Thank you! OK then --
I won't be following your personal logs (well, those whose I'm not teammates with), but if anybody wants me to check upon anything, or needs a hand with some grammar points, or whatever really, just say so here, I'll probably be in the shadows nearby ;) 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||||||||

I guess I'm lucky then: I've already made a self-introduction on Lang-8 (slightly
modified and I added the corrections that I remember - it would be cheating to copy the already corrected entry, wouldn't it?):
You'll find a link to the entry with corrections in my log. Most of my mistakes were (and are) cases of poor gender agreement (isla noruego, etc.)... Edited by stifa on 22 February 2015 at 9:45pm 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||||||||

Stian - parece que leemos los mismos libros y hacemos los mismos errores de gramática! Yo también leí los
libros de Harry Potter en español y acabo de empezar La ciudad de las bestias. Te ha gustado? Y pienso que debe ser "he leído" - siempre uso "ha" por accidente también =P dejaré las correcciones más meticulosas para mrwarper, pero es una pequeña cosa que he notado. Was my use of "por accidente"correct up there? I had a little internal debate between that and "sin querer". I also can't figure out how to get upside down punctuation. I guess i'll introduce myself too! Me llamo Emily, y soy de Canadá. Acabo de mudarme a la ciudad de Victoria para ir a la universidad. Estoy en el programa de Child and Youth Care (como traducirlo??) y me encanta. Tambien me he enamorado de la ciudad, y sobretodo del oceano. Me alegro de vivir tan cerca de la playa porque es un buen lugar para relajarse después de horas de estudio. Además de mis clases sobre la niñez, tomo una clase de español. Agradezco la oportunidad para mejorar mi español, pero es una clase de gramática y preferiría una clase de literatura o de cultura. Necesito más practica conversando, especialmente porque acabo de planificar un viaje a Peru por el mes de mayo! Voy a hacer trabajo voluntario en un refugio para chicas, y tendré que hablar mucho en español. Estoy un poco nerviosa pero muy emocionada. And my goal for the end of the month is to finish La ciudad de las bestias, which is very practical since the book is due back at the library soon. My bonus goal is not to finish something, but rather to get back into using Duolingo regularly (which means at least three times before the end of February). I'm seriously feeling the need to pump up my Spanish before my trip! Edit: I don't think i've linked to my log yet, so language.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35043&PN=1&TPN=8#5222 75">here it is. I'll change the name once we've got a confirmed team name! To be honest I don't update much anymore, but I am plugging along reading and watching in Spanish, doing homework and studying, and lurking on the forum/team log.

@Emily96:
hacemos [...] errores → cometemos errores
Correct :) siempre uso "ha" por accidente también → también uso siempre "ha" por accidente. If you pack so many elements with "me too" in one short phrase that's how it sounds more natural.
Perhaps "sin querer" sounds a bit better because it rules out external factors (it happened because you did it, on purpose or not) but there's no really big difference.
Try Alt+0191, 6824, or 168 on the number pad for "¿", and Alt+ 0161 or 173 for "¡", or install an US international (US X) or Spanish (SP or LA) keyboard layout in your system. I see you do type accented letters, though.
"Cuidado de niños y jóvenes" might work. "También", "sobre todo" (← two words, "sobretodo" is a coat!), "océano". (tengo|asisto a) una clase de español. [...] viaje a Perú para el mes de mayo! Pretty good :) Also, fixed the link to your log for you. Edited by mrwarper on 22 February 2015 at 10:29am 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||||||||

Muchas gracias!! for the corrections and for fixing my link. "Cuidado de niños y jóvenes" is simple enough. I
struggled a lot trying to translate it into French. As for the para/por - we were just working on prepositions in class so I should have got that! My reasoning was that I would be going for the duration of May... does that make any difference? 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||||||||

You're welcome :)
I just added "océano" (minde the accented é) above BTW.
Well, you just triggered my "inverse translation check" mode there. You could actually say "por" or "para" (these two are quite tricky for English speakers), or even "en", and they would more or less work -- I just wouldn't be 100% happy with any of them. If I wanted to be reasonably compact yet completely unambiguous that I'll be going in May and I'll be staying there for the whole month, I'd simply say: "acabo de planificar un viaje: pasaré mayo entero en Perú" and of course, many other variants are possible, e.g.: "estaré todo mayo en Perú", "iré a Perú (en|para|por) mayo y me quedaré (todo el mes|el mes entero)". Please note that the same sentence may or may not trigger some alarms depending on the speaker, as we are always on the look for ways of speaking, astray information, internal coherence, etc. in varying degrees of expectation :) Edited by mrwarper on 22 February 2015 at 11:02am 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||||||||

OK, Team Tapas it is! Much catchier than Team Spanish.
¡Hola compañeros! Me llamo Stephanie y soy profesora de segundo curso en un colegio de inmersión francés. Vivo en Toronto con mi esposo, nuestra sobrina de quince años, y nuestro perrito blanco. Me gustan los idiomas, la música y la literatura. Estudio el español desde hace un año y nueve meses. Empezé a aprender porque iba a España recorrer el Camino de Santiago con mi padre. Pues, casi un año después de mi viaje, sigo aprendiendo español. Me encanta este idioma, y creo que voy a seguir aprendiéndolo por mi vida entera. Leo, hablo y escucho bastante bien. Escribir, sin embargo, es muy difícil para mí. Nunca he escrito mucho en español, y ahora me cuesta mucho poner palabras en una hoja blanca. Estoy considerando ponerme el reto de aprobar el DELE C1 en noviembre. No lo necesito para mi trabajo. Es solo que quiero un objetivo para motivarme a profundizar mis conocimientos. No pasa nada si no paso la prueba - pero obviamente quiero tener éxito. ¡Tengo muchas ganas de aprender con vosotros en 2015! English translation: Hello teammates! My name is Stephanie and I'm a second grade French Immersion teacher. I live in Toronto with my husband, our 15-year-old niece and our little white dog. I love languages, music and literature. I've been studying Spanish for a year and nine months. I started learning because I was going to Spain to walk the Camino de Santiago with my dad. Nearly a year later, I'm still learning Spanish. I love this language, and I think that I'll be learning it for my entire life. I can read, speak and listen fairly well. Writing, however, is very difficult for me. I've never written much in Spanish, and now it takes a lot for me to put words on a blank page. I'm considering setting myself a challenge and sitting the DELE C1 in November. I don't need it for work. It's just that I want a goal to motivate myself to deepen my knowledge. It doesn't matter if I don't pass the test - but of course I want to succeed. I look forward to learning with you in 2015! Edited by Stelle on 22 February 2015 at 2:15pm 3 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||||||||

I asked a couple of questions in my log a while ago :) Bumped it now to make it easier to find.
