Being the language lovers that we are... A place to talk about, or write in languages other than Spanish and English.

Walang anoman (this is not so easy).

Please remember not to transpose the syllables: ma-ba-los not ma-la-bos
Yes, Dios mabalos rhymes better too.

No big deal Making mistakes is part of learning. I do this a lot too in Spanish despites the help of google translate. Although I try to construct the sentences in Spanish myself first then when I really can't, I consult the Spanish dictionary, Spanish Conjugator and Google Translate. It's a lot of work for me right now to be able to construct one or two Spanish sentences.But I hope it will get better

I avoid google translator, I prefer a dictionary and sometimes I write a sentence in English in Google to study the results.

Google translator writes perfect nonsense.
