    "Yo hablo espanol perfecto. Nunca estudié lo. Pero todos mi amigos me dizen q hablolo al perfección. Que os parece este....este....afirmación. Todos ustedes no sepan nada de essio. 

     

    Note the mixing of the vosotros and the ustedes and improper placement of articles, not to mention the lack of concordance between nouns and adjectives and gender."

    This doesn't make any sense, because any person who has spent any significant amount of time around the Spanish language will intuitively KNOW that all of that is wrong.  You don't have to teach it.  And if the issue is spelling (which many of the errors here are), the solution is more reading.  I think grammar can serve as a guide or a model, so that beginning learners have an idea of where they need to go, etc.  But it's just a guide.  Saying grammar instruction is equivalent to language learning is like saying that the map is equivalent to the road.  Completely off base.  

    I totally agree with Antonio when he says that when it comes to grammar instruction, "less is more".  Gracias Antonio por compartir tu experiencia y conocimiento.

    Kate’s Toys

    When I was seven years old I wrote my first story in the fact it was silly and stupid but I like it maybe because it reflected/reflects my dreams. It’s about a little girl is called Kate who  likes to sleep a lot because in her dreams she used to travel all around the world and get a toy from each country she visited to collect them in her room and make them her true friends. She didn't have friends at school she because she was very shy , quiet , weak and boring so no one liked her .


    Hi, you want to make sure you you are consistent with your verb tense.  If you are in past use the past, if you are in present use the present. Good story!

    Four sentences

    1) I cried because I didn't have enough money to buy shoes.Suddenly, I stopped crying when I saw a man without feet.
    2) Nothing will happen to you while I'm alive.
    3) When we asked someone for something, he answered us with questions.
    4) We arrived after something happened, and we asked someone there to tell us what it was. He began answering us by saying " nothing " then he told us something serious. What a contradiction.


    I think you need to use the past tense in these sentences.

    I am a speaker of American English. My impression is that #1, "If I were you", sounds more correct and more formal. But you will hear #2 "If I was you" a lot of the time. In my opinion, in spoken English both are fine. If you're going to write or do something formal, "were" is better.

    "Please cut to the chase" means "please get to the point, now".  For example, if someone is taking a long time to explain something and you become impatient.  You could say, "Please cut to the chase".

    But it doesn't make sense after saying "I added you on Skype".
