Los quien me conocen sabrán porque para mí fue mirando la graduación de mi nieto de la escuela secondaria y llevando a mi esposa y viéndola allá.

Those who know me will know that for me it was watching the graduation of my grandson from high school and taking my wife and watching her there.

Mi esposo y yo tuvimos una noche (toda la noche) primera vez en tres años. ¡Fue maravilloso!

My husband and I had a night (overnight) away first time in three years. It was wonderful!

Do you mean where did we go, Annie? It was a hotel 2 hours drive away (in Nevada) on a river. We swam, met with friends for dinner, then went to see Weird Al Yankovic in concert. Breakfast, then had to hurry home. Rare, but special. :) - Findy, Dec 28, 2015

For me, the highlight of 2015 was when I went on holiday to Italy for the first time! I had never visited Italy before so it was a truly positive and memorable experience! I had also taken seven Italian classes with a native Italian teacher called Chiara through Verbling.com

¡Para mí, la experiencia más destacada (o el plato fuerte) del año 2015 fue cuando fui de vacaciones a Italia por la primera vez!¡Nunca jamás había visitado Italia, por lo tanto fue una experiencia muy positiva y memorable! También, había tomado siete clases de Italiano con una profesora nativa de Italia que se llama, Chiara, por Verbling.com.

Corrijan mi español, si es necesario, por favor smile

Thank you very much for your encouragment, Annie. you are right but I found some sentence constructions in my Oxford English Spanish Dictionary using irse including Me voy a tomar las vacaciones en junio = I am taking my holidays in June. abo:) - FELIZ77, Dec 30, 2015

El acontecimiento más memorable de 2015 para mí fue el viaje que de mi marido y yo hicimos a Budapest en la primavera pasada. Todo era maravilloso, pero uno de los puntos destacados del viaje fue conocer porcupine7 en persona.

The most memorable event of 2015 for me was the trip my husband and I took to Budapest last spring. Everything was wonderful, but one of the high points of the trip was meeting porcupine7 in person.

(I would have sworn that I posted this last night. Did I post it to the wrong thread, I wonder? Tal vez me olvidé de hacer clic en "responder.")

Bueno, el año 2015 ha sido una mezcla, el año de entierros, el año en que empezamos nuestra vida nueva, el año en que se le rompió la pierna a mi marido, el año de máscotas con problemas graves, como la muerte... No sé. Pero ayer celebramos una pequña fiesta en nuestra casa y fue un buen momento. A los españoles les gustan las patatas horneadas, que raro..Y la música..!

Nothing like a simple oven-roast potato.. Never mind the ham, the prawns , the vol au vents, the mushrooms, the salads..

Can you give it a try in Spanish? - Jubilado, Dec 28, 2015
Sure mate. :) - Nickelbackfan1, Dec 28, 2015
Pasar tiempo..( I think, anyway, haciendo el camping) - annierats, Dec 28, 2015
Is that a little better annie? :) - Nickelbackfan1, Dec 28, 2015
I would say: "El tiempo que pasé con la familia y amigos ir de camping / cazar." Maybe a native speaker will clarify. - Jubilado, Dec 29, 2015
Congratulations Jubilado - porcupine7, Dec 29, 2015
Take out the ' me', it is not reflexive, Nickel! Pasar tiempo con la familia y hacer el camping y ir de caza.. - annierats, Dec 29, 2015

Este ha sido un año pleno cambios para mi. Ha sido mi primer año en la universidad y he conocido mucha gente interesante.

This has been a year full of changes for me. It was my first year attending University and I've met many interesting people.

Gracias, amiga. Two small corrections in English: ...a year full of changes "for" me. And: ...attending the university (or just "university", no "to"). - Jubilado, Dec 29, 2015
Yes I would just say "attending University" or " going to University". Well done and the best of luck mate. - ray76, Dec 29, 2015
Querba, I would say: ha sido un año 'pleno" de cambios. I hope this helps :) - FELIZ77, Dec 29, 2015
Thank you for your corrections! - Querba, Dec 29, 2015
Querba, you are welcome, but it should be: pleno DE cambios! You need the word (preposition) "de" here, too, in order to make sense ! ;) - FELIZ77, Dec 30, 2015
.. a mucha gente.. Well done! Congrats and nice to see you here. - annierats, Dec 30, 2015

Still thinking about it mate give me a moment to recall.


I have to copy the sentiments of my dear friend Ian because for me also

just to have managed to get through the year in one piece has been quite

a surprise . While maintaining a mental framework of calm yet expectation,

of acceptance of the status quo, whilst planning and looking forward to

new and exciting adventures in the future .

The help and prayers of friends are invaluable to us all ,I thank them for the

comfort and joy that they afforded me , without which I could not have prevailed.


The quality of mercy is not strained;

It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven

Upon the place beneath. It is twice blest;

It blesseth him that gives and him that takes:

‘T is mightiest in the mightiest; it becomes

The throned monarch better than his crown:

His sceptre shows the force of temporal power,

The attribute to awe and majesty,

Wherein doth sit the dread and fear of kings;

But mercy is above this sceptred sway;

It is enthronèd in the hearts of kings,

It is an attribute to God himself;


William Shakespear

lol The actor Charles Dance is looking very sinister here, Ray. Are you sure he is really supposed to be on the SpanishDict welcoming committee? - FELIZ77, Dec 30, 2015
Feliz, I chose him on purpose to put a little fear into any recalcitrant newbies , isn't he an evil looking guy, but a great actor ,brilliant in the Game of Thrones. - ray76, Dec 30, 2015
Yes, he is a great actor and quite formidable in his appearance I watched him recently on the 3 part serial: And then there were none based on the thriller :by Agatha Christie - FELIZ77, Jan 19, 2016
He played the secretive judge who gave liitle away in teh things he said and did throughout the story I won't say any more in case anyne wants to watch it and him lol - FELIZ77, Jan 19, 2016
