That is a correct translation, but not in this context. Here it is "Malila beat me". (was faster than me.)

Already Malila won me (creo que es incorrectojeje) That is the literal translation, yes. The colloquial translation would be something like "Malila already beat me to it."

Good job.
Use creer instead of pensar when you are expressing your opinion, or what you think, about something. That's the more common usage.
If you've questions about my corrections, just ask.

If you've questions about my corrections, just ask.

1. Muy nunca tiene un acento en el "ú" ?

2. sus cabezas están llenas (¿Porqué es llenar conjugató?) ¿Lleno significa "full", no?

3. ¡¡Espero que un día hable dos, tres o cuatro lenguajes!!
(Intenté decir "I hope that one day I will speak two, three, or four languages"... Cuándo conjugo "hablar", ¿cuáles tiempo (tense?) debo usar? Tiempo futuro (hablaré?) .....Miro que cuándo tú corregiste "hablaré" tú usas "hable" ¿Porqué lo escogiste?)


Gracias por tus repuestas, yo te agredezco mucho. estoy felicísimo

2. sus cabezas están llenas (¿Por qué está conjugado llenar?) Lleno significa "full", ¿no? lleno = full (adjective) - Adjectives always agree in number and gender with the noun they modify. In this case, the noun is cabezas. It is plural and feminine, so the Spanish adjective lleno becomes llenas.

3. ¡¡Espero que un día hable dos, tres o cuatro lenguajes!!
(Intenté decir "I hope that one day I will speak two, three, or four languages"... Cuando conjugo "hablar", ¿cuál tiempo debo usar? Tiempo futuro (hablaré?) Veo que cuando () corregiste "hablaré" () usaste "hable" ¿Por qué lo escogiste?) The verb of desire in the main clause makes use of the subjunctive mandatory in the secondary. Hable is the subjunctive mood, present tense form of hablo. This is used for both the present and the future tense.

@Jane: "El sueño de mi vida" (My life's dream) is something I would like to achieve in my life.
"La vida de mis sueños" (The life of my dreams) is the kind of life I dream of.

Yeah, I know, which was why I thought that Bob meant the latter; the ability to speak 3 languages being something that he´d like to achieve in life.
