O tienes que pasear aún más con los perros, Chris. O quizás correr en vez de pasear . . . . :) - Ingeteacher, Jul 8, 2011
jajaja...gracias Fidalgo... :) - 001a2987, Jul 8, 2011
Sí Inge, pero si paseo más con mis perros, ¡tendré menos tiempo para comer pizza! (jajaja - ¡solo estoy bromeando!) - 001a2987, Jul 8, 2011
Making me hungry! - Jraider, Jul 8, 2011
No Chris, no era bueno consejo. Si pasearás más con tus perros, no te quedará tiempo poner aquí "La palabra del día". ¡Pues, que aproveche! - Ingeteacher, Jul 8, 2011
jajaja Inge - qué chistoto eres!!! (rolling on the floor laughing!!) - 001a2987, Jul 8, 2011

Me encanta que ya no estás harto de mí, Chris :) Quiero tanto practicar expresarme en español que escribo muchos comentarios con cada uno :) - Ingeteacher, Jul 8, 2011
No Igne, por supuesto disfruto practicar contigo....necesitamos practicar español mucho, y es un buen manera. Y es por eso que deberías unir Skype....es muy divertido, y tendrás mucha practica! - 001a2987, Jul 8, 2011
Un amigo ya ha instalado Skype en mi ordenador, pero todavía no sé como funciona. No soy muy hábil en estas cosas . . . . :( - Ingeteacher, Jul 8, 2011
Además, probablemente estoy durmiendo durante las sesiones de Skype porque vivo en Europa . . . . - Ingeteacher, Jul 8, 2011

This is a little ambiguous in English, Miro. It could mean you only want the document to be given to the Director, to nobody else. - galsally, Jul 8, 2011
In which case it would be better to say 'Give this document to the Director in person'. Or, it could mean that only YOU can deliver it, nobody else must do it. - galsally, Jul 8, 2011
In which case I think it would be better to say 'I want you, personally, to give this document to the Director'. - galsally, Jul 8, 2011
I could be wrong about the commas, but to me it is much clearer said these ways. :) - galsally, Jul 8, 2011

No es necesario que siempre se estén de acuerdo en todas las cosas. Personalmente, creo que las diferencias en opinión o caractér se puedan ayudar a evitar el aburrimiento en el matrimonio. grin

It's not necessary that you always agree with each other about everything. Personally, I think that differences in opinion or character might help to avoid boredom in your marriage. wink

@Ingeteacher Eso espero :) Quizás sea la razón :) - Fidalgo, Jul 8, 2011
Fidalgo, quizás solamente quiere jugar, ¿no? :) - Ingeteacher, Jul 8, 2011
Tenés / Tienes razón :) - Fidalgo, Jul 8, 2011
I think you need to use 'breed' here, Fidalgo. Or even 'rear'or 'raise' - we don't use 'bring up' for animals. :) - galsally, Jul 8, 2011
Thanks so much for the advice, Sally :) - Fidalgo, Jul 8, 2011

Aunque te dicen que has sido despedido debido a los ajustes económicos, es difícil no tomárselo personalmente.

Although they tell you that you've been fired because of the economic adjustments, it's difficult not to take it personally.

Personalmente, Me gusta la musica de Shakira. ¡El hecho de que es bella, guapa, linda, caliente, etc.., no tiene nada que ver!

Personally, I like Shakira's muisic. The fact that she is beautiful, handsome, pretty, cute, and hot, has nothing to do with it!
