English Student,

Even though your typing was not perfect it was perfectly understandable. If you speak as good as you type your message will get through. Wait until you try listening to a native southern english speaker, we barely understand each other.

the term "basically" is not the same as "for example". They aren't interchangeable and if you did, it would make the sentence incorrect.

Esto no es correcto. En inglés los adjetivos de idiomas y nacionalidades se escriben con mayúsculas sin excepción:
I am French.
I speak French.
My French teacher is not very good.
M. Sarkozy is the French president.
French is related to Spanish.

Y en espanol los nombres de idiomas siempre se escriben in minusculas cuando son adjectivos o sustantivos.

el es japones
me gusta la comida japonesa.

Practice English
 
I would be happy to speak with you in English as well. I am teaching myself Spanish at home so maybe we could help each other.

I saw your e-mail address. If you say it's okay, I will e-mail you.

Thanks,

You might go ahead and try emailing him if you want. I'm not sure what he's up to these days. He hasn't been on the forums for awhile, so it might be awhile before he sees this post.

I want to improve...
 
Thanks, I need to remember to look at the date when I'm reading past postings. They're new to me, but not to everyone else. he he

I also just discovered that there can be multiple pages to a thread. Oops.

:rolleyes:

He he, no problem.

If a thread's old, I don't see a problem with responding to it, as long as it's still relevant.

What other things besides nombres de idiomas are not capitalized?

Hola rico gringo,

Si no es molestia, me gustaría corregir lo que escribiste.

Ten un buen día.

P.D. It would be a little better to address 'us' instead of 'you (informally)' in your post. (Use 'ustedes' instead of 'tu'.)
