We had an unusual and pleasant lesson. Unusual, because I normally don't speak English and don't explain Grammar that much. But I hope it helped you to gain an overview of cases and when they are applied. I'm looking forward to our next session!

    La vida en el patio trasero de Yeya

    El patio trasero de Yeya está lleno de amor e imaginación en cada estación del año y de la vida. Es un lugar especial lleno de recuerdos de la infancia. Cuando las ninas juega allí, los adultos miran y recuerdan sus infancias también. Es mágico.
    Estoy balanceando a la guagua que duerme en mi pecho. Puedo sentir los latidos de nuestros corazones juntos. Es el inicio de la primavera y estamos en el patio de yeya. Aunque la noche ha caído, el cielo todavía muestra los últimos rayos del sol. El suave balanceo del columpio imita a una cuna y yo casi me estoy durmiendo también. Una leve brisa cálida le susurra a las campanas de viento que están colgando desde el toldo del columpio y ellas nos cantan una canción de cuna como si fueran un coro de ángeles. Canastas de flores coloridas adornan los costados del columpio como viñas, desbordando un aroma de naturaleza. Miro como el sol finalmente se va a dormir y el cielo despejado se llena de estrellas. Son perfectos (¿quienes?)para cumplir un millón de deseos.
    Luego (¿y antes?) en el? verano, Penelope ya tiene? tres meses mas de edad, se sienta en una cobija, el pasto alrededor, todavía mojado de rocio. La Música clásica fluye por las ventanas abiertas de la casa de Yeya. El ladrar jubiloso de un perro pasa volando, Stoli corre dando vueltas alrededor del borde. Las primas se sientan hipnotizadas mientras enormes burbujas flotan frente a sus ojos, reflejando la luz del sol. Como la mañana se convierte en tarde, Penelope, de menos de un año de edad, duerme pacíficamente en el cochecito mientras Nadia, que apenas camina, lucha para empujarla. Estar enfrente de la fuente de piedra es como estár en un jardín español. Gotitas de agua caen en sus rostros, Nadia salpicando y Penelope durmiendo. La voz de Yeya es llevada dulcemente en el viento, "Que rica esta el agua". Ahora el invierno ha llegado y el patio se siente silencioso, los únicos sonidos son los chirridos de un pájaro. La nieve cubre el suelo como una cobija de cristales. Los pinos altos que marcan el borde del patio llevan abrigos blancos. No hay viento y el columpio esta quieto, sin movimiento. A pesar de que el patio se ve hermoso, le falta algo. Mientras tanto, las niñas preciosas miran desde la ventana, copas de nieve cayendo majestuosamente afuera.

    Even poutry have intuition Yesterday I spent a lovely afternoon talking with a farmer about life conditions in isolated places. He told me that in his village there were no electricity nor roads when he was a child. Furthermore, the closest road was at a 12 hour travel by horse. While we talked he made many interruptions to went in and out of his house. During that time all the birds walked around searching for insects and green grass. Suddenly the man said to me - I think they're hungry - and went inside the house once again. But this time everything was different because all the birds, specially the hens, get closer to the door and start behaving in a strange way, like they were nervous. I shocked because I realized that they probably were capable to detect some signs in the movements of their owner which mean to them: It's lunch time! As a city guy I was awe, but the farmer didn't show any surprise, he just said: they know. Back in the city I could't stop thinking about that experience: if birds don't understand human language what kind of phenomena explain what I saw. For me, the most reasonable explanation is a form of animal intuition. If poultry have intuition, hence humans must to have too right?

    It is possible to use "dream of" to talk about actual dreams? I've found this sentence in a book about dream interpretation written by an American psychologist ("Inner Work" by Robert Johnson): "The woman who dreams of this archetype (archetype of love) is not made up only of the urge to love. She also has the capacity for hatred or spite, as we all do, hidden away somewhere within her total personality" I am confused because I learned that "dream about"is the correct form to talk about actual dreams, and when refering to aspirations and goals you must use "dream of". Is that sentence an exception to the rule? I'm also confused about the meaning of the phrase"made up only of the urge to love". Isn't "made up" an expression to describe something false or asembled? What's the meaning of the phrase?

    A nice day Today, me and my daughters made a short trekking whith my friends and their children into the fields next to their children's school. The children ran, laughed and played each other while we (the adults) had an interesting talk about different topics. We found a small native forest wich almost nobody visit. Inside it were plenty of a bush called Quila (a type of bamboo) and many lianas. There were also some old trees which were very impressives and awe-inspirings. We found a honeycomb inside a tree, altough it wasn't easy to discover because the entrance was in a small knot of the trunk. Were it not for the constant flow of bees in and out of the knot we wouldn't notice it at all. At the end of the day all toghether shared a delicious meal in the house of one of my friends, the kids ate first and then played again while we took advantage of that and ate in a relative peace. I really enjoy these simple moments because they make me feel as I were part of a big family or a tribe.

    Pensamientos de lenguas Algunas reflexiones sobre las lenguas (también se puede hablar de idiomas que suena un poco menos académico)

    En Español:
    Parte Una del de las razones por la que me gustan las lenguas, es que elloas dan voz a nosotros nuestras emociones y pensamientos. Las palabras dan forma y expresión a nuestras ideas, nuestras esperanzas y nosotros nuestras  visiones del futuro y el pasado. Las palabras de nuestra lengua materna son cómodo comodas. Ellas son los cuentos de nuestra abuela, la lecciones de nuestro padre, y la conexión de su con nuesra communidad. Enseñar su tu lengua a otros personas, es compartir su tu vida. Recuerda, cuando alguien comparte su lengua contigo  usted, esta compartiendo algun algo muy personal.

    In my native language:
    Part of the reason I like languages is that they give voice to our emotions and thoughts. Words give form and expression to our ideas, our hopes, and our visions of the future and the past. The words of our native language are comfortable. They are our grandmother's stories, our father's lessons, and our connection to our community. To teach your language to someone else, is to share your life. Remember, when someone shares their language with you, they are sharing something very personal.

    First attempt Hi everybody! This is my first entry on italki. For the first time in my life, during the last couple of months, I've been studying seriously a language. I'll assist to an international medical course which will be imparted in english in may. Therefore my goal is to reach a level good enough to be able to understand and discuss complex academic topics. My weaker point definitely is my written english because I don't have a solid grammar base (honestly I hate studying grammar), and that's why I decided to give this a try. Looking forward to receiving comments and corrections. Thanks!
