Please correct my English and Spanish - Vaanz, Mar 29, 2011
I think it may be better to say three times a day or per day. Thrice daily would also be correct, but I don't know if it matches the Spanish. - dc-alien-z, Mar 29, 2011
Is the word thrice used in modern day English? - Hungerford, Mar 29, 2011
not much.. - jennyo45, Mar 29, 2011
Thrice is not used in the U.S., but is understood. - JoyceM, Mar 29, 2011

"is moving to", in this case, means "se va a mudar", then : Mi hijo se va a mudar a otra casa "la" próxima semana. Good work, jennyo! :) - cogumela, Mar 29, 2011
Gracias cogumela. - jennyo45, Mar 30, 2011

Antes de mudarme de casa, quiero preparar una maleta con mudas para el día siguiente, porque no hay nada peor que mudarse a una casa nueva y no tener una muda limpia que ponerse.

Before moving home, I want to prepare a bag/suitcase with clean robes for the next day, because there is nothing worse than moving to a new house and not have to wear a clean change.

Cuando era niña mi familia se mudó unas diez veces, así que ahora me siento rara si me quedo en un sitio determinado

When I was a girl my family moved some 10 times so now I feel strange if I stay in one particular place too long.
