Spanish speakers
For the past 12 weeks I've been forced to take a Spanish elective class... of course I haven't been paying much attention. Now I need to write a short 100 word piece about my family, myself, my favourite snacks, etc.
:BangBang: Any good online resources? Thanks. |
me likes mucho taco. I'm mucho puto. Mi tio me chupa las bolas.
You'll need more words, but you'll see I included all requested subjects :glugglug |

I can even try to translate it for you and someone who is from a spanish native country post it fixed. |
Forced how? At gunpoint? Want me to call 911 perra?

OK, this is what I have; some personal information has been removed for obvious reasons. Little help please? :)
My name is *(name)* and I'm *(number)* years old. I was born in *(country)* and I live near *(town)*. I study *(subject)* and *(subject)* at *(city)* University, although I don't like studying. In my spare time I enjoy cycling and computer games. I speak English and Japanese, although my Spanish is poor. My girlfriend is called *(name)*, we have been together for *(number)* years. I have one sister called *(name)*, but no brothers. My mother is called *(name)* and my father is called *(name)*. On Sunday my parents returned from holiday in Cyprus. My favourite snacks include pizza, chocolate and salty potato chips. In the future I'd like to travel and improve my Spanish. |

En mi tiempo libre me gusta andar en bicicleta y jugar videojuegos. Hablo Ingles y Japones, pero mi espaņol es pobre. Mi novia se llama [girlfriend name], estamos juntos desde hace [number] aņos. Tengo una hermana que se llama [sister name], pero no tengo hermanos. Mi madre se llama [mother's name] y mi padre se llama [father's name] El domingo pasado mis padres vovlieron de sus vacaciones en Cyprus. Mis snacks[*] favoritos incluyen la pizza, el chocolate y las papas fritas. En el futuro me gustaria viajar y mejorar mi Espaņol. *= there's no translation for 'snack' we use it like that, but maybe your teacher is not familiar with slang or modern terms so you can replace that paragraph with: "Mis comidas favoritas incluyen la pizza, el chocolate y las papas fritas." *2= Your study subjects can and probably should be translated too, privacy freak :glugglug |
Thanks Roberto, you rock. :glugglug

Actually there is a translation for "snack" it is "botana". A "botana" its a non formal meal. |
Jovigirl rocks!
We use: chucheria for snaks... I would use this instead of the text u have: Para que putas estudiar espaņol, si con el porno en ingles puedo pagar por un traductor que viaje con migo donde vaya. Lo unico bueno se saber castellano es que las mujeres hispanas son las mas ricas del planeta. Suerte! Quote:
