60-Days of Languages 💖 [ Day 44: Describe an imaginary character or place. ]
english     In a green field, there are beautiful trees that touch the sky. So tall that you can barely see the top of them. From the trees there grows various fruits. The grass is so green and throughout the fields runs beautiful streams of the bluest water. The streams are surrounded by steeping stones and beautiful, diverse species of flowers. The sky is as blue as the water with the whitest clouds decorating the sky. This heavenly place is called De un Cuadro which means from a painting. The name exactly describes how this place looks.

60-Days of Languages 💖
Day 54: Learn a grammatical rule/concept and explain it.
Gender Pronouns in Spanish
In Spanish, all nouns are either masculine or feminine.
Masculine        Feminine
el chico        la chica
boy            girl
el jardín        la universidad
garden        university
el libro        la revista
book        magazine
el miedo        la libertad
fear            liberty
Just like in English, Spanish often gives living creatures different names, depending upon whether they are male or female.
Masculine        Feminine
man            woman
tiger            tigress
aviator        aviatrix
The following Spanish nouns all denote living creatures.
el gato - male cat
la gata - female cat
el perro - male dog
la perra - female dog
el chico - boy
la chica - girl
el abuelo - grandfather
la abuela - grandmother
How are all of these masculine nouns alike?
   el chico
   el abuelo
Hint: look at both the beginning and the ending of each line.
How are all of these feminine nouns alike?
   la chica
   la abuela
“El” and “la” both mean “the.”
   el chico (the boy)
   la chica (the girl)
   el perro (the male dog)
   la gata (the female cat)
Note: These two words (el, la) are called “definite articles.�� You will learn more about them in a later lesson.
What do you notice about the last letter of these nouns?
Masculine    Feminine
gato    gata
perro    perra
chico    chica
abuelo    abuela
Nouns that end in -o are usually masculine. Nouns that end in -a are usually feminine. Notice the word usually! There are exceptions to these two rules and you will soon be learning them.
One cannot predict the gender of a noun that stands for a non-living thing. Try to predict whether the Spanish words for the following things are masculine or feminine:
You cannot predict the gender of a noun, except in the case of living creatures.
Take a guess. Do you think the Spanish word for “dress” is masculine or feminine? You might expect it to be feminine, since a dress is an article of clothing worn by females.
Actually, the word for “dress” is a masculine word:
   el vestido
Take another guess. Do you think the Spanish word for “necktie” is masculine or feminine? You might expect it to be masculine, since a necktie is an article of clothing worn by males.
Actually, the word for “necktie” is a feminine word:
   la corbata
When you learn a new noun, you should also learn its definite article (el, la). There are several reasons for this:
Because you cannot predict the gender of most nouns.
Because not every noun that ends in -o is masculine, and not every noun that ends in -a is feminine.
Because many nouns end in letters other than o or a.
Because the definite article (el, la) is your clue as to whether a noun is masculine or feminine.
Masculine nouns that end in a consonant often have a corresponding feminine form that ends in -a.
el profesor
la profesora
el doctor
la doctora
el señor
la señora
Some nouns that refer to people use the same form for both masculine and feminine. These nouns indicate gender by the article (el or la).
el estudiante
la estudiante
el pianista
la pianista
el artista
la artista
Nouns that end in -sión, -ción, -dad, -tad, -tud, -umbre are feminine.
la televisión
la decisión
la conversación
la habitación
la ciudad
la universidad
la dificultad
la libertad
la actitud
la gratitud
la certidumbre
la muchedumbre
Some nouns that end in -a are masculine.
el problema
el telegrama
el programa
el mapa
el sistema
el poema
el día
el tema
el clima
el idioma
el sofá
el planeta
Many nouns that end in -ma are masculine. Notice that eight of the twelve nouns listed above end in -ma.
el telegrama
el programa
el problema
el sistema
el poema
el idioma
el clima
el tema
Note: A few nouns that end in -ma are feminine, such as la cama and la pluma.
Four of the nouns that end in -a are simply exceptions and must be memorized.
el día
el mapa
el planeta
el sofá
A few nouns that end in -o are feminine.
   la mano
   la radio
Many nouns that denote living things have both a masculine and a feminine form.
Most nouns that end in -o are masculine.
Most nouns that end in -a are feminine.
Masculine nouns that end in a consonant often have a corresponding feminine form that ends in -a.
Some nouns that refer to people use the same form for both masculine and feminine. These nouns indicate gender by the article (el or la).
Nouns that end in -sión, -ción, -dad, -tad, -tud, -umbre are feminine.
Many nouns that end in -ma are masculine.
A few nouns that end in -o are feminine
Day 55: Write in TG about a tradition/custom in your country.
Una tradición aquí en los Estados que celebramos es el día de la independencia o el 4 de julio. El día de la independencia se celebra el 4 de julio. Este día es el día en que Estados Unidos se convirtió en su propia nación separada de Gran Bretaña en 1776. Tradicionalmente, muchas personas celebran este día con picnics, desfiles y fuegos artificiales.
Day 56: Learn 3 proverbs/sayings.
El mundo es un pañuelo
Literal translation: The world is a handkerchief.
Meaning: It’s a small world.
A lo hecho, pecho.
Literal translation: To what’s done, chest.
Meaning: What’s done is done. You’ve made your bed, now lie in it. When something bad has happened (maybe caused by you!) but it’s too late to change it, you need to just face up to it (in the sense of puffing out your chest and fronting it out).
A falta de pan, buenas son (las) tortas
Literal translation: In the absence of bread, cakes are good.
Meaning: Similar to the English “Half a loaf is better than none,” this means that something is better than nothing, and beggars can’t be choosers!

