Find a word related to S C A R E Y

The idea is to find an English word (synonym –- antonym -- phrase or idiom ) related to the word S C A R E Y (adjective)

and then

write a simple sentence in English and Spanish for that word. (not Scary)

Examples:

I think it is scary to record something in Spanish for everyone to hear.

Spoken English

Creo que es aterrador para grabar algo en español para que todos oyeran.

Some spoken Spanish I can't roll double Rs

Photobucket

Pictures would be nice.

Mariana has kindly agreed to be the “official” corrector of the Spanish.

I think I can manage being the “unofficial” corrector for the English, je je

This was the previous challenge.
