Answer 1

The young teacher: "Listen doggie, you must pay attention if you want to learn to read!"

La maestra jovencita: " Escucha perrito, ¡tienes que prestar atención si quieres aprender a leer!

The puppy; "Who said (was mentioning) anything about wanting to read? I would rather eat, chase cats and swim in the sea every day!"

El perrito (o el cachorro): "¿Quién mencionaba* algo de querer aprender a leer? ¡Preferería comer, perseguir a los gatos y nadar en el mar todos los dias!"

o ¿Quién hablaba de querer aprender a leer?*

Corrijan mi español si es necesario, por favor

Answer 5

Perro: Sí, sí, ya he oído que lees ese libro cien veces.

Answer 7

La educación comienza en la casa no en el kinder.

Education starts in the home not in kindergarten.

Answer 8

Oye perro, si no prestas atención y aprendes a leer, no vas a conseguir un buen empleo, y vas a quedarse atorado en jalar trineos por la nieve por el resto de tu vida.

Listen dog, if you don't pay attention and learn to read, you are not going to get a good job, and you will end up stuck pulling sleds through the snow for the rest of your life.

This might even be the next line in Feliz's conversation, now that I see his. :) - bosquederoble, Aug 17, 2016

In some cultures, pulling a sled is like being a rock star. :D - jrschenk, Aug 17, 2016

La niña: ¡Oye, perrito! ¿Puedes ayudarme con esta lectura? Hay algunas palabras que no sé muy bien.

El perro: Paciencia, niña. Un día de estos te van a enseñar la fonética.

The little girl: Hey, Doggie! Can you help me with this reading? There are some words that I don't know very well.

The Dog: Be patient, honey. One of these days they are going to teach you phonetics.