One things that interests me in astrology. I actually have a blog here on tumblr called sluttish-astrology (lol don’t mind the name). I got into astrology about a year and a half ago. Astrology has given me a new outlook on life. At one point, I actually did consider a career in astrology because I love it so much. At first I had only knew about a little about astrology like the sun sign’s. Now I have dived deeper and discovered things like moon signs and aspects and different charts, etc. But, I still have not discovered everything and I am still discovering things about astrology each and everyday.

Ahora he buceado más profundo y descubierto cosas como signos de la luna y los aspectos y diferentes gráficos, etc. Pero, todavía no he descubierto todo y todavía estoy descubriendo cosas sobre la astrología cada día y todos los días.
Otra cosa que me interesa es actuar. Actuar es tan asombroso. La alegría de hacer sentir a la gente cada tipo de emoción de la ira a la tristeza es increíble. Es tan inspirador para mí hacer que la gente disfrute de lo que están viendo a través del arte. Trae pura alegría y asombro a[  las personas que es grande. También me gusta entretener a la gente.

Day 57: Write about your biggest fear.
My biggest fear is being alone and not being successful. To me being alone is the worst. To be without my friends and family would be terrible. I would lose my mind without them. They are my rock and they are people I come to everyday to talk to about everything especially my mom. Being successful is one of my main goals in life. I have a fear of failure. If I do not succeed or do my absolute best, then what is the point of doing in in the first place. That is why my family and friends are so important to me and also why to me it’s either all or nothing because failure is not a option.

{ Day 41: Read an article and write your position on the topic.}
↳ I read a pop news article about RIverdale stars Charles Melton and Camila Mendes. The two have been in a relationship for about four or five months now. On her recent Instagram story, Melton was seen with a tattoo on his chest which read “cami”. Many fans began to controverse that the tattoo was real. But, Camila recently stated that the tattoo is not real. I don’t know how to really feel about their relationship. I have recently started watching Riverdale and I really enjoy the show. I am currently still on season 1. I can’t wait to catch up on the show. I think I prefer Archie and Veronica as a couple uwu. But, I still love Charles Melton and his cheekbones.

https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/duolingo-spanish-podcast/id1317493077?mt=2&i=1000426175556 Day 52: Make your bucket list in TG.
Viaja por todo el mundo
ve a Coachella
visita la tumba de XXXTentacion
visita la playa
Conviértete en un polígot (lol en el viaje ahora)
ver las luces del norte
aprenda a nadar
poseer un yate
ir mirando estrellas
Day 53: Learn about traditions/customs in a country where your TG is spoken.     The country I have chosen is Puerto Rico, but there are many countries that speak Spanish. One of the most noteworthy and fun Christmas traditions in Puerto Rico is the trulla or parranda. The custom is a bit similar to Christmas carolers in other countries, but turned up a couple of notches with instruments and surprise appearances at the houses of friends and family at any time of night. Often people in parrandas wake up the resident of the house they’re visiting and make so much noise that the neighbors are woken up as well. After the Christmas songs have been sung, the parranda people spend time at the house they’ve visited and sometimes have a meal together. There’s a lot of fun to be had with family and friends during this time of the year, and a parranda is a great way to keep the festivities going.

