Question

Hello, I have written an article about Russel Wilson and have translated it into Spanish. Could you please check my Spanish for errors and fix them?

This is what I want to say The Seahawks obtained Russel Wilson in the third round in 2012. He is a quarterback. The Seahawks lost to the falcons. After, the Falcons went to the Superbowl XLVII. But Russel Wilson is a hard worker. He is humble. He went to the Superbowl XLVII and he studied the teams. Wilson wants to win in the next Superbowl. He practices a lot.

This is what I attempted to make to my understanding....

Los Seahawks obtuvo Russel Wilson en tercera ronda en doce mil doce. El es un quarterback. Los Seahawks perdió a los Falcons. Después, los falcons fue el Superbowl XLVII. Pero, Russel Wilson es un trabajo muy duro. También el es humilde. El fue el Superbowl XLVII y el estudió los equipos. Wilson quiere a ganar en el proximo Superbowl . El practicó mucho.

Any way help would be appreciated. As I am a beginner, I would appreciate the corrections being made as simple as possible. Thanks

Well I will give you a vote for filling out your profile . Thanks mate. - ray76, Jan 15, 2016

Answer 1

This is no way to address a language learning site. we observe common courtesies here. You could have (and should have) said:

"Hello, I have written an article about Russel Wilson and have translated it into Spanish. Could you please check my Spanish for errors and fix them?"

And don't tell us how to do it. you could request that we keep it simple, like:

"As I am a beginner, I would appreciate the corrections being made as simple as possible. Thanks"

I am a Spanish teacher and love to help students but none of us like to feel that we are being pushed into doing something. A little change in attitude on your part will gain a bunch of cooperation on our part.

im sorry I didn't mean to come off like that. This is assignment is due very soon and I was writing very quick. Could you still help me, please? - Hoyobro, Jan 14, 2016

Yep, give me a few minutes. - Daniela2041, Jan 15, 2016

And many thanks for changing your question. I see you can be very nice when you want tol :) - Daniela2041, Jan 15, 2016

Answer 2

I'm going to start by copying your post then put any corrections in bold.

This is what I want to say The Seahawks obtained Russel Wilson in the third round in 2012. He is a quarterback. The Seahawks lost to the falcons. After, the Falcons went to the Superbowl XLVII. But Russel Wilson is a hard worker. He is humble. He went to the Superbowl XLVII and he studied the teams. Wilson wants to win in the next Superbowl. He practices a lot.

Los Seahawks obtuvieron a Russel Wilson en la tercera ronda en doce mil doce. El es (I deleted "un") quarterback. Los Seahawks perdieron a los Falcons. Después, los Falcons fueron al Superbowl XLVII. Pero, Russel Wilson es muy trabajador. También (I omitted él) es humilde. El fue al Superbowl XLVII y el estudió a los equipos. Wilson quiere ("a" omitted) ganar en el proximo Superbowl . El practica mucho.

How's this? - Daniela2041, Jan 15, 2016

Go hawks! - bosquederoble, Jan 15, 2016

Well, you wiped out a space between practica and mucho, but otherwise it reads well for me, not that that proves anything- but you fixed everything I saw and more. :) - bosquederoble, Jan 15, 2016

Ah, you fixed it, never mind. :) - bosquederoble, Jan 15, 2016

Yes, I do a lot of editing. Sometimes it's to fix typos, other times to change a word here and there to make things clearer. - Daniela2041, Jan 15, 2016

Up and beyond my F Y S, very good of you , amazing that the usual suspects never bother when a genuine young person with a filled out profile asks a question.¿Porque? - ray76, Jan 15, 2016

You should have seen the discourteous way that he originally posted. After I told him about how we operate, he deleted his discourteous remarks and posted very nicely and courteously. We Spanish teachers do have a way. - Daniela2041, Jan 15, 2016

As to why the other members do not respond, maybe they feel that I did a good job on the answer. - Daniela2041, Jan 15, 2016

If I am one of the "usual suspects" as I noted in the comment, I saw no way of improving her answer, except to cheer for the team. I don't post just to post, I reserve that for the comments. :) - bosquederoble, Jan 15, 2016
