spanish tuition in exchange for english tips

[johnny_bdn]

I'd like to improve my english, so i offer my spanish knowledge to anyone interested.

Any kind of help will be welcome!

Cheers.

Are you from Spain, because I don't understand what you're saying.

I like to talk to you in English, because I'm not good at it either. So tell me something about your interests and I'll tell you mine, okey? That's how we can help eachother. And if any teacher has some comment it would be also much helpful!

Cheers

OK- here's a little comment- don't use 'much' with an adjective like 'helpful'; use 'very'or something instead.:lol:

 

[johnny_bdn]

I agree with you about that speaking english is the way of helping eachother, i just was offering my help for someone who could have doubts with the spanish, as an addition, that's all..

What do you think about what had happened recently in Madrid? Isn`t it terrible?

this world is turning crazy!!!

It's absolutely terrible. It beggars belief.

It really does, who could ever think of such a terrible act. Those people are really crazy!!
If you do such things you must be!
In Dutch you would say:
'Er zit een steekje bij ze los'
wich means:
'They have a screw loose'
It's an expression for:
They are really nuts.

Do you think it was the craxy party of Osama Bin Laden?

 

[Tdol]

We also say 'have a screw loose' in English. At the moment it's popular to use expressions with 'short of', like he's 'a sandwich short of a picnic.'

About Madrid, these are very strange days we are living.

 

[sanny]

And how can you say: short of, in other words, because I don't really understand it...

Say: "I have quite a lot to learn." (Possibly quiet was a typo.

I also think what happened in Spain was terrible. (How could it not be?) I believe someone there said, "How could a human being do such a thing" or words very similar to that. I share that sentiment.

 

[Sophie des Cartes]

Yes, it's awfull what happened in Madrid. Terrorism is such a strange thing.
I hope for you, Johnny_bdn that you don't live near Madrid.

I'm afraid I can't help you with your English 'cause I'm learning it too. But I'm interested in Spanish.
How do you say:

'My name is....'
'I live in...'
'I'm ... years old'
'I can't speak Spanish very good'

and how do you count from one to ten?

Well, thanks in advance.

 

[Tdol]

And how can you say: short of, in other words, because I don't really understand it...

His ten cents short of a dollar.
He's a sandwich short of a picnic.
etc

This means he's a bit stupid. ;-)

In English we also say that person has a screw loose.

Yes, they do think Al Qaeda might have been at least partly responsible for the bombings in Madrid.

 

[Tdol]

The press here are quite sure that it wasn't ETA now.

Hi

'My name is....'
'I live in...'
'I'm ... years old'
'I can't speak Spanish very good'

and how do you count from one to ten?

I am also from Spain (Madrid) but I am currently studying in Denmark.
Anyway, I´ll answer your questions

'My name is....' --> Mi nombre es ....
'I live in...' ---> (Yo) vivo en .....
'I'm ... years old' ---> (Yo) tengo .... años
'I can't speak Spanish very good' ---> Oops, I think you made a mistake. I would have said 'I can't speak Spanish very well' or 'My Spanish is not very good' (I don't know if I'm right :wink: ) Anyway, you can say "Mi español no es muy bueno" or "(Yo) no hablo español muy bien".

and how do you count from one to ten?
That's it: uno dos tres cuatro cinco seis siete ocho nueve y diez.

What I´ve written between parentheses is usually omitted.

ByE!

Yes, you are right. About the English, that is. I can't comment on the Spanish. :wink:

Hey! Now you are a teacher of two languages.
