Very good!

Part 1:

Ella va los viernes por la mañana y después va (nadar / ir) de compras.
This is like saying: "She goes on Friday's morning and then goes shooping."
Ella nada los viernes por la mañana y después va de compras.
This is like saying: "She swims on Friday's morning and then goes shooping."

Part 2:

1. When you reffer to Carolina I'm almost sure you want to make it not too formal, just normal, so instead of using 'usted' (hace) maybe it's better to use 'tú/vos' (haces):
Que haces -tú...
en vez de: Qué hace -usted...

6. Better to say "¿Qué hace Santiago para tener buena salud?
" than "Qué Santiago hace..."

Goodbye.

I'm not really sure. I think it depends on how well your Chinese is. as for me, my Chinese needs to be improved.

This is a kanji:

It means 'water':

Quote:
Los kanji (漢字, kanji?, literalmente «carácter Han») son los caracteres chinos utilizados en la escritura de la lengua japonesa.

Los kanji son utilizados para expresar sólo conceptos, a diferencia de su uso en el chino, donde pueden ser también utilizados en su carácter fonético.
A un kanji corresponde un significado y se usa como determinante de la raíz de la palabra; las derivaciones, conjugaciones y accidentes se expresan mediante el uso de kana (en especial de hiragana) con el nombre de okurigana.
De Wikipedia

Es decir, cuando lees algo japones, generalmente lees tres silabarios: dos fonéticos como el nuestro {uno para palabras nacionales(hiragana), otro para extranjeras(katakana)} y otro simbolico/conceptual(kanji). Se combinan los tres. Si contamos que aveces se utiliza romaji (letras romanas), se podría decir que son utilizados cuatro. Pero tres son iguales fonéticamente así que no hay inconveniente.

Los kanjis tienen generalmente dos acepciones fonéticas, dependiendo de como se hallen en la oración (solos o combinados) y muchos significados.

For example, here is a more detail info of the kanji i have putted(how can I say it without using 'putted'?):

Sorry for make it so long, I love this topic.

thanks for the info and you can't use putted. Instead, it is better to put provided. No such thing as putted
