We went through a really interesting poem that focussed on a lot of irregularities in English spelling and pronounciation! Great stuff!

    La diferencia entre estas 2 frases es en realidad muy sutil. "Hacer amigos"(verbo haber no reflexivo) denota que se está realizando un esfuerzo por ganar la amistad de otra persona, por otro lado, "hacerse amigos"(verbo reflexivo) denota que ese esfuerzo ha terminado y que has triunfado en ganar la amistad de la otra persona. Ejemplos: -"Ayer en la boda estaba haciendo nuevos amigos" (verbo haber no reflexivo). Aquí se hace énfasis, en que ayer estaba tratando de hacer un esfuerzo por ganar nuevos amigos, no necesariamente significa que yo logré nuevos amigos . -"Ayer en la boda, Helena y yo nos hicimos amigos"(verbo reflexivo). Expresa, que Helena y yo ya somos amigos, y que el esfuerzo por ganar la amistad de Helena ha terminado. Ahora, "Me hice amiga de él" (verbo reflexivo). Significa, que ya no te esfuerzas por ganar la amistad de la otra persona, porque simplemente ya son amigos. Mientras que "Hice amiga de él" es incorrecto (falta el pronombre reflexivo "me"). "Nos hicimos amigos" (verbo reflexivo). Ya somos amigos, aquí se resalta que ya no hay esfuerzo. "(Nosotros) Hicimos amigos" (verbo no reflexivo). Aquí se remarca que en el pasado hubo esfuerzo por intentar hacer amigos. Resumiendo: "Hacer amigos"(verbo haber no reflexivo) resaltas un esfuerzo o interés por obtener nuevas amistades. "hacerse amigos"(verbo reflexivo) remarcas el hecho de triunfo en ganar la amistad del otro. Espero haberte ayudado.

    ¡Hoy es un gran día en los estados unidos! Tú dices, “¿Por qué amigo?, ¿(Acaso) los políticos dejan sus puestos?”
    No, no tenemos tanta suerte como para eso.
    Hoy es el primer día de beisbol de Las Grandes Ligas, las cuáles empiezan con 15 partidos.
    Espero que Los Atléticos de Oakland ganen su partido contra Los Ángeles del sur de California.

    That's a good question. The only way I know one can learn to ride a bike is trying to ride a bike and eventually one day you're going to be able to ride a bike with proficiency, of course, during the process you're going to fall and make a lot of mistakes, which is normal, that's ok because you're gaining experience, so the only way to improve your speaking is precisely speaking. I've actually been in the same situation as you, I was petrified and speechless during a conversation with native speakers because sometimes I got the main idea of how to express some feeling or idea, but I didn't remember one or two crucial words to express the idea that I just had in mind, or even I knew the word, but my pronunciation was so bad that the other person in front of me didn't understand what I want to say. Now I've realized that you don't have to lose your cool in these situations, the only thing you have to do is just explain your idea with other words, it might mean that you sound weird or unnatural, but the important is that you've conveyed your idea to the other person, and then this person can suggest another way to say it. I remember one time, a Canadian and I were talking about our plans for the next day and I uttered "Tomorrow I going to make my laundry" and the other person said "Oh, Did you mean to do your laundry, because to make your laundry means that you're going to make sure you dirty your clothes", then we booth laughed about the misconception, it was funny. I would recommend you don't be afraid of making mistakes, if you made one, then just smile and try again, thank the person front of you if he/she gives some feedback and learn from your mistakes. Long story short, the more mistakes you make, the more experience you're gaining.