{ Day 38: Chat with a native about a specific topic of your interest.  (I’m toooo shy ugggh I hate it) }
{ Day 39: Learn a grammatical rule/concept and explain it.}
Regular Verbs in Spanish
Verbs might be the single most important focus of the Spanish language as there are so many ways to express one idea just through verb usage and conjugation. This makes the Spanish the language both eloquent and beautiful, but also tricky for the Spanish beginner. Not to worry though! Below you will find a basic breakdown of how verbs work.
infinitives: All regular verbs have an infinitive form that ends in either -ar, -er or -ir. example: hablar → to talk comer → to eat escribir → to write conjugations These verbs are then conjugated based on the subject and tense of the sentence. The -ar, -er and -ir ending is dropped and you are left with the base form of the verb, to which you then add the corresponding ending. example: hablar (infinitive form) = habl (base form) = Yo hablo (I talk)
{ Day 40: Describe a dream you’ve had. } 
Lol for some strange reason I don’t dream. I just go to sleep and wake up. And if I do dream, I can’t seem to remember the dream at all after a few minutes when I wake up. The last time I had a dream was about two weeks ago, but I can’t remember it at all. My nights are mostly peaceful.
Lol por alguna extraña razón no sueño. Sólo me voy a dormir y me despierto. Y si sueño, no puedo recordar el sueño en absoluto después de unos minutos cuando me despierto. La última vez que tuve un sueño fue hace dos semanas, pero no puedo recordarlo en absoluto. Mis noches son en su mayoría pacíficas.

[ day 23/100 - describe someone you know. ] My grandfather's face tells the story of a war hero. He sloppy, tired eyes remind me of tired puppies with overgrown eyebrows at the top. His nose is large to match his personality. His lips have grown thicker and more bulging with his grey mustache reaching both corners. He is a heavy set man that reminds me of Santa Claus with his warm and welcoming presence. His body aged and old that shows he has worked very hard to establish his family. He is my papa.
La cara de mi abuelo cuenta la historia de un héroe de guerra. Los ojos descuidados y cansados me recuerdan a los cachorros cansados con las cejas de ojos demasiado crecido en la parte superior. Su nariz es grande para que coincida con su personalidad. Sus labios se han vuelto más gruesos y más abultados con su bigote gris llegando a ambas esquinas. Es un hombre pesado que me recuerda a Santa Claus con su cálida y acogedora presencia. Su cuerpo envejecido y viejo que demuestra que ha trabajado muy duro para establecer su familia. Es mi papá

