Melyssa wanted feedback on an article she has written. She has a very modern and informal style which is very conversational. There were a couple of grammatical errors and one sentence that was possibly overlong that could be simplified.

    Cuando hago ejercicio físico, tengo más energía para las otras cosas que hago en el día. También, me hace sentir más feliz y cómoda con mi cuerpo en situaciones sociales. Cuando hago ejercicio físico en la mañana, tengo una sensación de éxito que llevo conmigo por todo el resto del día. Duermo mejor, como más sano, y me siento mejor en todos los aspectos. ¡Excelente texto! Puedes mejorarlo evitando repetir "ejercicio físico" y usando sinónimos como "ejercitarse". Algunas explicaciones útiles: - "Cuando hago ejercicio físico, me da más energía", no es correcto por la estructura. Pero puedes usar: - Hacer ejercicio físico me da más energía = Doing physical exercise gives me more energy - Cuando hacer ejercicio físico me da más energía, puedo hacer otras cosas = When doing physical exercise gives me more energy, I can do other things - " Me duermo" significa que estás quedándote dormido contra tu voluntad. Por ejemplo: - Me duermo en la clase porque es aburrida (the class bores me so much it makes me fall sleep) - Duermo bien todas las noches (I willingly sleep) Hope this was useful!

    No sé qué dieta es mejor realmente. Pero no como carne desde hace 14 años y me siento muy bien. Aunque me gusta el pescado y los mariscos, y continúo comiéndolos. ¡Hola Zhanna! Aquí está la explicación: Sé: Conjugación de Saber con Yo. Qué: Es un pronombre que representa la cosa en la oración. En los siguientes ejemplos, la cosa es el perro. - ¿Qué es eso? - No sé qué es eso. - Eso es un perro. Como carne: No necesitas el artículo. La relación entre el verbo y la cosa está completa. Si usas el artículo, debes ser específico. Por ejemplo. - ¿Vas a comer todo? - No, no voy a comer la carne (en el plato). ¿La quieres? - Sí, yo voy a comer esa carne. Desde hace: Cuando usamos "desde hace" indicamos que todavía no comemos carne en la actualidad. Mariscos: Siempre decimos "mariscos" cuando hablamos de comida. Continúo comiéndolos: Es una estructura para indicar que todavía estás haciendo algo. Es diferente de "estoy comiéndolos" porque "estoy comiéndolos" indica inmediatez. Por ejemplo: - ¿Continúas leyendo ese libro? - ¡Sí! Lo leo todas las noches. ¿Y tú? (la acción continúa en el presente) - ¡Sí, también! Lo estoy leyendo ahora. (la acción toma lugar en este momento) Si tienes más preguntas, te ayudaré con gusto. ¡Saludos!

    Porque Necesito Aprender Más Español

    Durante la pandemia, estaba en casa y no trabajé. Pero ahora, <s>me</s> vuelvo al trabajo en el centro comunitario.
    <ul><li>Even though it makes sense to use the reflexive here because you are executing the action of going back to work on yourself, "volver" already implies the action of taking yourself back to somewhere, so the reflexive is not necessary.</li><li>You do need the reflexive for "volver" if you use it as "to become/transform into something":</li><li class="ql-indent-1">Me volví una experta en poco tiempo.</li><li class="ql-indent-1">Se volvió más consciente de sus decisiones.</li></ul>

    Muchos de nuestras clientes son inmigrantes latinoamericanos y ellos no hablan ingles muy bien.
    <ul><li>Were your clients only women or also men? If it is a mixed group, we would rather say: Muchos de nuestros clientes son...</li></ul>

    Pienso que es importante que ellos aprenden inglés para comunicar con la sociedad más grande, pero también es muy importante que yo<s>u</s> hablo español.
    <ul><li>The correct sentence is: Pienso que es importante que ellos aprendan inglés para comunicarse con la mayor parte de la sociedad, pero también es muy importante que yo hable español.</li><li class="ql-indent-1">We need to use the subjunctive when we are about to introduce something that is not a fact (an action that actually happened, is happening or will happen). "Es importante que..." is an indicator of subjunctive.</li><li class="ql-indent-1">We use "comunicarse" since we are talking about these people communicating themselves with other people, not communicating something.</li><li class="ql-indent-1">If we are talking about the majority of the society, instead of using "más grande" that usually refers to size instead of number, let's use something that refers directly to the biggest portion like "la mayoría de". If you say "la sociedad más grande" it means "the biggest society".</li></ul>


