I wish we could encourage more people to take part this is good fun as well as being challenging :) - FELIZ77, Dec 6, 2010

Thank you Carlos. This is really very good practice. - sanlee, Dec 6, 2010

I know that accents could be difficult to use in Spanish. - Carlos-F, Dec 6, 2010

Yes, I wish I knew the rules about accents. Are there rules, or are they arbitrary? - sanlee, Dec 6, 2010

Yes, there are rules for accents, but in this case I was talking about "tilde" or to put a written accent on. - Carlos-F, Dec 6, 2010

Answer 1

1 ¡Vamos! Atrevete y participa. 2 El empresa Navimag Cruceros presta servicios turisticos en el zona de los canales patagónicos, entre las X y XII Regiones de Chile. 3 Felicitaciones a todo los participants

1 ¡Vamos! Atrévete y participa ( I have used the imperative here)

2 La empresa 'Navimeg Cruceros' presta servicios turísticos en la zona de los canales patagónicos, entre las X y XII regiones de Chile.

3 Felicitaciones a todos los participantes.

Well done Feliz. #1 It's imperative, but you need to correct the conjugation (2nd person singular). #2 Navimag Cruceros is the name of a company. #3 It's perfect. - Carlos-F, Dec 6, 2010

Congratulations Feliz...Just excelent... - Carlos-F, Dec 6, 2010

Thanks Feliz...lol..."Excellent"...I got it...lol - Carlos-F, Dec 6, 2010

I meant to write excellent but my typing was not excellent lol hhaaha - FELIZ77, Dec 6, 2010

Answer 2

1 ¡Vamos! Atraviesa y participa.

2 La empresa Navimag Cruceros presta servicios turísticos en la zona de los canales patagónicos, entre las X y XII Regiónes de Chile.

3 Felicitaciónes a todos los participantes.

I don't think I did Atrevete correctly.

I don't think I did Navimag Cruceros right either.

I liked this one because to risk the embarrassment of failure is worth the challenge and joy of learning Spanish. I think most of us have at one time or another learned through failure! It's still feels embarrassing, but thanks Carlos for the encouragement to keep trying!

Very well again, Bandit... - Carlos-F, Dec 6, 2010

#1 Atrévete is the correct answer #2 It's Regiones (without accent) #3 Felicitaciones (without accent)... - Carlos-F, Dec 6, 2010

Oh, yeah they are plurals so they have no accents. Tricky! But wonderful practice! - bandit51jd, Dec 6, 2010

Don't worry Bandit we are all learning together :0 I took one look thought HELP! and dived in anyway lol - FELIZ77, Dec 6, 2010

And after you think, oh m y goodness, how could I miss that, right? wow!!!! - margaretbl, Dec 6, 2010

There were 3 ways to write this: Los canales patagones, Los canales de patagonia, and Los canales patagónicos and I dont have any of them. Hmm, let me rethink this... - sanlee, Dec 6, 2010

Patagonian Channels: Canales patagones, Canales de patagonia , canales patagónicos - sanlee, Dec 6, 2010

You're right. It could be "los canales patagones" or "los canales de Patagonia" or "los canales patagónicos"... - Carlos-F, Dec 6, 2010

I hope I have it right now. Thanks, Carlos! - sanlee, Dec 6, 2010

Just perfect....Congratulations Sanlee... - Carlos-F, Dec 6, 2010

I hope that I am at least close....I really struggled on the second one....thanks for giving us some practice!!

Very good Chruhlman. #1. It's a valid answer too. It's more formal / #2. "La empresa" instead of "El empresa"...Almost perfect / #3 "participantes" instead of "participants". - Carlos-F, Dec 6, 2010

arg, I missed that one too, afterwards it glares out at you right. - margaretbl, Dec 6, 2010
