This is a game where we can practice our Spanish and English, but still have fun at the same time!

The rules are very simple and remain more or less exactly as RelaxingCup designed them and H C A student continued.

  • Post your comments/titles/captions to this picture (both in Spanish and English) and vote for the responses you like. The best answer will be chosen soon on the basis of the greatest number of votes as well as the language accuracy.

  • Pon tu comentario/ título/ pie de foto a esta imagen (ambos en español y inglés) y vota por las respuestas que te gusten. La mejor respuesta será seleccionada en un rato, tanto por la cantidad de votos como por la corrección en el uso del idioma.

  • Please, give everyone a chance and post one or so captions and no photos.

  • Por favor, deja que todos tengan una oportunidad y pon más o menos una respuesta, sin fotos. .

Please encourage everyone with a vote. smile

. .Please help each other with your English/Spanish sentences. And above all, have fun!

Podría ser más arriesgado, pero las ganancias podrían ser mayores también

It could be riskier, but the gains could be greater too.

Hi Daniela :) I love that song La Bamba :) - FELIZ77, Sep 15, 2015
How should this be phrased so that you wouldn't feel the necessity to add 'sic'? - roveg, Sep 15, 2015
"Un poco de gracia" The song was sung as I have written it above. There was more incorrect Spanish in it. - Daniela2041, Sep 15, 2015
Thank you very much. The answer to one question breeds a dozen more... - roveg, Sep 15, 2015

Por supuesto que de este modo adelgazar es mucho más seguro.

Of course in this mode the loss of weight is much more secure.

Muy bien, pero que va a decir el inspector de salud público cuando te vea sin casco , sin chaqueta de defensa corporal, y de verás, sin seguros..

It's all very well, but what is the Health and Safety Inspector going to say when he sees you without a helmet, without a body protector , and truth be told, without insurance...

Body protector? How do you say that? I've looked for ages but I can' find one to buy even.. - annierats, Sep 15, 2015
Annie, can you think of another word for a body protector in English, please, or try to describe exactly what you mean by body protector and perhaps we could help? - FELIZ77, Sep 16, 2015
Ah, you have them when riding x-country for example, they are either inflatable and blow up, to protect you if you fall, or are made like a rigid shell, for example for racing, to protect fallen jockeys from being kicked by galloping horses, whilst rolli - annierats, Sep 16, 2015

Voy a pedir a mi secretaria para agregar esto a la larga lista de cosas que no puedo hacer. ¿Qué? Nunca aprendí a escribir, tampoco.

I will ask my secretary to add this to the long list of things that I can not do. What? I never learned to type, either.

This is a 'cool' way to dance yourself to fitness! (to dance to get fit!) I think the black guy is dancing to some lively music ....could be Michael Jackson's song: "Don't stop 'til you get enough!" lol smile

¡Esta es una manera muy de la onda: bailar para ponerse en forma! Creo que el hombre negro en la foto está bailando al compás de alguna canción alegre ...puede ser que sea la canción de Michael Jackson: "Don't stop til you get enough!"

Corrijan mi español si es necesario, por favor smile

Editor's note/s: 1. Here is a link to Michael's song with lyrics and English with Spanish translation underneath! wink enter link description here

I have also found another different version of the lyrics to the same song but I have not yet been successful in finding a native hispanic person singing this song!

Good, Feliz. In this country it is more politically correct to call a black person an African American, Afro-American or Black American, but we are not sure if this is from America. Just a little info for you. :) - sanlee, Sep 16, 2015
Hi Sanlee, I have had many friends who are black and they are not into this political Correctness stuff, so they have no problem being referred to as black After all, how the heck are we supsoed to know if this guy is originally AfroAmerican or some other - FELIZ77, Sep 16, 2015

No, no, no- te dije que si quieres ser bailarín, es necesario entrenarte usando una caminadora- pero esto es para mejorar la resistencia- no deberías bailar mientras usarla la usas.

No, no, no- I told you that if you want to be a dancer, it is necessary to train using a treadmill- but that is to improve your stamina- you shouldn’t dance while using it.

Alguien puede perder el equilibrio sobre una cinta de correr, pero no todo el mundo puede encubrirlo con tanto élan.

Anyone can lose their balance on a treadmill, but not everyone can cover it up with such élan.
