Short translation correct?

Question

Puedo participar en actividades escolares, por ejemplo...

I take part in many school activities, for example...

Answer 1

Participo en actividades académicas or actividades escolares (No need to say puedo).

Answer 2

'Puedo participar' means 'I can participate' so if you just wanted 'I participate' then you can go with 'participo'.

I´m curious if a native will look at ¨actividades escolares¨ as School Activities, or Academic Activities, which might be viewed slightly differently.

Actividades escolares as school activities works for me (but I'm not a native speaker). If I was talking about academic I'd use académico.

Answer 3

You might want to insert a muchas if you´re trying to be fairly literal, but it looks pretty good.

Answer 4

So. would native speakers not differentiate between the adjectives académicas y escolares?

I ask only because my first presentation and paper this semester were about an academic exchange year abroad I´d done some (OK, MANY) years ago, and my professor was rather adamant about not liking my tentative title ¨Un año de intercambio académico¨ and instead advising escolar.

So, what is best, and how are they different?

thanks roger

I afraid that it would be too complicated to explain, but those are certainly different words, just happens that they can be used as synonyms some times, some times not, depending on the background's concept or the context. - -cae-, Dec 11, 2012
