Film project. Help!

Film project. Help!

5
votes

Hello! I wondered if someone could help me with a project in school. So I have this film project where I´m going to present myself, my family, my friends, my neighborhood and one hobby.

I probably going to post some sentences over the next few days, and if someone could help me I will be very thankful.

Freeletics es un tipo de deporte o actividad que usar solamente peso del cuerpo. (Freeletics is a type of sport or activity where you only one bodyweight) Is that correct?

****Freeletics es mi favorito actividad que me gusta hacer en mi tiempo libre.** (Freeletics is my favorite activity to do in my spare time).

Mi deporte favorito se llama salto de esquí, pero debido a un accidente en el dos mil once (2011), no saltar nunca más. Ahora, me gusta ver fútbol y entrenar solo.

(My all time? favorite sport is calles ski jumping, but due to an accident in 2011, I don't jump anymore. Now I like to watch football and exercise alone.

Since we help teach both Spanish and English here, I am going to help with the English you posted:

You wrote: "Hello! I wondered if someone could help me with a project in school. So I have this film project where I´m going to present myself,

I would suggest: "Hello! I was wondering if someone could help me with a Spanish project I have been assigned in my class. It is a film project in which I will present myself...." I changed "wondered" to "was wondering" because it is one way to politely suggest someone's help, "wondered" is not wrong it just sounds less polite. I added "Spanish" because you are not fluent in either Spanish or English and even though it is clear that you want help in Spanish, it focuses the reader on what kind of help you need. I changed the next sentence to make it more formal. You do not need "So" (a conversational filler word) or "this" (a demonstrative adjective).

I will just change a few things in these sentences:

"I am probably going to post some sentences over the next few days, and if someone could help me I will be very grateful thankful."

"Freeletics is a type of sport or activity where you only use one body weight."

"My all time? favorite sport is calles ski jumping - My all time favorite sport is called ski jumping*

It took me some minutes to write all this so someone else may have posted a similar answer. I know you want help in Spanish, but I will leave that to a more advanced or fluent member.

This is a very polite and clear post. Thank you for using the forum.

**Soy un madridista y un orgulloso Oviedistas. Oviedo es un club que soy un accionista. ** ( I want to write : I am a madridista and a proud Oviedista (Real Oviedo supporter). Real Oviedo is a club I am shareholder in). And I´m also going to talk about my brother who is three years younger than me, but we are also born on the same day. Is this a good sentence? (Mi hermano se llama Vegard. En realidad estamos nacidos el mismo día, pero él es tres años más joven.)

Another opinion from a non-native.

Soy un madridista y un orgulloso Oviedistas. Oviedo es un club que soy un accionista.

Normally if not further qualified, what you are is without an article, and you need a better transition between soy and club, and no s on oviedista if singular. Assuming the vocabulary is correct:

Soy madridista y orgulloso Oviedista. Oviedo es un club en (el) que soy accionista.

Mi hermano se llama Vegard. En realidad estamos nacidos el mismo día, pero él es tres años más joven.)

I might write (the first bit of course is fine):

La verdad es que nacimos el mismo día de años differentes; él es tres años más joven.

The change at the start is just the way I speak, some of my suggestions are stylistic.

I am an intermediate level learner, not native, and only give my opinion in the absence of native help on this thread.

@siempremadrileña, I'm not sure madridista exists.. Ok, I was wrong, you're a football fan, I apologize.

(Freeletics is a type of sport or activity where you only one bodyweight) Is that correct?

Freeletics es una actividad// programa de entrenamiento intenso// deporte solo con tu propio peso.// en que se usa solo tu propio peso.

Mi deporte favorito se llama el salto de esquí, pero debido a un accidente en dos mil once (2011), no podré saltar nunca más. Ahora, me gusta ver el fútbol y entrenar solo// sola if female. .

Soy un madridista y un orgulloso Oviedistas. Oviedo es un club que soy un accionista.

Soy un madridista y un Oviedista orgulloso. Oviedo es un club en cual soy accionista.

Mi hermano se llama Vegard. En realidad estamos nacidos el mismo día, pero él es tres años más joven.

Mi hermano se llama Vegard. Nacimos en realidad el mismo día, pero él tres años antes.

Note: In English we say "to be" born, in Spanish it is just one verb nacer. So we were born is in the preterite.

Appreciate all the answers so far smile

How do I finish this phrase in Spanish?

**Soy un madridista y un orgulloso Oviedistas. Oviedo es un club que soy un accionista. **

( I want to write : I am a madridista and a proud Oviedista (Real Oviedo supporter). Real Oviedo is a club I am shareholder in).

And I´m also going to talk about my brother who is three years younger than me, but we are also born on the same day. Is this a good sentence?

(Mi hermano se llama Vegard. En realidad estamos nacidos el mismo día, pero él es tres años más joven.)

Thanks!

Last question :

How do you say/write " did you take my hat?".

I am going to have it as a caption over a picture.
