Finalmente!

Finalmente!
 

:(

Fue tan triste. Esperaba toda la mañana para escriber mi introducción. Después, escribí una introducción bien larga, pero demasiado tiempo pasaba y cuando la sometí, fue borrado.

De todos modos, soy norteamericana, vivo en japón. Quiero respasar mi español. Hace muchos años que no lo he usado.

Estoy entusiasmada para recibir sus correcciónes a mi español. Estoy segura que habrá muchos. Sé (está - imperetivo?) estricto por favor.

Nice to meet you all.

Here's what I hope to have written above:
I (it) was so sad. I was waiting all morning to write my introduction. Then, I wrote a quite long introduction, but too much time passed, and when I submitted it, it got erased.

Anyway, I'm American, I live in Japan. I want to brush up my Spanish. It's been many years since I used it.

I'm excited to receive your corrections to my Spanish. I am sure there will be many. Please be strict.

¡Bienvenida a los foros!

How frustrating! Occasionally I have experienced the same problem losing a long post.

I think you write very well for someone who hasn't used Spanish in a long time. I've suggested some corrections; if you have any questions about any of them, ask and someone will be happy to help.

Welcome, marmoset.

Just a little extra correction to those of wrholt's: "respasar" should be "repasar". ;)

Cookies expire in a few minutes, so my own trick for saving a long post is to select and copy the whole message before clicking on "post reply". :)

Welcome Marmoset........your Forum name is familiar to me.....have you been here before? :thinking::thinking:

Nice to have you here!

No, not here. Maybe usingenglish.com or lingforum.com??


What a fantastic compliment wrholt! :) Thank you so much.
I am quite surprised. Online dictionaries rock!

Welcome :)
in which zone of Japan are you living? are they still very hostile to foreigners?

In Hokkaido. I've never met anyone hostile to foreigners. But I've heard that white speakers of English are the best received foreigners, but I haven't really experienced the treatment of other foreigners first hand. Sorry if that is not a useful answer.

The people in my medium-sized town are some of the nicest and most helpful people that I have ever met.

When and where did you live in Japan? What bad experience did you have?

Mmm, I bid you welcome.
I didn't see around here.

I hope your stay in the forums, it'll be enjoyable.

Nice to meet you.

Best Regards.

bienvenido, Marmoset
