There's an 'Accents' drop-down menu above the text input box. You can use it for the special characters you'll need to type in Spanish.

Pay attention to spelling and punctuation.

Look very carefully at the verbs and how they were used. You used a mix of present tense, the ir a + infinitive future tense, the preterite tense, and the imperative mood. A lot of time needs to be spent learning how the tenses are formed and used, so don't worry that you don't understand everything at first.

Avoid feeling that a word-for-word translation is required. That's seldom the case.

great thanks for that advice i will look in to it. i didnt see the drop down list i know now for next time, if i was to say those sentences to a spanish person would they understand it?

[hermit]

Hi fletcher - You would be understood, and they would probably say "Ah"
and repeat your phrase in proper form before responding.

I think I wouldn't understand "son tú desde aquí". :thinking: :)

[hermit]

Right Irmamar - it's a direct translation from English, and as is often the case, it doesn't translate to proper Spanish...

You got a lot wrong - but you got a lot right too! You've got a lot of things mixed up as Rusty said. With a little more time and practice you should get it sorted out. My advice would be to go back and practice these things more before going on to do new stuff. You've got at least three tenses here and you've only just started!!
