Game: Christmas Tribute

Although it's not the true purpose of Christmas, the topic of Christmas gifts is a great way to practice Spanish. Here is how to play this game:

  1. Type in either what you want for Christmas or have gotten for Christmas (some of use might have gotten early gifts from someone).

  2. Translate into Spanish.

  3. Post a picture of what you want (just so everyone understands).

  4. As you get more gifts, enter them here. You can submit as many entries as you want,it is vocabulary practice after all.

Example:

Me gustaría que el juego del Skyrim por Navidad -- I would like the game Skyrim for Christmas.

Muy bien, permiteme la corrección "Me gustaría tener el juego del Skyrim por navidad" ; ) - Neox, Dec 23, 2013
We call them ' presents' rather than tributes.. Tributes are what you say about the dead, for example, after i've killed myself, rollerskating into a bus.. - annierats, Dec 23, 2013
I just finished a Hunger Games book, so I'm a little bit stuck on the word "Tribute" - 00ffada9, Dec 23, 2013

Aún no he recibido nada pero tengo la esperanza de un regalo de unos patines en línea. I haven't had anything yet, but I hope for a gift of some rollerblades.

Estoy emocionado de utilizar mi nuevo auricular con un accesorio de micrófono! ¡No temporizador de lavandería se escuchará a través de Skype o Vocaroo.com otra vez!

Sabía que nadie me va a comprar nada. Carcajada! Así que me compré una Surface computadora. Sonrisa!

I knew that nobody will buy me anything. Loud laugh! So I bought me a Surface computer. Smile!
