Writing a speech in Spanish

5
votes

Hello! I have to write a speech in Spanish for Spanish folk, against modern types of buildings in cities with old buildings and I was wondering on how to begin. I've never, ever written any type of speech in Spanish before, so I'm not that familiar with the structure which I could possibly follow. If anyone has any website which they can kindly direct me to or offer some of their own advice on this matter, I would be really grateful!

Many thanks,

Spanish learner.

Hi.

Spanish-speakers are the same as any other group....just compose what you'd like to say in English and then translate to Spanish. Make sure that any idioms you use are correctly translated...not just literally from English to Spanish.
