My english translation:
I wake up at 4 in the morning and I go to work at 5:30 in the morning. I work with juvenile delinquents at a detention. My work keeps me very busy. I want to learn spanish so I can understand it more better. Sooner or later I want I be able to take a test for spanish for my job. It is very difficult to understand but to learn spanish is fun.

I hope that is right if not please help me find where I need to improve.

Answer 1

Answer 3

You are correct James in how I was trying to learn.

Answer 4

I was trying to say Understand spanish better. I want to learn spanish to I can understand it more better.

Answer 5

Oh, I didn't even remember the English text. Doesn't make much sense...but anyway, yes, it must be lo then.

Answer 6

No, she was talking about Spanish, not the delinquents. She said "I want to learn spanish so I can understand it more better [sic]." The "it" makes it clear.

Answer 7

Answer 8

Yeah I wasn't sure if entederlos or entenderlo because it was singular and I thought los was plural. So I put entenderlo thinking I was talking about one subject not plural. I see your translation of "Quiero estudiar español para(poder) entenderlo mejor" It makes sense to me. Thanks for your help.

Answer 9

Thanks for your help extra opinions is grateful and helpful for learning.

Answer 10

espanol asi puedo entiendolo(') mas entenderlos mejor

I think "entenderlos" should be "entenderlo," as it refers to the antecedent español.

And wouldn't it be better to say this as "Quiero estudiar español para (poder) entenderlo mejor"?

And as for "I want I be able to take a test for Spanish for my job," I think she means "Quiero ser capaz de aprobar un examen de español para mi trabajo."

Answer 11

Yes, go with Dunia's improvements. it's always good to get several opinions.

Answer 12

Heidita, "quiero poder" is a little redundant, don't you think'.
Quiero hacer un examen
Me gustaría hacer un examen
"Tarde o temprano" is a very literal translation.
I would say: "algún día"

Answer 13

Gracias! I see where you made the corrections and wrote it down to reference and see how I can improve! It really helps to do it in español with a english translation and that way I can improve my sentence structures.
