HI

[geeper]

Hello everyone.

I'm going back to college (at 40 years old) and I'm taking a Spanish class. I'm very excited about it. This forum looks like a great place to learn - everyone seems so helpful. Hopefully, I'll spend lots of time here.

I know bits and pieces of Spanish already but have trouble putting sentences together. That's what I hope to learn in class (and here).

¡Hola, geeper, y bienvenido! :)

I know what you mean, it's usually easier to read, or at least understand small parts of sentences, but it's much harder to write a sentence yourself.

Welcome:thumbsup:
You stole my line, Elaina.;)
Geeper, I love your avatar, too. It's cute.
A mí también me gusta tu avatar. Es una monada.
Crotalito tiene razón cuando te dice que leas los mensajes en español, pero también trata de lanzarte aunque cometas errores o sólo escribas frases cortitas.
Do read a lot as Crotalito told you, but start writing as soon as possible even if you think your sentences are too simple or full of mistakes. We learn by making mistakes.:)

Brace, refuerzo.

Why did you ask me it.?

The word baby I used when I feel afecttion for someone.

[Elaina]

Oh I wasn't referring to the "baby" part, I was wondering about "brace". If what you meant was "refuerzo" then I would have used reinforcement or support. I don't think brace is appropriate in this context.

[María José]

María José, thanks for your brace baby.

Regards.
I was going to ask too, but thanks to your exchange with Elaina I understand now. What you meant was something like: Thanks for the back up, baby.
Am I right?:)

Crotalito un brace es frenillo. Tambien significa apoyo, pero un apoyo fisical como en un puente o como los aparatos que ponen en las piernas
de gente que sufren de polio. En este caso (apoyo en la forma de ayudo)
se puede usar support.
