Hi. I am an old (but still kicking!) married man from Florida. I am originally from New York, but moved to Florida to be with the other old people (lol), and to escape the cold and snow. I am looking for something to supplement my current Spanish learning tool. I am trying to learn Spanish to keep my brain healthy and to perhaps communicate with Spanish speaking people in my neighborhood, and for traveling. I am a serious student and need to improve my speech comprehension and to better learn some of the special sentence constructions with verbs like Gustar and Encantar.

    I don't think that either one is incorrect grammar, but I think the second one is better. Note that you may also hear that same statement as "I am not sure that that is a good idea". I do think that the one with the "if" clears up any possible confusion.

    Hi Hamid. I don't know if any grammar rules are broken in your statement, but I think most of us native English (American) would not say it that way. I think that we almost always include a subject (and not assume), and have not heard "full-on immersive few days" in my 75 years of life! I would say the first sentence as: I am feeling nourished and grateful for being able to spend a few days in the national park.

    My Recent Cruise ¡Hola! Acabo de regresar de mi crucero. Lo pasé bien, ¡pero me lastimé el brazo al caer de un caballo! Probablemente pienses "¿un caballo en un barco?" ¡Estaba en el carrusel! Tengo un poco de sobrepeso (220 libras) y ya tenía un problema de brazo-hombro, así que cuando puse todo mi peso en mi brazo izquierdo para subir al caballo, cedió. Todavía duele, pero con suerte desaparecerá pronto. Como de costumbre, comimos demasiado, pero ni mi esposa ni yo ganamos mucho peso. Estamos de vuelta en nuestras rutinas de ejercicio: ando en bicicleta cada dos días con otras fochas viejas y ella camina. Ok, es bueno estar de regreso y espero tener algunas conversaciones largas con usted. Bob ** Used a translate program to do mostly all of this....... would appreciate an analysis of whether translation makes sense, if anything is not understandable, and if anything is normally said differently in Spanish. Thx.

    Yo soy Bob Hola, me llamo Bob de Florida, Estados Unidos. Yo soy un hombre viejo, pero joven de corazón. Me gusta volar aviones de control remote y jugar al golf. Yo tambien estudio el español y quiero aprenderlo bien. Is this normal Spanish and what would be wrong if I used just aprender in the last sentence?

    Btw - does anyone here believe they have been abducted, or have a missing time experience?

    I have read that that (language lol) has happened already...........and we reacted by shooting at them. I think that we have shown that when faced with an unexpected thing whether it be an action or a "thing", we (humans) react in fear. I like to think that if we meet an alien, it would be friendly. Do most people thing it would be bad and want to eat us?

    I would say either adjective is ok, and that they are very similar in meaning.
