But this weekend I think the weather will be bad. Nevermind, I will not think about that for I will have good company.April 23, 201530
- Please check my English Translation of this Spanish text Los judíos actualmente están divididos en dos grupos: askenazíes (alemanes) y sefardíes (españoles). Sefarad fue el nombre hebreo de España. Los judíos vivieron en España desde tiempos muy antiguos. Según una tradición, vinieron con los comerciantes fenicios,(1) en tiempos bíblicos. Consideraron España como un país históricamente judío. Durante el período visigodo,(2) después de la desaparición del imperio romano, los judíos sufrieron discriminación y represión. Deseando libertad religiosa, los judíos invitaron a los árabes a conquistar el país. Colaboraron con ellos. Bajo el dominio árabe de España, los judíos prosperaron. La cultura de los judíos llegó a alturas desconocidas desde tiempos bíblicos. Los judíos eran médicos, científicos, abogados, estadistas y filósofos. El médico y filósofo más famoso(3) fue Maimónides, pero hubo(4) muchos otros. Fue en España donde la lengua hebrea fue usada por vez primera para poesía profana. En España comenzaron los estudios bíblicos. Sabios judíos(5) prepararon el primer diccionario de la Biblia. Fueron identificados los dos autores del libro Isaías. Los judíos en otras partes del mundo reconocieron a Sefarad como el centro del judaísmo. El misterioso y riquísimo(6) reino de Granada fue al principio un reino judío. La reina Isabel la Católica desterró a los judíos en 1492. Los judíos sufrieron mucho. Fueron a Holanda, a Italia y especialmente al imperio otomano. Varios emigraron, después, al Nuevo Mundo. Conservan la identidad sefardí hasta hoy. En Israel hay actualmente periódicos en español, escritos con el alfabeto hebreo. Muchos cristianos españoles eran judíos convertidos, o descendientes de ellos. Américo Castro descubrió el abolengo judaico de muchos españoles famosos: Cervantes, Loyola, Santa Teresa y varios otros. La gran cultura católica española tiene un origen judío. Comparte con el judaísmo, en parte, una actitud hacia el mundo.April 20, 201560
- España, un país judío The Jews are actually divided into two groups: askenazies and the sefardies. Sefarad was the name of hebrews of Spain. The Jews lived in Spain since ancient times. According to tradition they came with Phoenician merchants, in biblical times. They considered Spain as historically Jewish. During the Visigoth period, since the collapse of Imperial Rome, the Jews suffered discrimination and repression. Wanting religious freedom , the Jews invited the arabs to conquer the country. They, the Jews, collaborated with them. Under the rule of Arabic Spain, the Jews prospered. Jewish culture reached heights unknown since biblical times. The Jews were doctors, scientists, lawyers, artists and philosophers. The most famous medic and philosopher was Maimonides, but there were many others. He was in Spain when the hebrew language was first used as in irreligious poetry. In Spain they started the study of the Bible. Educated Jews prepared the first dictionary of the Bible. They were identified as the two authors of the book Isaiah. Jews in other parts of the world recognise Sefrad as the centre of Judaism. The ministry and the very rich state of Granada was the principle kingdom of the Jews. Queen, Isabel (a Catholic) expelled the Jews in 1492. The Jews suffered much. They went to Holland. Italy, and especially to the Ottoman empire. Various Jews after emigrated to the New World. The conserve the Sefradi identity even up until today. In Israel there are currently newspapers in Spain, written in Hebrew. Many Spanish Christians, were converted Jews, or descendants of them. Américo Castro discovered a Jewish lineage of many famous Spaniards: Cervantes, Loyola, Santa Teresa and several others. The great culture of Spanish Catholics, contains a Jews origin. (Which) It shares with Judaism, in part, an attitude to the world.April 20, 201500
Red writing are my thoughts on the things I've highlighted in yellow! Some are just comments I've highlighted
LANGUAGE AND COMMUNICATION
I´m going to speak about language and communication.
I think Why do you need to write "think"? This almost a universal truth. it´s easy to see the advantages of Language and Communication in our every day’s lives. I would write something like "It is easy to see the importance of langugage and communication in our every day lives / society"
Today one of the main advantages of communication This doesn't make sense really, do you mean something like, today communication is easy? If so maybe you could write, with today's ease of communication we can keep in touch with family and friends whenever and wherever. is that you can communicate with your family or your friend no matter where you are. For instance; you can contact instantly with your friend by calling or sending messages by WhatsApp or Facebook or even doing a video conference by Skype. It´s maybe the main reason because almost all people today want to have their own internet connection or Wi-Fi This doesn't really make sense, what is "it's" refering to?. From my point of view, it´s obvious that a good communication assist in business and social life. For example:
- Helping social relation
- Exchanging ideas and projects
- Learning knowledge and experience
I would like to highlight the importance of languages. You should really end on this point of "importance" as well rather than the trip to the UK.
Learning other languages allows you to develop new ideas, to exercise your mind, to enjoy of cultural world, to working in for an international company, apart from to be able to express yourself in front of everyone and to increase social relations.
Today we are in a permanent communication with other countries with different languages, so nowadays don't need "nowadays" after "today"many people in Spain want to learn a second language. Nobody is too young or too old to learn other languages. Everybody can try it. A clear example is my mom, she is 60 years old. Two years ago she decided to learn English and she is hard-working to get it, now also I´m learning English in an Official Language School and we practice together. I think we need improve our speaking but this summer we are going to travel UK during one month and we hope to progress our pronunciation. this doesn't make sense, you are saying that "nobody is too old or too young to learn..",But then follow with "Everybody can try it" finally you provide an example which doesn't rationalise the first comment but maybe does the second.There are other points, generally speaking this is okay.
