Posts which will not be corrected or accepted:

Do not use subject pronouns in Spanish
Please refrain from overloading with graphic content (ie; bold smileys, etc). It makes it harder for the correctors to be able to read your posts…. )

My Example:

I have no problem to study Spanish during all my free time, as long as someday I will be able to talk to somebody in Spanish. (Maybe in 85 years, give or take….)