60-Days of Languages 💟
60-Days of Languages   💟 [ day 11/100 - Read an article aloud and explain the main idea ]
Conozcamos a Peter      ¡Hola! Yo soy Peter. Tengo 7 años  y vivo con mis padres en San Francisco. Estoy en el segundo grado. En los Estados Unidos lo llamamos escuela elemental. Yo amo ver dibujos animados y jugar videojuegos. Mis programas favoritos son Dora la Exploradora y Calle Sésamo. Me gustan porque son divertidos y enseñan cosas nuevas.
     Yo tengo un hermano y una hermana. Mi hermano tiene 17 años y está en el último año de la preparatoria. Él ama los deportes e ir a fiestas. Él nunca me lleva a fiestas pero algunas veces nos lleva a mi hermana y a mí a la playa. Mi hermana se llama Jane. Tiene 11 años. A ella le gusta leer y jugar fútbol. Lee uno o dos libros cada semana y ve todos los partidos de fútbol por televisión.  Ella se mete en problemas en la escuela todo el tiempo porque no hace sus tareas. Pretende poner atención en la clase pero lee sus libros debajo del escritorio. Mis padres algunas veces hacen que mi hermano le ayude con sus tareas. Muy a menudo, él simplemente hace las tareas de ella para poder salir con su novia.
     Yo también tengo una novia. Su nombre es Shenaaz. Ella se mudó con sus padres del Líbano a San Francisco. Ella es muy linda. Habla francés y árabe y está aprendiendo inglés. Ella todavía no tiene sus libros, entonces nos sentamos juntos en la clase y yo comparto mis libros con ella. El fin de semana, ella viene a mi casa y ve películas con mi familia y yo. A sus padres les gusta que ella pase tiempo en nuestra casa porque puede aprender inglés con nosotros. En casa, ellos sólo hablan francés o árabe.
     Cuando crezca, yo quiero ser policía y ayudar a atrapar criminales. Mi profesora dice que yo tendré que estudiar duro para ser más inteligente que los criminales. Los policías en la televisión parecen muy inteligentes, por lo que yo trato de sacar ‘A’ en todo, para ser inteligente como ellos. Mi papa es muy inteligente también. Él es mecánico. Puede arreglar cualquier carro en el mundo. Él me dijo que tuvo que estudiar muy duro también. Si yo no me hago policía, quiero hacerme mecánico y arreglar los carros de las personas. Supongo que tendré que parar de jugar videojuegos tanto y estudiar para poder ser inteligente y ayudar a las personas cuando crezca.
Let's meet Peter      Hi! I’m Peter. I am 7 years old and live with my parents in San Francisco. I am in the second grade. In the United States, we call that elementary school. I love watching cartoons and playing video games. My favorite shows are Dora the Explorer and Sesame Street. I like them because they are fun to watch and teach you new things.       I have a brother and a sister. My brother is 17 and is attending his last year of High School. He loves sports and going to parties. He never takes me to any parties but sometimes he takes my sister and me to the beach. My sister’s name is Jane. She is 11. She loves reading and playing soccer. She reads one or two books every week and watches every soccer game on TV. She gets into trouble at school all the time because she doesn’t do her homework. She pretends to pay attention in class but reads her books under the desk. My parents sometimes make my brother help her with her homework. Very often he just does her homework for her so that he can go out with his girlfriend.       I have a girlfriend too. Her name is Shenaaz. She moved to San Francisco with her parents from Lebanon. She is very pretty. She speaks French and Arabic and is learning English. She doesn’t have her books yet so we sit together in class and I share my books with her.  On the weekend, she comes over and watches movies with me and my family. Her parents like her to spend time at our house because she can learn English with us. At home, they only speak French or Arabic.       When I grow up I want to be a policeman and help catch criminals. My teacher says I will have to study hard so I will be smarter than the criminals. The cops on TV seem really smart, so I make sure I get all ‘A’s in everything so I can be smart like them. My Dad is really smart too. He is a mechanic. He can fix any car in the world. He told me he had to study really hard too. If I don’t become a cop, I want to become a mechanic and fix people’s cars. I guess I will have to stop playing video games so much and study so that I can be smart and help people when I grow up.
[ Main Idea ] -  In this short article/passage it introduces you to Peter, his family, and his ambitious

day 25/100 Write about your favorite sport or sport you practice.
My favorite sport is Track. I really love to run. Even though I am not on the track team at school, I really like to run after school. I find it very accelerating. Since I am a competitive person, I like racing against other people. I like to run long distances and do field events. I also really like to dance. I particularly like hip hop, contemporary, and modern dance. Dance is such a creative way to express yourself. The movements can vary from fluid to hard and angled. I find it so interesting to watch other people dance and find new forms of dance.
Mi deporte favorito es Track. Realmente me encanta correr. A pesar de que no estoy en el equipo de la pista en la escuela, realmente me gusta correr después de la escuela. Lo encuentro muy acelerado. Como soy una persona competitiva, me gusta competir contra otras personas. Me gusta correr largas distancias y hacer eventos de campo. También me gusta mucho la danza. Me gusta especialmente el hip hop, el contemporáneo y el baile moderno. La danza es una forma tan creativa de expresarse. Los movimientos pueden variar de fluido a duro y anguloso. Me parece muy interesante ver a otros gente bailar y encontrar nuevas formas de baile.
day 26: Watch a film or episode of a series in TG (with subs)
Today I watched CoCo in Spanish subtitles and I learned a little bit more about Mexican culture and traditions.
day 27: Describe a place that makes you feel good.
ENGLISH
A place that makes me feel good is being in my bed. I am a very lazy kid and my bed is really comfy. It is the only place I can really relax at. I find being in a bed of my own as a personal home to me. I can wrap myself in my blankets and feel the warmth radiating from my snuggly blankets.
SPANISH
Un lugar que me hace sentir bien es estar en mi cama. Soy un niño muy perezoso y mi cama es muy cómoda. Es el único lugar en el que puedo realmente relajarse. Me encuentro en una cama propia como un hogar personal para mí. Puedo envolverme en mis mantas y sentir el calor irradiando de mis mantas acurrucadas.
