Mucho gusto. Me llamo Juan. Tengo dieciséis años. Soy trabajador. Saco buenas notas. Hay muchas actividades en Central Catholic. Por ejemplo, juego al ajedrez. A mi familia le gusta Central Catholic (mi escuela). También, hay muchas clases. Mi favorita es la clase de español. Tenemos fiestas.

I made some corrections- I am at an intermediate level and sometimes make errors. Others might choose other aspects to alter, I tried to stick mostly to how you wrote it.

You could say mi nombre es Juan, but it is a little less natural. I changed to saco buenas notas just because it is how I say it (I get good grades), yours might be okay. Keep in mind fiestas are parties. Keep in mind how important the accent on año is- otherwise you imply an anatomic unlikelihood.

Hi, Bosque, I have a funny joke about "año" but it's too long for a comment. By the way, "calificaciones" is the word used among my Mexican stuednts. - Daniela2041, Jan 1, 2015

The "fiestas" that High School kids have in their classes are usually food fiestas where the kids get to munch out on ethnic food. - Daniela2041, Jan 1, 2015

Thanks, Daniela, it has been a long time since I was in a school. :) - bosquederoble, Jan 1, 2015
