I was gonna ask if you were really going to complain ....


Ella esta Boricua, verdad? Que bueno! Mis maestros fue de San Juan y personas hablan que hablo con acento boricuante. (no estoy seguro de este palabra).

Georgia Yes she is, Yolanda family is from Aibonito, Yolanda says your last sentence does not make that much sense who speaks with a Peurto rican accent you or her?

I'm just typing what she says, I do not speak it at all.

Are you learning the language?

 

[Kacey]

Should I be careful taking spanish from Georgia? I am scared she is going to make me think I am asking for a drink but instead be asking Juan to drop his drawers and shake his ...well you know, at me...not that that would be necessarily a bad thing...:uhyeah:

See, that sounds like fun to me!

Sorry, Terry and sorry Yolanda, my Spanish is rusty! I studied Castillian for 5 years in school - a little more than one year in middle school and all four years of high school. We read novels and wrote reports in Spanish and were only allowed to speak with our advanced teacher *ever* in Spanish only and in the classroom in spanish only.

But that was 20+ years ago and no one wants to practice with a gringa so I've lost a lot of it.

In my last sentence I was trying to say that I am told that I speak with a Puerto Rican accent and that my teachers were all from San Juan.

That is what she thought, I had no ideal at all so you are doing better than me

When you work with Russian and Vietnamese people every day, you kinda get used to it.

I used to have a program with a Japanese supplier. I worked for a few years with many Japanese. They woudl say excsue and then break into Japanese and then come back to English. What would always make them smile was when I would interrupt them and give more information on the subject the were talking/arguing about. Being that it was engineering and a subject of engineering I understand and work, I could figure out what they were talking about. Of course when it came time for food or the weather I was way out of my element.

Mkay, you gotta tell me how you got the accented "i" - do you also know how to get the "n" with tilde? How about the upside down question mark and exclamation point?

Put the cursor immediately after the letter you want to accent, then hit Alt-F4 for a list of options...

 

[Carol]

Very funny. Alt-F4 is the universal shortcut to close a window/application.

When I'm working, I will sometimes change the language of my system over to Spanish so I have access to the full Spanish alphabet. If my system is in English, I've typically inserted the characters from charmap

It asks me if I'm sure I want to close the window.
