Hola Luisa, ¡Estoy emocionado a visitarte! Llegaba en lunes, a las seis por la mañana. Pero, antes de llegar, necesito saber unas cosas. Primero, ¿tienes un banco que esté cerca de tu casa? No me gusta caminar. Y necesito una peluquería que haga pelo y uñas rapida y todos los días. ¿Es la ciudad limpia? Porque me choca la suciedad. Para los vacaciones comprado mucho vestidos y mucha ropa nueva. Pero, compremos más vestidos y faldas. ¡Estamos demasido bonitos! Vamos a la joyería y compremos muchos zapatos en la zapatería. Comamos en la...

I'm sure I'll miss some things but a couple that jump out at me are:

  1. If you're writing it from a girls perspective (which I hope you are given the dress and skirt comments, or is that where your comedy is coming in?) you should be 'emocionada' not 'o'

  2. Llegaba - is the imperfect of llegar - a past tense and I think you're referring to a future arrival so it should be 'llegaré' (I will arrive) or voy a llegar

  3. Instead of 'tienes un ....' I would use 'hay un banco cerca de tu casa' at the same time removing the need (or in this case not) of the subjunctive.

  4. If you wanted to say 'I have bought' you will need the verb haber to go with your past participle 'he comprado' ...

  5. A hairdressers that does hair - I would be inclined to use the present tense as it's likely to exist (instead of the subjunctive but perhaps it could go either way)

  6. Did you want the future tense for 'we will buy' compraremos or perhaps 'vamos a comprar ....

  7. estamos demasiado bonitas? (demasiado was missing an a) - are you going to be pretty only in that moment or did you want to use ser?

  8. compremos again, did you want future? and the same for comamos.

Just my suggestions but I'm not a native speaker so best to wait for some more feedback and do some more checking smile

Thanks a ton! the nosotros commands and subjunctive in adjective clauses were required in the writing so thats why some of it may have seemed a little odd - aaronjhenley, Oct 18, 2010
