Estudiaba el español en la universidad hace 20 años, y se me va olvidando poco a poco. Hablo español cada día con mi hijo, pero no he estudiado el español formalmente en muchísimos años. Creo que enfocarme en la gramática en una clase una vez a la semana me ayudaría mucho a mejorar el español y a poder seguir hablando el español con mi hijo.

    El sábado pasado En esta temporada, hace mucho mucho calor. Como generalmente intento ir a correr por las colinas en los fines de semana, decidí ir muy temprano. Puse el despertador para las seis, y mi fui a la cama. Pero, de repente, me desperté. Soñaba la alarma de humo. Salté de la cama media dormida pero con la adrenalina ya muy alta [en inglés diría "through the roof," pero no se me ocurre nada similar en español]. Les llamé a las perras, una de ellas quien no quería salir de la cama, y corrí hacía las escaleras. Al llegar a la primera planta, no vi nada de humo ni ninguna razón por la alarma. Después de revisar la primera planta, subí de nuevo a la segunda planta y tampoco vi nada. Justo cuando terminé de revisar todo y asegurarme do que no había un incendio, se apago la alarma por si misma. Confundida y muy despierta, me metí en la cama de nuevo. Cuando sonó el despertador a las seis, estaba cansadísima. No me podía dormir muy bien después de la alarma falsa. Así que, media dormida, pegué el botón de dormitar varias veces. A eso de las seis y media me desperté finalmente. Me llevé a las perras, y fuimos a un sendero que queda a diez minutos de casa. Era una mañana hermosa. No había una nube en el cielo y aún no hacía mucho calor. En las colinas la hierba ya se había secado, como no había llevado en unas semanas. Toda las colinas se vestían de un amarillo crujiente. Los pájaros y grillos nos cantaban buenos días mientras corríamos por los senderos. Más o menos una hora después, volvimos a casa. Después de ducharme y desayunar, me fui a la casa de una amiga. Ella, yo, y una amiga más fuimos a una festival de lavanda. Vendían comida (miel de lavanda, galletas de lavanda, limonada de lavanda... en fin, ya entiendes), varios productos de baño (crema, jabón, etc.), y también se podía cortar lavanda en el campo. Compramos algo de comida y cortamos como seis ramas de lavanda, y volvimos a casa. Como no había dormido muy bien, eché una siesta por la tarde. En fin, fue un sábado muy lindo y algo (no muy, pero algo) aventurero. ¡Gracias por leer!

    Please, help me with my text)

    I am fearing  afraid of flying. Actually!  But I have to fly quite often. Our country is really big and it is different and long far to get from one part of country to another. When an airplane is up and down [we call this "going through turbulence"], I have the biggest anxiety, because I heard some time ago, that it is the most dangerous part of flying time.
    Today I had a terrible morning. My plane was late by reason because of a strong storm I'm in Moskow Moscow. When we flyed flew I thought, all is OK. But it was not true.
    The storm continued and our pilot can't couldn't land the plane. He said, that the will lead we would go to another airport. The next hour was one of the most horrible in my life. We was were in the air and, I supposed, waiting for a time to a resolution to land. The sky was foggy, we can't couldn't see the Earth, the rain drops beaten were beating out on the windows. We saw a few strikes of lightings. I prayed, thought about my family and tried to calm myself. I thought really, we could die. I think, all of the people in the plane thought same. But in fine time [?] the pilot informed us, that in a little while was the we would land! Then the plane was down on the ground, we was were really happy! I thanked Good to help  he helped us.

    And you? Do you have a similar event experience, when did you think you thought that you can could die?

    Great job, Zilya.  That sounds horribly scary!  I've had one similar experience on an airplane.  We were going in to land and a big gust of wind tipped the whole plane sideways.  It was horrifying in the moment, but turned out just fine.

    After googling a little more, I found this website which has a handful of apps that may do the trick:

    A dictionary app that saves words I have looked up/Una aplicación que guarda las palabras que he buscado

    Hi everyone, 

    I'm trying to work on my Spanish vocabulary, and would love to find an app that saves every word I look up.  In other words, a dictionary app that basically creates a personalized vocabulary list that you can review later.  Has anyone found such an app?  Thanks!!!  


    Hola todos, 

    Estoy intendando mejorar mi vocabulario en español, y me gustaría encontrar a un aplicación que guarda cada palabra que busco. Mejor dicho, un app que básicamente crea una lista de vocabulario personalizada que se puede repasar más tarde.  ¿Alguien ha encontrado tal app?  Gracias!!!
