hola!

[Pixter]

Me llamo sandra y nací y crecí en Colombia, Sur America. Cuando terminé mis estudios de escuela superior (hace muchos años..lol..) nos mudamos al estado de la Florida, USA. I did attend a local high school but only for 3 days!! I just couldn't take the cultural shock on top of no knowing any English at all. I took ESOL classes instead and later attended a local college too. I love translating and learning the meaning of new words. Since English is not my native language, I'm always trying to improve it by learning new words, idioms, etc. I work at an elementary school helping kids that are new to this country and need to learn English. I'll probably be asking English-related questions BUT I'll be happy to help with any Spanish questions

I'm feeling very welcome right now

Poli, I was born in Bucaramanga, Santander, Colombia.....I know, funny name, I don't even think it means anything....I'm sure there is a story behind it....when I say it in front of English speaking people, they usually react like "Say what?? that sounds like hamburger!" LOL

Si cometé algun error me avisa. Gracias.

Siento meterme donde no me llaman, pero no lo pude evitar. Sorry, Poli.

Jajaja, Iris is nice.

Cuz' he feel that you don't want that he correct you.

[Pixter]

hi poli, no I don't have access to Caracol but you're right, sometimes they do show pintorescos pueblos de Colombia. Mi mama mira Caracol cada vez que puede pero a mi no es que me encante verlo. Muestran muchas novelas, bueno esa es mi opinion.

You didn't make any mistakes except at the end when you said "Si cometé algun error me avisa" Were you trying to say "If I made a mistake, let me know?" (past tense ?)

If so, it should've said "Si cometí algun error, me avisas"
you can also say "Si cometí algun error, me avisa" but since you used TU instead of USTED in the beginning, you should end with "me avisas"

OR like Iris said "Si cometo algun error, me avisa" This is the correct way in the Present time.
