Hi Mike. Glad you've joined in. There are learners on this site that are also learning English spelling and grammar, so it's really helpful to use proper spelling, captialization and punctuation. Thanks. Looking forward to your participation. - katydew, Sep 28, 2013

Answer 1

I would suggest telling her that your Spanish is not very strong and that it would help you a lot if she would not use slang or text abbreviations.

This is what I did when my girlfriend and I first got together. I could not understand anything in her texts. After she started typing correctly I understood a lot more.

Answer 2

Welcome to SD Mike, we'll look forward to seeing you around.

I'm afraid that text message doesn't look much like Spanish. Do you have anything else to go on?

well i guess it could just be a typo.... but one of her spanish relatives liked the comment so i figured it must be slang she also said this right after which is how i know its a headache or so i think .. " Hay DIos que dolor de cabeza tan hpt" - MikeLife, Sep 28, 2013

Sorry I'm not much help then, be sure to let us know when you find out, or perhaps a Columbian member here will be able to help. - Kiwi-Girl, Sep 28, 2013

ok her little brother was there he knows more english than her so "hpt a seg" means something similar to f you headache. she has a hangover i know that already but maybe this could help someone else. - MikeLife, Sep 28, 2013
