Tengo un propuesto.

Podemos elegir una tema cada semana para charlar.

Podria ser algo muy facil or mas dificil y podemos comentar a nuestro nivel.

Si hacemos errores lo gente que sabe mas puede corregirnos.

¿Para empezamos hay alguien que quiere hablar de Carnaval?

A mi, me gusta mucho la musica y tambien el ambiente de fiestas en las calles, pero todavia no he ido a Carnaval en Santa Cruz y no puedo este año por que tengo una hija de seis meses .Sera demasiado ruidoso y demasiado tarde pero espero que la proxima año iremos alli.

Para mi tambien es loco que el juzgar ha dicho no a Carnaval y estoy feliz que ahora va a ocurrir.

Mi español no es bien entonces dejo la conversacion aqui por hoy.

I see my idea has gone down a storm by the number of replies.

Either my Spanish is too bad or too good and I think it is probably the first so I will explain in English just in case my bad spanish put anyone off.

Anyone fancy having a chat in Spanish on the forum? How about we pick a different subject each week or month and discuss it at whatever level we are at. I mentioned picking Cranaval for a starting subject and then babbled about it a bit.

Please respond some one.

Muchas Gracias. Cuando hablo del futuro ó el pasado siempre hago errores. Pero en diez o veinte años mas quisiera ver el TV ó escuchar la radio sin promblemas. Es bueno tener sueños.

Jenny, entiendo que tu trabajo es en traduciendo y no quiero ser cara dura. Entonces no pasa nada si no correges mi errores por que me ayuda mucho solo escribiendo y voy a mejorar despacio.

Hasta pronto.

Hay alguien con otro puntas de vista de Carnaval.

I am not sure on this but I think that trabajo is a noun and therefore as it is not describing something the gender of whose work it is therefore won't be applicable but that is just a guess.

trabajo is a verb from the word trabajar....to work...or to labour...

I as a female trabaja....and you would therefore trabajo....

In the sentence mannhoole wrote he used trabajo as a noun: tu trabajo es traducir = your job is translating.

If it were used as a verb it would be Jenny trabaja de traductora or tu trabajas de traductora (or ella trabaja de traductora).

So you are both right. Star pupils Wink

No Problems Stripps I am always getting things wrong so it wouldn't be a big suprise.

It's half the fun making mistakes.