    Si quiero estar conectado a las pruebas y problemas de la comunidad para apoyar la gente, necesito poderme <s>a</s> comunicar con la comunidad que servimos.
    <ul><li>The correct sentence is: Si quiero estar conectada con las pruebas de la comunidad para apoyar a la gente, necesito poder comunicarme con la comunidad que servimos.</li><li class="ql-indent-1">We use "conectada a" when we refer to electronic things such as Internet (like "connect to the wifi). If we want to say "to connect with something/someone", it's better to use "conectada con".</li><li class="ql-indent-1">We need "a" after "apoyar" to indicate the person we are directing the action to, the same happens with "visitar a", "tomar a", "mirar a", etc.</li><li class="ql-indent-1">Some people may say "necesito poderme comunicar" but it is better to conjugate the first verb, leave the second one in infinitive and then use the reflexive in the third one if we mean to. For example:</li><li class="ql-indent-2">Necesito poder bañarme más seguido (we use reflexive)</li><li class="ql-indent-2">Necesito poder bañar a mi perro más seguido (we don't use the reflexive, so the verb needs to stay in infinitive as the previous one)</li></ul>


    Es muy difícil por me <s>a</s> aprender español porque soy un adulto, pero quiero cometerme a estudiar más.
    <ul><li>The correct sentence is: Es muy difícil para mí aprender español porque soy una adulta, pero quiero comprometerme a estudiar más.</li><li class="ql-indent-1">Whenever we want to say "for me", we use "para mí".</li><li class="ql-indent-2">Para mí, este es un buen libro.</li><li class="ql-indent-2">Compró este libro para mí y mi hermana.</li></ul>

    ¡Espero que te haya sido útil, Mari! Writing is a great way to improve your Spanish, I do this type of exercises with my students :) have a great day and continue with your learning journey!

    Trauma Sensitive Yoga "Yoga for Trauma is a therapy. It’s not a discipline, but an alternative treatment and, as such, it’s objective is to heal. It brings you back into your body, healing emotional wounds, making you regain safety in your body and environment, meeting your agency. It uses breathing techniques and meditation, but also interoception, somatic experiencing, mindfulness, and more." Question: I'm not really sure what "meeting your agency" means. It's like "meeting your needs"?

    In or on when it comes to "online"? I wish to know if it is correct to use "on your online business" in this sentence: "The importance of using lead magnets on your online business lies on the efficacy of this particular set of techniques in the online marketing world due to their nature".

    "Find it in/on this app"? I have always had this doubt when writing about online platforms: do I use in or on? For example, which would be correct for the next sentences? - Find the products you need in/or this website? - Discover the best haircuts in/on this app? - The information is in/on my phone - In/on internet, you can get all the answers you need.

    Is it okay to say "My height is cutting me out"? I would like to know if it is correct to say "My height is cutting me out" or if it sounds incomplete. Maybe it would be better to say "My height is cutting me out of my social life"? Pd: No worries, I don't have any Napoleon complex, I'm just writing a story.

    Taking some mommy time for yourself When you become a mom, it’s like you are actually signing a contract that clearly stipulates that you are giving up all your me time, your womanhood, your couple time, and just any other aspect of your life that doesn’t revolve around the kid that you have. Some women feel this way but you still have the right to take some mommy time for yourself. In fact, you need to. In this post, I’m going to share with you, from mom to mom, why you should take time for yourself and how to do it effectively. Why do you need to take mommy time for yourself? Because mommy is only human. To feel fulfilled in this new aspect of your life, you need to be able to be happy. And it can be very difficult to be a happy person when you are under so much stress. Being a mother is difficult and there is nothing wrong with admitting this. You need time for yourself to let go of the fears you have, the big responsibility that is now in your hands, and the effects that all the changes in your body, relationship with your partner and life in general causes. Remember that a happy mother is a good mother, and that’s why I’m going to teach you my personal tips to find me time and recharge with energy. Even though you are a super mommy, you must have noticed that there are certain times during the day when you feel with less energy than usual. For some people, mornings are especially tough, others are ready to hang up the gloves as soon as the clock hits 9pm. Pay attention to your own behavior, when are you more tired? Once you have written down your mommy time on your agenda, don’t make up excuses to skip it or let anyone take from your me time. No, you are not selfish for wanting to have your own mommy time and protect it. You are just being aware that you need it and you are making sure you get it.
