Más o menos en 1982 -es decir hace unos cuantos años ¡jeje! Estuve de au pair en Annapolis durante el verano. Era una experiencia muy grata y enriquecedora. Los Americanos eran muy hospitalarios.

Corrections?

¿Cuándo fue la última vez que no oiste el despertador, o es que no lo tienes que poner?

El viernes pasado. Perdimos el autobus y tuve que llevar a mi hijo al colegio que está a unos veinte kilómetros.

¿Cuándo fue la última vez que dormiste en una playa?

A couple of things here...

And when was the last time you had a fag is OK in the UK, if you're asking about when was the last time you had a cigarette, but not in the USA, right Americans??!!

Could you not say 'we had 21º' in colloquial speech?

I am trying to use as much slang as I can, that's why I said 'fag'. I know they often use that word in Ireland but I wasn't aware it was not common in other English-speaking countries!

haha! It also means 'homosexual', does it?

You have to be very careful with English slang on a multi-cultural forum.

Hace muchos años. Me encanta los perros, pero no puedo tener uno. Nunca estoy en casa, porque trabajo mucho y viajo mucho....

I keep thinking about we had 21º and I'm pretty sure that I'd never say it...

And yes, it's good to try to "expand your horizons" a bit, and try to use more colloquial expressions, but of course the more we try to do, the more mistakes we'll make!

I'm sorry for the mistakes, the that there happened is that I was very bury and write that very fast.

One hour ago.

When was the last time you had in the teatro.

Hola Jessica!
No entiendo tu respuesta a la pregunta...

¿Cuándo fue la última vez que te sentaste en la sala de estar?

Has puesto no sé.
Hmmmm, ¿esto es no sé porque no sabes lo que es la sala de estar, o tal vez, no tienes sala de estar donde vives?? ¿Puedes explicar?!!

P.D. Me gusta tu pregunta. ¡Tengo mucha suerte porque a mí me dan abrazos todos los días!

[CarmenCarmona]

@Here4good, In Spanish we don't even use 'tener' for degrees, I think I was going to type something like 'we had an awesome day' and thought that 'we had 21º' would summarize it or something! haha

Expanding your horizons by making mistakes is paramount in Second Language Acquisition! And it was not really a mistake, just a matter of different dialects!

[laepelba]

What in the world is 21º??

[CarmenCarmona]

haha I said it was 21ºC in my city the other day, referring to temperature!

But I said 'we had 21º', have you ever heard that?!

[CrOtALiTo]

What was the last question?

[Jessica]

I'm confused

Crotalito - yours was the most recent question. You might want to re-word it, as you used a combination of English and Spanish.

Carmen - now that I read the posts on the past three pages, I see where you were going with that. Makes sense to me.
