I want to write my Spanish teacher a letter in spanish as a christmas gift. I dont want to giv it to her with all these errors. If you could correct it, i would be so grateful.

The letter is supposed to say:

"Dear Mrs. DeMoura, Merry Christmas! Thank you for being my Spanish teacher. I have learned a lot this year, even though it's only December. I admire your hard work, and hope to have the same work ethic as you when I become a Spanish teacher myself. You present the material well, and it really helps. I was having a problem with 'demonstrative pronouns' and that 'Hagan Ahora' helped a lot! When I asked you about becoming a teacher, your advice helped the decision. I look forward to a great year with you as my Spanish teacher. Have a great holiday. Sincerely, Tyler Poeti"

What I have translated. (no translater)

"Quierda Señora DeMoura, ¡Feliz Navidad! Gracias usted por siendo mi maestra de español. Yo he aprendido mucho este año, anunque está solo deciembre. Yo admiro tu trabajo duro, y espero tener lo mismo ética de trabajo a medida que cúando me converto en un maestro de español. Tú presentas el material bien, y lo ayuda. Yo estaba teniendo un problema con 'demonstrative pronouns' y ese 'Hagan Ahora' ayuda mucho! Cúando yo te pido sobre seriendo un maestro, tu asesoramiento ayudó en la decisión. Me alegro de antemano un buen año contigo así mi maestra de español. ¡Ten un buen feriado! Senciramente, Tyler Poeti"

In your English sentence, Spanish should be capitalized. I'll let the experts look at the Spanish one..jeje - rac1, Nov 22, 2012

Very sorry Tyler; I gave up half way through and I hope that one of our Spanish speakers will zip through it in a quarter the time it might take me. My only excuse is age; it's catching up with me.

Keep trying though; too many people just don't have the courage even to try to write something like this.

As you see our joint wish has been granted. Pitagoras has come galloping to the rescue. Maybe you should try him on Geometry too! - geofc, Nov 22, 2012

Querida Señora DeMoura: ¡Feliz Navidad! Gracias por ser mi profesora de español. He aprendido mucho este año aunque sólo es diciembre. Admiro su trabajo duro, y espero tener la misma ética laboral cuando me haga yo profesor de español también. Presenta usted bien el material y eso realmente ayuda. Tenía un problema con los pronombres demostrativos, ¡y lo de "Hagan ahora" ayudó mucho! Cuando le pregunté sobre llegar a ser profesor, su consejo me ayudó a tomar la decisión. Estoy entusiasmado de pasar este año con usted como mi profesora de español. Que pase unas fiestas maravillosas.
Sinceramente, Tyler Poeti.
