Answer 1

In Leatha's line:

The album "Kind of Blue", by Miles Davis, is one of my favorites. I like listening to it while driving.

---

El álbum "Kind of Blue", de Miles Davis, es uno de mis favoritos. Me gusta escucharlo cuando voy conduciendo.

Un clásico. - lazarus1907, May 24, 2011

Answer 2

The album, December, by George Winston, is one of my favorites. I like to listen to it when I want to relax.

El álbum, December, de George Winston, es uno de mi favorioas. Me gusta escucharlo cuando me quiero relajar.

That "by" used to indicate the author for a creative work is translated as "de", not "por". The preposition "por" is mainly to give reasons. - lazarus1907, May 24, 2011

Also, "favoritos" (-> el álbum), and "escucharlo cuando me quiero..." You wrote "listen to (a person) the thing I want to relax" - lazarus1907, May 24, 2011

I have that album too, it does have a tendency to put one to sleep. - amykay, May 24, 2011

I love that album. too, Leatha - sanlee, May 24, 2011

Gracias, Laz. - Leatha, May 24, 2011

"Tiene sentido" means "makes sense". I'd say something like "significativo" or "importante". - lazarus1907, May 24, 2011

Gracias, Larazus :) - Fidalgo, May 24, 2011

:-) - Destroyed99, May 24, 2011

I can play that song :) On the guitar :-P - Destroyed99, May 24, 2011

Great !!! I'd like to enjoy your version :) - Fidalgo, May 24, 2011

Hahaha, I don't have a camera or a good recorder :-P - Destroyed99, May 24, 2011

My mother used to teach me songs in Spanish.

Is that true? Nice :) - Kiwi-Girl, May 24, 2011

How sweet! :) - Destroyed99, May 24, 2011

Yes, thanks :) - Sabor, May 24, 2011

Good. - lazarus1907, May 24, 2011

Answer 6

Toque el piano en una banda de culto de la iglesia por más de veinticinco años.

I used to play the piano in a church worship band for more than twenty five years.

Did you? Now that is interesting! +1 Sanlee ;-) - Destroyed99, May 24, 2011

I'm not sure how to translate "worship band ", but you can't put "iglesia" and "alabanza" together like that (and it makes no sense). - lazarus1907, May 24, 2011

Maybe "banda de culto de la iglesia"? At least it is grammatically correct. If you are going to provide a definite time frame, you really want to use "toqué"; "tocaba" is for unspecified periods. Check "años" too. - lazarus1907, May 24, 2011

Thanks, Lazarus. I hope that I have it the right way now. - sanlee, May 25, 2011

Answer 7

A alguna gente, especialmente a los hombres, les gustan la música de Shakira. Pero no sé por que.

---

Some people, especially men, like the music of Shakira. But I don't know why.

I don't think they like her music Amy, I think they like her ;-) - Destroyed99, May 24, 2011

Don't forget that "a" in "A alguna...". In Spanish, "some people" is an indirect object, not a subject. - lazarus1907, May 24, 2011

And you'll have to do the same with "especialmente A los hombres". - lazarus1907, May 24, 2011

I was being facetious Johanna! jeje - amykay, May 24, 2011

muchas gracias Laz. - amykay, May 24, 2011

:-P - Destroyed99, May 24, 2011

So is that why you picked such a strange picture? hahaha - Destroyed99, May 24, 2011

Me gusta su canción - Gitana!! :) - 001a2987, May 24, 2011

Lmao the only one I like is "Whatever - Shakira", and I haven't even seen the video. - Destroyed99, May 24, 2011

Answer 8

No sé por que, pero cuando bailo, las personas se ríen de mí.

I don't know why, but when I dance, people laugh at me.

Lol, +1 - Destroyed99, May 24, 2011

Well, I'm actually surprised they don't run away screaming! ;) - NickDan, May 24, 2011

jejeje - if I saw this fella, I think I'd run away!! Thanks Hanna! - 001a2987, May 24, 2011
