My Example:

En mi primer chat en español, no pude decir una palabra. Desde entonces, puedo hablar con los nativos, y siempre va de maravilla. Tal vez algún día los nativos puedan entenderme a mí…jeje


My first Spanish chat, I couldn’t say a single word. Since then, I can talk with natives, and it is always great. Maybe one day natives will be able to understand me. jeje

Entonces como ahora camino solo,

cuando regresas a mi otra vez,

siempre tendré en mis abrazos,

entonces estaremos juntos,

amantes caminando en el sol.


Then as now I walk alone,

when you again return to me,

holding you in my embrace,

then we will be together,

Lovers walking in the sun.

La verdad es que esta es una historia larga, pues entonces.. empezó cuando luchaba con Paralee, nuestra profesora, porque no me escucha nunca , aunque tenga que saber todo sobre su vida. Lo de sus vacacíones, sus comidas, su família y entonces, la semana pasada me hartó y le dije - Basta ya, Paralee íVéte de mi ordinador !- y desde entonces no la he visto nunca más.

To be honest, this is a long story, but well, then... It started when I quarrelled with Paralee, our teacher, because she never listens to me, even though I have to know everything about her life, her holidays, her family, her food : so then last week I got so fed up I told her 'Paralee, that's enough! Get out my computer! ' and since then I haven't seen any more of her.

The bartender says "we don't serve nuetrinos that travel faster than the speed of light here." Then, a nuetrino walks into a bar.

Oí que las Niñas Exploradoras estaban vendiendo las galletas el sábado. Entonces, fui y compré tres cajas. Estaban ganando dinero para ir a las Bahamas.
