I'm still around.

Question

I've had a few messages asking where I was and to avoid responding to each one individually I decided it would be much easier to post a thread.

I have taken a different possition over here in Iraq and I now have different hours and not nearly as much free time.

I am, however, very fortunate to have two fluent Spanish speakers working for me. And yes, I do take full advantage of it. I am still learning and will continue to do so. Thanks to everyone on here who has helped me.

I hope to be able to get back in the forum soon. Until then I will pop in and out from time to time.

Phil

Sorry, Jesus. Your translations are not correct here. - --Mariana--, Dec 9, 2009

Jesus, the phrase "still around" is confusing. In English, it means "I am still here./ "Estoy aqui." - Nicole-B, Dec 9, 2009

or, estoy aquí todavia :) - Valerie, Dec 12, 2009

"Por aquí ando", "aún estoy vivo". - Mokay, Dec 12, 2009
