conectar has only one 'n',  personales is not a word, its personas, Realmente seems like an extra word, hay mucha historia allí was constructed correctly, without the definite la historia, congrats-)
