Jeezzle notes: May 4. Good for printing out. Note these aren't from the movie, those are coming in a few hours.

Question

These are my notes as requested, they are not from the movie "El convento" St. Ange but I will post those later tonight when I have finished transcribing it. Gracias. Use these in health as they are a bit hefty. Gracias.

Note: This is the perfect example of how my notes "are" and I think these are great notes for printing out and keeping in a folder to help with casual understanding. Gracias. The movie notes are on the way. These are not culled from any movie, they are from a variety of different sources, none of which may be named directly. Gracias.

Answer 1

piensa que tienes que hacer - think about what you can do

Doesn't this mean: think about what you have to do?

me visto de negro porque asi me siento por dentro

I wear black on the inside because black is how I feel on the outside

I think this isn't correct. I think it should be: "I dress in black because that is how I feel inside". When you broke it down a few lines below this sentence, you did translate it correctly.
