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

Me parece que no solamente la niña está creciendo sino que también Santa envejece .

I think that not only is the girl growing up but Santa also ages.

By age three, I had learned that a nice smile and a cuddle could get me what I want.

Para los tres años de edad, había aprendido que un sonrisa bonita y un abrazo podían conseguirme lo que quiero.

('m uncertain about "para" here, but that's what wordreference.com says to use for "by" when referring to time: by a certain time.)

'Para los tres años de edad había aprendido' or 'A los tres años de edad he aprendido' :9 (you don't need 'de edad') - Pablo064, Dec 18, 2015
Shopping apparently dulls the mind. I usually do know how to form a past participle. Gracias, Pablo. (I know I don't need "de edad," but I wanted it anyway.) - AnnRon, Dec 18, 2015

Ann you use "para" for deadlines. I need it by Monday--Lo necesito para el lunes. Or "para las diez de la mañana" by ten am. - Daniela2041, Dec 18, 2015

The older sister is thinking aloud: "Family photographs can often be a little awkward ....but I would be also be able to relax a lot more if dad could stop dressing up in (wearing) this silly costume!" wink

Con una corrección:

La hermana mayor está pensando en voz alta: << A menudo, las fotografías de la familia pueden ser un poco incómoda (o delicada) ...¡pero podría relajarme mucho más también si papá pudiera dejar con desfrazarse de este traje ridículo! >> wink

disfrazarse con este traje.. .) - Pablo064 Dec 18, 2015

¡Mil gracias, por esta corrección, y todas tus correciones durante el año, Pablo y te deseo un Feliz cumpleaños y feliz año nuevo! wink

Corrijan mi español si es necesario, pora favor smile

Original sentence:

La hermana mayor está pensando en voz alta: << A menudo, las fotografías de la familia pueden ser un poco incómoda (o delicada) ...¡pero podría relajarme mucho más también si papá pudiera dejar de desfrazarse de este traje ridículo! >> wink

Santa was sitting on his chair in his wonderful suit of scarlet, his voice was so soft as silk and kind as puppy dog , he smelled of cookies and candy, and I can say seeing the jolly old man was very dandy. Merry Christmas. smile

Santa estaba sentado en su silla en su maravilloso traje de color escarlata, su voz era tan suave como la seda y clase como cachorro perro, él olía a las galletas y el caramelo y puedo decir viendo que el anciano alegre era muy divertido. Feliz Navidad. smile
