Does anyone on here speak fluent spanish??

I have to write an essay on what I learned in spanish class, completely in spanish.

Heres the thing, this is my 10th year of taking spanish and I still know nothing.

I would just use one of the online translator things but there usually not accurate with grammer and usage of terms and what not. I tried it once with a German essay, and my teacher looked at me like I had 3 heads cause it was giberish. Sooo ....

Does someone wanna translate an essay from english to spanish for me please?

Sure I'll do it, I can espeaky espanich. I speak the Texas dialect though, but I work with Mexicans from all over Mexico and and picking up their dialects too. But I'm completely fucked if it's Spain Spanish.

Oh wait you're from Jersey so it probably won't be in Spain spanish then...

So you're gonna write it in English and post it here then? Keep in mind that some words/sentences don't quite translate into English the way you'd think, and some phrases in English have double meanings in Spanish but not in English... Different words have different "significances."

i'm posting this here in case any of you native speakers might be generous enough to double check my translation.

"Lo que Aprendн en la Clase de Espaсol

Para ser honesta, no tenнa mucha esperanza para aprender espaсol este aсo. Como, le he dicho, este es mi dйcimo aсo estudiando espaсol. Despues de nueve aсos de estudiar, sabнa solamente los saludos, algunos colores, y cуmo contar a cinco; no tenнa ninguna esperanza. Pensй que este aсo serнa como los otros; harнa bastante para pasar la clase, y irme con nada. Estoy felнz para decir que estaba incorrecto.

Recuerdo mi primer dнa de clase como era ayer. Busquй el salуn de clase y lo encontrй en el vestнbulo al lado de mi “homeroom.” No he conocido a nadie, pero hice amigos rбpidamente. Usted nos dio papeles sobre tiranizar, y toda la gente, incluyndo mн, riу. Sabнa que esta clase serнa diferente de las otras.

Nosotros trabajamos en proyectos - algunos cuyo nunca fueron completados – hicimos hojas de trabajo como en otras clases de espaсol que he tomado, pero algo era diferente. Creo que, para aprender, un alumno tiene que estar en una situaciуn cуmoda y preparado mentalmente. Usted es nuestro profesor, pero, usted nunca nos desacreditу como algunos de los profesores en mis otras escuelas han hecho. Sentнamos cуmodos con usted, capaces de hablar de cosas que no podrнamos hablar con otros profesores.

Muchos de los estudiantes in la clase, incluyendo mн, tienen capacidades de concentraciуn cortas y les gusta ser ruidosos. Usted sabнa dejarnos estar relajados pero tambiйn estar productivos. Calvin lo dijo mejor algunas semanas pasadas; йl dijo que nuestra clase es bueno porque podemos bromear y divertirnos, pero tambiйn somos productivos. En mi opiniуn, ese equilibrio es necesario para que los estudiantes aprendan. Si el profesor es demasiado terminante o demasiado clemente, los estudiantes no serбn cooperativos. Antes de este aсo, no tenнa el equilibrio correcto. Usted nos mantuvo entretenidos y centrados en lo que usted nos enseсaba.

Todavнa no estoy fluido en espaсol, pero йste es el primer aсo que he podido entender nuevos tйrminos y entender el concepto de la estructura de frases (qunque es el conrario del inglйs). La mayorнa de mis compaсeros de trabajo hablan espaсol, y me plazco decir que puedo entender mucho de lo que dicen; diez debe ser mi nъmero afortunado. Algunos de mis compaсeros de trabajor me han ayudado con mi tarea y elllos han notado que mi espaсol ha mejorado. Tambiйn aprendн que prestar atenciуn hace una diferencia. Mientras que nuestro semestre termina, espero que sus clases siguientes no sean tan desagradables que nosotros йramos."
