¡Hola!

[EddieLombard]

¡Hola! ¿Como estan ustedes? Me llamo Miguel. Tengo trienta anos. Soy de Búfalo en Nueva York. Hablo español muy poco y no muy bien. Entiendo español un poco.

With that my friends I must return to my native language. I have been browsing the forums the past couple days and wanted to introduce myself. I took Spanish as a second language for about 6 years in my junior high/highschool days and never really attained fluency. I could speak well but it always took a short time to think of what I wanted to say. After my highschool graduation I never used the language and forgot most of what I had learned.

Recently I have decided I want to spend some time in South America. In order to make the trip more enjoyable I decided it was best to learn Spanish and Portuguese. As I have seen how aggressive your spam filter is I won't say what I am using other that the programs rhyme with "panchetta foam" and "pimps lair." I have also been trying to immerse myself in the language as much as possible at the moment. It has been about a week of study so far and things seem to be going well. Hopefully this site will advance my learning even further.

As this has been a rather lengthy introduction I will leave you with one small piece of information about me. I like to write silly rhyming poems. Here is my first attempt at a bilingual poem. Please be forgiving.

No hablo español muy bien but I hope that we can still be friends.
Entiendo español un poco, holy s*!t I feel bilingual.
Escuchando, encantado, singing songs in Spanish you know.
Soy el señor americano. I love you all like mis hermanos.
Abrazando el cielo, in the breeze I drift away oh.
Soy aquí y yo mucho gusto. Me llamo Miguel mi amigo.
Come and join me. Tiene bebe, come come. Tales betrothed me.
The world is ours when we take charge the bulls*!t lies we no comprar. We're all the same and all together. Somos niños de la tierra.
Todavía estamos lucha. What ever happened with pleased to meet ya?
We share this all we're una familia. Respect it all our one tierra.
Like the words straight from Jamaica roll it up and may Jah bless ya.

Hasta luego amigos,

Mike

Hola Mike,
¡Bienvenido a los foros! Espero aprendas lo necesario antes de salir para Sudamerica. Si tienes preguntas, háznoslas.

(Aquí se habla Portugués, también.)

(There's an 'Accents' drop-down menu above where you type. It contains all the special characters you'll need to type in Spanish.)
