Words In A Letter

Since Spanish is not my original tongue, I do not always get to practice it in the many ways it is supposed to be practiced.

I saw this on You Tube. It is someone writing in Spanish. It's like a miracle, because I never see anyone writing in Spanish, not even the Spanish.

Mostly, the signs I see on the shops are in Spanish.

So, I thought I should practice writing in Spanish with mistakes and all.
Even if I make mistakes at first, it will help me figure out where I am.

I think I can predict that most of my mistakes will be in the grammatical portion of the sentences. Remembering the words in the past tense and future tense may be difficult also.

I was great at spelling it and also speaking it in the past. I haven't had much practice there either, except when this blog needs to be written. :)

Listening to it is fun also, when one gets a chance.

The writing, though, that will be the most difficult part, because no one around me currently uses Spanish. Sometimes, you find a person on facebook or twitter, but that, too, is rare.

The Spanish people I know in this neighborhood are always working. I don't think they have time to write Spanish or even read letters for me.

I guess I am lucky there is the internet for everyone.


Assignment for everyone:

Translate what this writer is writing. Then, write a letter to someone in Spanish.
Write the words that you don't know in English or in any other language you know.
Then later when you have time, work with someone else or pick up a dictionary or other grammar text to make additions or corrections.

Save your original document, so you can see the difference between the two letters.
