You should try with Ctrl + Alt, works for me in the accents for example Ctrl + Alt + A = á I have the US International keyboard also the key ' works to make the accent

No esperes ser conocido.
Don't wait to be introduced. (to someone).

¿Conociste algunas muchachas?
Did you meet any girls?
*is there a difference between 'any girls' and 'some girls'?

Ella nació aquí, y él nació en México. Se conocieron en un baile. No hablaban (each other's) idioma pero se salían para 5 años y despues se casaban. Por supuesto ahora, despues de 25 años, ¡ella puede hablar español, y él puede hablar ingles!
She was born here, and he was born in Mexico. They met at a dance. They didn't speak each other's language but they dated for 5 years and then got married. Of course now, 25 years later, she can speak Spanish, and he can speak English!

(I'm having issues choosing between preterit and imperfect...I don't know how "each other's" would translate and I'm not sure about "of course now").

Lastly:
I know you use 'dejar de' to tell someone to stop doing something ie: "¡Deja de cantar!" Stop singing! But how do you just say "stop!" ?

I've seen that on some movies and as far as I know a hookie party is a party with you know prostitutes

@AnnaFoster:

No esperes a que te presenten. If you say "ser conocido" you're telling the person not to expect to be famous /well known

¿Conociste algunas muchachas?
Did you meet any girls?
*is there a difference between 'any girls' and 'some girls'? No.

Ella nació aquí, y él nació en México. Se conocieron en un baile. No hablaban el mismo idioma/ un idioma en común/ ella no hablaba español y él no hablaba ingles pero estuvieron saliendo por 5 años y despues se casaron. Por supuesto que ahora, despues de 25 años, ¡ella sabe hablar español y él sabe hablar ingles!
She was born here, and he was born in Mexico. They met at a dance. They didn't speak each other's language but they dated for 5 years and then got married. Of course now, 25 years later, she can speak Spanish, and he can speak English!

(I'm having issues choosing between preterit and imperfect...I don't know how "each other's" would translate and I'm not sure about "of course now"). Normally, "each other" can translate as "mutuo" or "reciproco", but not here; that's why I changed it a bit: "No hablaban el mismo idioma (they didn't speak the same language), "No hablaban/tenían un idioma en común" (they didn't speak/have a language in common, "Ella no hablaba español y él no hablaba ingles (She didn't speak Spanish and he didn't speak English".

Lastly:
I know you use 'dejar de' to tell someone to stop doing something ie: "¡Deja de cantar!" Stop singing! But how do you just say "stop!" ¡Ya basta! / ¡Suficiente! / ¡Ya parale!/ ¡Ya callate!* *use this last one only when you want the person to stop speaking, arguing or making any sort of noise.

¡Hola guapo! Espero que estés bien; ¿y qué noticias/novedades me tienes? Espero que podamos chatear pronto.

@Viva:

Voy a subir por la escalera
Voy a --> I am going to
subir --> climb? or is subir por climb? Only "subir". ("I'm going to climb the tree"=Voy a subir al árbol. )
la escalera --> the ladder? Yes, "escalera" can be "ladder", but also "staircase".

Im not sure where the por comes in?



Vamos a ir en automo'vil
Vamos a --> We are going
en automo'vil --> in/by car?by car.
ir --> ? "to go".


Also, i've installed the spanish keyboard, but I cant find the accents the only letters i've found are ¡ and ñ, how do I do the accented a, e, i, o, u and upside down exclamation mark? Which keyboard do I need? I tried spain internation port and mexico but none of them are working


How do I say you are going to...?
Esta's? No; "vas a":

I'm going to =Voy a
You're going to =Vas a (informal 'you')
You're going to =Va a (formal 'you')
He/She's going to =Va a
We're going to =Vamos a
You're going to (plural)= Van a (Latin America)/ Vais a (Spain)
They're going to= Van a


If sentarse is to sit
What is sentarme? Im sitting? No, it's the infinitive: Voy a sentarme (I'm going to sit). Quiero sentarme (I want to sit).
But isnt estoy sentado I am sitting? Yes, and in your case is "estoy sentada

sentar -> to sit
sentado -> sitting
sentarse? sentarme? "Sentarse" is the infinitive form for the third person (or the second person formal): La niña quiere sentarse (the girl wants to sit); el anciano va a sentarse en el balcón (The old man is going to sit on the balcony); ¿Quiere (usted) sentarse? (Would you like to sit?).

a duela a quien le duela ?

...no matter what...

or

...like it or not...

Ok.... I have a few un-fun questions....

No esperes a que te presenten. Is there an easy way to grasp why 'a que' is in this sentence?

Estuvieron saliendo = they were dating? If I wanted to say "they dated" would it just be .....salieron por 5 años.... ? And, is it preterit b/c it has a recognizable start and end?

Is it wrong to say "she can speak spanish / ella puede hablar español" ? Maybe that's something that doesn't directly translate.

Thanks!

transaltion plz

no importa, me gustas por ser quien eres y no por lo que está fuera sino lo que está dentro

Is this correct?

By wednesday, we're going to see who'll win the bet.
Para el miercoles, vamos a ver quien ganará la apuesta.

There were lots of draws so we'll just have to judge* this particular bet by the points.
Había/hubo? muchos partidos empatados asi que nomas tendremos que decidir esta apuesta particular por los puntos.

*In english, I'd say "judge/juzgar" but in spanish maybe "decide/decidir" is best?
