Estamos en el ecuador del curso


ROBINDESBOIS July 02, 2009 05:47 PM

Estamos en el ecuador del curso
 
Esta expresión quiere decir estar en la mitad del curso, como se diría en inglés?

ROBINDESBOIS July 03, 2009 01:30 AM

We are in the halfway point of the course. How do you like that?

Elaina July 03, 2009 06:24 AM

Halfway through the course?

Estamos a mediación del curso. (sounds better to me)

My :twocents:

poli July 03, 2009 06:52 AM

We're at midpoint of the course. Once you get past the midpoint you can say: we're over the hump.
If the course you are referring to is related to school, you can say:
we are at midterm.

Tomisimo July 06, 2009 01:10 PM

I agree with Poli and Elaina.

We're at midterm.
We're halfway through the course.

CrOtALiTo July 06, 2009 07:07 PM

What does midterm mean?

And also I need to know the mean of the word halfway.

And if you can give me examples using those words.

I appreciate your help.

Rusty July 06, 2009 09:04 PM

These sentences are translations of the sentence in the title of the thread, and are good examples.

So, midterm and halfway through the course both mean el ecuador del curso.

CrOtALiTo July 07, 2009 09:27 AM

Then I can use midterm in this sentence.


I'm midterm Carmen City and Campeche.

Estoy entre ciudad del Carmen y Campeche.


I'm not sure if can use the word Midterm and halfway to say entre. it like with the use of the months, when you need to say the English's class is entre Marzo y Abril.


I appreciate your help.

Rusty July 07, 2009 10:11 AM

The word midterm and the phrase halfway through the course are translations of the title in the thread ONLY.

To say that you're located in between two places, you say "I'm halfway between Carmen City and Campeche."

CrOtALiTo July 07, 2009 04:20 PM

Then needly, I have to use the word halfway to write the last phrase.

Then if I want to say.

I'm between halfway your house and the store. It's correct this way.


I understood of your phrase that I have to use the word halfway or midterm depending of the phrase.

I understood from what you wrote that I have to use the word halfway or midterm depending on the phrase.

Corrections above.
Use halfway between, not between halfway.

Thank you for the corrections.

alcanzar el ecuador del curso seria we have reached the midpoint of the course?

poli July 13, 2009 10:02 AM

Regarding a course, you can say: at midterm
Your can use midterm for pregnancy also (mitad del embarazo=midterm pregnancy).

ROBINDESBOIS July 14, 2009 02:03 AM

yes but an intensive course of 30 days.

poli July 14, 2009 08:56 AM

You would say: I'm halfway through the course.

ROBINDESBOIS July 15, 2009 01:52 AM

can you say then, We have reached the midpoint of the course?

Rusty July 15, 2009 09:57 AM

Yes, but it's more common to hear "we're halfway through the course."
Some others:
We're over the hump.
We're now on the downhill slide/slope.

ROBINDESBOIS July 15, 2009 03:14 PM

what about the final countdown starts?

Rusty July 15, 2009 03:18 PM

Usable, yes.
