Hello Everybody! Welcome to the Picture of the Day! enter image description here

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 mañana, tanto por la cantidad de votos como por la corrección en el uso del idioma.

  • Please, give everyone a chance and only post more or less one caption 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!

Here is the previous Picture of the Day:

A veces me gustaría no era tan lindo, porque si yo era menos irresistible, pude dormir un poco.

Sometimes I wish I wasn't quite so cute, because if I was less irresistible, I could get some sleep.

Great caption, but don't you mean "less irresistible"? - AnnRon, Dec 5, 2015
Gracias, Ann, great catch! - jrschenk, Dec 5, 2015
Jr, "If I were less irresistable" This is one of the few situations when the English use the subjunctive ;) - FELIZ77, Dec 5, 2015
Ann, "If I were more irresistable" = (people couldn't resist touching me) I would get more attention and therefore less sleep, so the sentence would have to be "If I were less irresistable"! ;) - FELIZ77, Dec 5, 2015
When we say, He/she is irresistable we mean, we feel we can't resist that person's/animal's attraction, we are drawn to them! ;) - FELIZ77, Dec 5, 2015
..a veces me gustaría/desearía que no fuera tan lindo..si yo fuera menos..podría dorm un.. :)ir - Pablo064, Dec 6, 2015

¿Piensas que es fácil ser un gato? Simplemente trate de pegar un ojo en la misma casa con los seres humanos que insisten en dormir por la noche y permanecer despierto todo el día.

You think it's easy being a cat? Just try to get a wink of sleep in the same house with humans who insist on sleeping at night and staying awake all day.

Creo que he sufrido una sobredosis de la hierba gatera anoche.

I think I've had too much (an overdose) of catnip.

Cat: "I am having a lovely dream that I am lying on the beach in Spain, surrounded by lots of hunky male cats! The only problem is that some (ie: a certain) stupid waiter keeps trying to wake me up!" wink

Con una corrección

La gata: << ¡Estoy teniendo un sueño bonito que estoy tendido en la playa en España, rodeada de muchos gatos buenones (o atractivos)! ¡El único problema es que (un) cierto camamero estúpido sigue tratando de despertarme! >>

it would have to be 'rodeada..' smile - Pablo064 15 hrs ago

Muchas gracias por tu corrección, Pablo smile:

Corrijan mi español, si es necesario, por favor smile

Everyone just thinks it's Sanlee who worked so hard to get 4.1K badges. I wore myself out reaching that mark!

Solo todos piensan que es Sanlee la que trabajaba tan duro para conseguir 4.1 K insignias. Estoy agotado de alcanzar las estrellas.
