This is a game where we can practice our Spanish and English, but still have fun at the same time!

The rules are very simple and remain more or less exactly as RelaxingCup designed them and H C A student continued.

  • Post your comments/titles/captions to this picture (both in Spanish and English) and vote for the responses you like. The best answer will be chosen soon on the basis of the greatest number of votes as well as the language accuracy.

  • Pon tu comentario/ título/ pie de foto a esta imagen (ambos en español y inglés) y vota por las respuestas que te gusten. La mejor respuesta será seleccionada en un rato, tanto por la cantidad de votos como por la corrección en el uso del idioma.

  • Please, give everyone a chance and post one or so captions and no photos.

  • Por favor, deja que todos tengan una oportunidad y pon más o menos una respuesta, sin fotos. .

Please encourage everyone with a vote. smile

. .Please help each other with your English/Spanish sentences. And above all, have fun!

No llames al 911- si esperamos lo suficiente, suficiente personas llegarán para mover el tren, y es muy probable que suceda más rápido de lo que los servicios de emergencia podrían resolver la situación.

Don't call 911- if we wait long enough, enough people will arrive to move the train, and it is very likely that that will happen quicker than emergency services could resolve the situation.

..al 911...rápido de lo que los servicios de emergencia podrían..'de lo que los' I don't know how to explain that :D - Pablo064, Aug 31, 2015
Gracias, Pablo- I understand it, and wondered if I needed to use de there. It has to do with the fact that what follows is a full explicit phrase I think. Thanks. :) - bosquederoble, Aug 31, 2015
