Good job, you wrote a word very colloquial, and the word attracted me attention, because the word is very used on my country, but the word are bad said, it isn't the way to say correctly the sentence, the word is Parada de autobus, and I did a few change and I wrote Estacion de autobus, I believe you should to change the word for Estacion instead of Parada.

a. we never learned aún...
b. we learned bus stop as la parada de autobús, even though you use estación
c. this I accidentally wrote it. :P

[CrOtALiTo]

Yes, for that reason, you only are using the words, you have learnt in your Spanish class, but as in the English there are words for each sentence or phrase in the Spanish also there are words for each sentence or phrase, and it commonly is user mostly the word Estacion than Parada, because Parada other country on mean other thing, and believe me, Parada is a rudeness on my country.

[Jessica]

okay, but la parada de autobús is what we will use, okay? it is our vocabulary and Sra. taught us that, not with estación. and how is parada rude in your country?

[CrOtALiTo]

Yes, it's rudeness on my country, well, if you want use the word Parada Ok, but then you wanna speak like that you teacher right, you must follow my hints, because I know Spanish, I'm speaker native Spanish.

[literacola]

jchen, I think crotalito is simply telling you to be aware of cultural differences. There are plenty of words you will learn in Spanish classes that really cant be said around native speakers from certain countries.

For instance, I learned the word coger in my Spanish class and used it in class all the time, but I would never use the word around most of the native speakers here in California because a good majority of them happen to be from Mexico and they simply interpret the word in a different (vulgar) way.

Also, I doubt that your Spanish teacher would mind if you used a different word that she hasn´t yet taught you. She might actually be impressed by your willingness to learn outside of the classroom. If it comes up on a test, she might want you to use the original word, but on homework and in speech I doubt she would be offended if you used la estación instead of la parada.

I think Crotalitos point is that you should keep these cultural differences in mind. In the end, you are learning the language to communicate with other Spanish speakers, and it is best that you use a vocabulary that won´t offend certain individuals.

[Jessica]

yeah I know that thanks :)

[CrOtALiTo]

Exactly, Jchen, Literacola is right, really he has explained you of the best way, I don't want the bad for you Jchen, I only want, you learn the language of the best way, but if you don't want anymore my hints, you telling me please, because it's important for me.

[Jessica]

no it's okay I still want your hints

[Rusty]

One thing you should know is that Crotalito didn't mean aún lado. He meant a un lado. This is something you've been taught (at least it appears in another homework post).

[Jessica]

oh ok. but in the book, it's al lado, not a un lado
