Obrigado! e parabens pelo no.100! Obrigado pela visita

Sem querer parecer arrogante (pois sei que vai soar como tal) na tua frase em ingles apos a virgula queres dizer que ter classe é intemporal? se sim sugeria uma pequena alteraçao "but class is timeless espero que nao leves a mal a sugestao, é so o habito do trabalho a impor-se

Não parece nada arrogante, este sitio é para opinar a nossa vontade gostes ou não tens de levar c/ os outros (a meu ver) a minha frase "but class don´t have times..." significa não tem tempo ou seja a moda vai e vem, mas a classe de cada um não tem tempo, ou seja não é moda (será que me fiz entender)

Lingobeat In reply to vdevil [2005-11-10 12:53:17 +0000 UTC]

sim foi o que pensei. E tens de gramlar com a opiniao dos outros sim mas a vantagem so aceitas se quiseres
sendo assim aqui vai a minha neste assunto: frase genial, mas incorrecta gramaticalmente em ingles, times nao existe o plural the time é time
dai aminha sugestao de mudares para "but class is timeless" que é exactamente o mesmo que queres dizer! Isto de corrigir o ingles é so uma mania minha, desculpa-me a presunçao

Lingobeat In reply to SecretMorning [2005-11-11 10:42:49 +0000 UTC]

hmm very curious aren't you? Well In fact It is the nature of my job or better saying the difficulties in it that led me to travelling this much. I was in the Uk after a MSc degree in Scotland, just trying to get a decent job in Marine Biology. And I'm in France because of a job I was offered, and since temping is definitly not my thing I just came over and it is great! I think I'm becoming a nomad just jumping around and to be honest I quite enjoy the travelling and getting to know new people and new cultures. How about u? Your 6 months were just a discovery trip of UK?

Yes I AM curious! But you touched two strings that interests me a lot, languages, then travelling! hehe!
I always wanted to visit England, then I had finished college, wasnt suer what to do at university.. found this thing Au Pair, so I decided to go! I don't regret it at all! And I will keep on travelling, in two years for university (Spain!) and then I don't know when but I'll eventually visit every places int he world! Yup Yup

hehehehe it is said that curiosity killed the cat, but I think curiosity is essential in life! If you are going to Spain I highly recommend that you pay a visit to Portugal, if you have the chance Sintra is one of the most magical and beautiful places in the planet and deserves visiting, I shall post a pic or 2 if I can found any decent ones in my photos. Although Spain is very interesting I think Portugal as a lot to offer too. I share the same entusiasm as you for travelling, its quintessential to me, it is just great to get to know new people newx places, see different things look at life in different ways, a bit like taking various photos of the same subject but just changing the perspective/point of view

I'll take a not about Sintra. If I get a chance! I'm goign to Spain because it's Spanish I'm studying. But as I said, I will visit any places I can! I too want to take pictures from every angle! (and not just figuratively)

gracias. pero yo puedo ayudarme. como se llaman los dos espanol idiomas. yo pienso que uno es el castilano, pero no soy muy (sure) !

Lingobeat In reply to SecretMorning [2005-11-14 13:26:49 +0000 UTC]

I'll help you, just a few remarks in your sentence (yo is me not you) and it should be idiomas espanols. I'll do it in english because it is actually easier for me ! In Spain you have a series of different languages depending of the region you are going. The official is castelaño which is the basis for the spanish spoken in America. You have others like catalan, galego and I believe there is also others in andalucia e leon but I am not aware of their names. Galego is spoken in Galicia (it is a language that is closer to the ancient spanish and portuguese) in fact is so close that they use same words and structure than portuguese. Well our country actually started from the North which makes frontier with Galicia.
In Cataluña you have catalan. And if you go to the basque coutnry they speak basque which as nothing to do with spanish, or in fact to any modern european language (it derives from an ancient indo-european language). Just a word of caution, spanish people are very proud of their language, specially at regional levels were they try an preserve their specific culture. So if you plan to go to Barcelona (which is in Cataluña) be aware that they speak mainly catalan, and are some people that are quite adamant on using this idioma on classes etc. In galicia they are a bit less adamant in the use of galego. (by the way if you receive this twice is just an error of this reply thingy)

I'm leaving you some essential phrases/words for your survival in spain:

dos cañas por favor! (two half-pints please)
dos cervezas por favor! (two beers please! - normally bottles is cerveza)
dos canecas por favor! (two pints please)

And if you go to Portugal
duas imperiais se faz favor!
duas cervejas se faz favor! (it is normally bottles or cans, you maybe be asked if you want garrafa (bottle) or lata (can))
Duas canecas se faz favor!

Or if you don't like beer:

una copa de viño (glass of wine - not usual to find but exists in some bars) or the more common
una botela de viño por favor
- very good white: Albariño
- good red: Rioja

em português:

um copo de vinho
uma garrafa de vinho ( you speak it with similar entonation as in spanish the word nh is the same as ñ)

very good young white - Alvarinho, Casal Garcia (we call them green wine) excelent with seafood)
very good red - wines from the Alentejo region a good one is "Monte Velho" or a "Vasco da Gama"
excellent rose - Mateus rosé


Well this is all for now, but if you need more help in this mother just drop me a line
