Hi, I'm new to this forum. I am a student learning Spanish, so expect mistakes. A limerick I wrote:

Un hombre hecho un viajo
Arriba el pais, y abajo,
En todos ciudades
Encontró actividades,
Pero no obtenó trabajo

It can be fun un to rhyme in Spanish, and much easier to do than rhyming
in English.

It is an art to rhyme sensibly.

@Kriko: your last verse would sound better as "pero no encontró trabajo". You might have meant "obtuvo", but that's not a suitable verb when referring to finding a job.


@Poli: ¿"navage"? Creo que más bien quieres decir "navegue" (de "navegar").

Welcome, kriko. Sorry, but "viajo" is not a noun, it should be "viaje"

Hello my friend.

I'm George and I'm Mexican guy well, I'm studying the English one year ago, therefore, well I have mistakes alt most always in my texts and post, but it's doesn't stop me, because as I like the language well, I know that my learning can be very low sometimes more for the time that I pay in the study.

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

Get fun.
