sentence structure with tan importante

using these words I made the following sentence: no atreverse / yo / tan importante / una decisión / tomar / a

No me atrevo a tomar una decisión tan importante.

I'm not sure if "tan importante" should go before or after "una decisión". Also, is the rest of the sentence correct?

I believe that the way you have expressed it is already correct in so far as the position of tan importante is concerned:

No me atrevo a tomar una decisión tan importante.

I spoke it out both ways and it certainly sounds more natural placing tan importante after una decisión. It sounded strange/unnatural saying it the other way around.

As regards the rest of the sentence: I believe it to be correct but I am not 100% sure, so please wait to receive confirmation from native or advanced speakers. wink

Sometimes you can place words in two different orders and the sentences would be correct and make sense either way but carry subtley different meanings in Spanish. I don't think that reversing the order is applicable in this sentence; although I could be wrong.

I hope this helps grin
