Learning Spanish language

[normality]

buenas noches everyone

im really just a Spanish beginner and was hoping that someone could help me translate this paragraph for an assignment, por favor si.

"I am studying Spanish language now because i think it is really interesting and a romantic language. I like watching Spanish telenovelas. I also have a really handsome Spanish teacher who is really helpful. I want to thank him for teaching even though I am not really good at it. I have 5 family members. my parents, my sister, my brother and I. My parents are doctors. They're both 54 years old. My father likes to read and my mum likes to cook. My sister is 27 years old and is working now. She likes to sleep. My brother is 24 years old and likes to play games. My bestfriend's name is Anna. She's 19. She is studying in Nottingham University. She likes the color orange. She plays the piano really well. Anna speaks Chinese but she likes Spanish too. Anna and I are bestfriends since high school. We understand each other a lot and that make things easy for us.

Thank you for helping me through out this learning course. Hope you have better days ahead of you. Take care."

muchas gracias!

Ahora estoy estudiando el idioma Español, porque creo que es realmente interesante y una lengua romántica. Me gusta ver las telenovelas en español. También tengo un profesor de español muy guapo que es realmente amable. Quiero darle las gracias por la enseñanza, aunque no sea muy buena en ello. Tengo 5 miembros en la familia. mis padres, mi hermana, mi hermano y yo. Mis padres son médicos/doctores. Los dos tiene 54 años. A mi padre le gusta leer y a mi mamá le gusta cocinar.

My sister is 27 years old and is working now. She likes to sleep. My brother is 24 years old and likes to play games. My bestfriend's name is Anna. She's 19. She is studying in Nottingham University. She likes the color orange. She plays the piano really well. Anna speaks Chinese but she likes Spanish too. Anna and I are bestfriends since high school.

Mi hermana tiene 27 años y está trabajando ahora. A ella le gusta dormir. Mi hermano tiene 24 años y le gusta jugar juegos. El nombre de mi mejor amiga es Anna. Ella tiene 19 años. Ella está estudiando en la Universidad de Nottingham. A ella le gusta el color naranja. Toca el piano muy bien. Anna habla chino, pero a ella le gusta también el Español. Anna y yo somos mejores amigas desde la secundaria. Nos entendemos mucho y eso hace las cosas fáciles para nosotros.

Thank you for helping me through out this learning course. Hope you have better days ahead of you. Take care

"yo soy un loco y no me enojo, igual que Marilyn Manson quiere que me saque un ojo"

sacar un ojo a alguien = in Spanish this expression means that someone hurts someone else's eye (lit. it implies that the eye falls down to the ground)

ok so by hurting someone's eye you mean being ugly right? like an eyesore?

I don't really know the meaning he gives to the sentence but for me is as he was saying "I can't help it, I'm that way, there's nothing I can't do or you want me to pull out my eye"

Well you don't have to be in france to speak spanish, aha I'm from Canada and I French is my second language. And it's true, speaking french does get to people, I spoke french to my friend who is a Mexican and he thought it was sexy ahah.

I want to learn French too . But I guess I have enough for now trying to learn English, after this one, maybe in a year, I'd like to learn some French and perhaps Portuguese (since I couldn't start this year )... I remember that French was easy for me in school, of course, I've fogotten it all after , so many years (and it wasn't that much, so I know less than I knew now ..)!!!

Sorry to contradict you, but this is simply incorrect. "Echar de menos" means "extrañar", "añorar", ie "to miss something/someone, to feel nostalgia for something/someone."

I want it to be clear my only intention is that the person who asked gets the right answer; I'm not intending to pick up an argument or confrontation with you or anybody else around here.

Citlalli, una duda sobre esa frase en inglés "look down on", tiene que ver con mirar con desprecio, desdén, o en modo burlón, cierto?.... Es la primera vez que la veo .

Y sí, echar de menos a alguien es extrañar, so I agree with you and your translation

Sí, exactamente, "mirar/ver con desdén"; y puede ser "look down on something/somebody" o "look down upon something/somebody". Y bueno, yo si la he visto en varias ocasiones, aunque no con demasiada frecuencia
