Dicionário Espanhol - Português

I can speak two languages fluently. El lenguaje que aprendi primero era espanol porque mis padres son Mexicanos. Then I learned how to speak English from my older cousins and of course from my kindergarten teacher, Mrs. White, as well as, the numerous teachers I have come across in my life. Tambien en mi escuela de primaria habia una specialista que ayudaba a los estudiantes hispanos hablar ingles y ella me ayudo mucho. This specialist became one of our close family friends and I still know her to this day. Something funny that I just want to randomly note is that she recently went back to college and it so happened that she was taking the same history course I was taking but at a different time. So anyways, I bumped into her one day and we got to chat a bit about school once again, except this time she wasn't helping me with my English but asking me about studying help for our Ancient Civilizations exam. It's funny how things work out, we can always end up helping those who helped us when we were younger.

I'm better at speaking fluently in English of course since my whole education has basically been in English. The Spanish I have learned has been due to talking with my family and experiencing Latin music and novelas--which is probably one of the best ways to learn how to speak a language because you're immersed in the culture. In addition, the 3 years I took of Spanish in high school helped me with my Spanish literacy.

It was pretty neat because I had the same Spanish teacher for those 3 years and pretty much the same classmates for all those years. This was because we all went from Spanish Speakers 1 to Spanish Speakers 2 and then ended with AP Spanish Literature and Mr. Guitierrez was the only one who taught those 3 courses. I guess I was a bit of a teacher's pet in that class. I still remember this one day when one of the kids in my class said, "If Diana doesn't have the assignment then that means the assignment doesn't exist." hahaha! He said this because our teacher would make us keep a list of all the assignments we did and then at the end of the grading period we would go over the list and turn the assignments into him in a certain order. So I guess that day Mr. Guitierrez was going over the list and had asked if we did an assignment and I didn't have it written down on my list so the classmate responded with the matter-of-fact statement that if I didn't have it then it didn't exist and therefore no one should be held accountable for that assignment. :p

Then last year I took a semester of Latin since it was one of the honors courses I could choose from. I am definitely not fluent in Latin and I can barely remember all the inflections and conjugations that I learned that semester. Oh my goodness, there were soooo many... my brain would hurt from trying to retain them all! However, I do know how to pronounce the words with the letter "V" the way the ancient Romans used to, so I find that special :p I guess I shall leave one of my favorite Latin phrases for those of you who would understand it: "Fallaces sunt rerum."

Next, there's the little tidbits of other languages I have been taught and can speak. They're definitely not impressive phrases but I think it's cool to know how to say certain things in other languages. I know how to say yes in Romanian (da), Portuguese (sim), German (ya), French (oui) ...haha. Also, there's the small phrases or words I can always use on people from other countries: "Guten tag" (German), "Ciao", (Italian), "czesc" (Polish), "lunettes", "bonne nuit" (French).

I've also learned quite a number of Portuguese words and phrases since I've always been fascinated by anything that relates to Brazil (in this case, being the language). So I always use: "Qual e o seu nome?" "Quantos anos voce tem?" "Obrigado" "sim/nao" "isso!"...etc etc. I hope to go to Brazil for this coming World Cup so I'm trying to learn as much Portuguese as I can (I'm also take a semester of Portuguese so I'm very excited about that).

Overall, I just think it's totally awesome to be able to speak or understand as many languages as you can.

Yo listen up here's a story, about a little guy who lives in a blue world. And all day and all night and everything he sees is just blue like him, inside and outside. Blue his house with a blue little window and a blue corvette and everything is blue for him and himself and everybody around cause he aint got no body to listen, to listen...I'm blue da ba dee da ba die.

Eifel 65--Blue (da ba de)

Yep, this is the song. Random, I know...but this is definitely one of the songs I must always sing the lyrics out loud to.

There's a lot of other songs I could mention but this was the first one that popped into my mind :)

The sporting event which I get the most excited about is definitely the World Cup! I guess I enjoy it because I can watch every single game on my television since it occurs during the summer and there's nothing really keeping me from being able to watch every single match--and it definitely helps that I can record the matches that come on while I'm sleeping.

I get really excited seeing teams from different countries playing against each other. Also, this sporting event is one of those that gets watched by people all over the world so that's pretty dang cool. Not only that, but there are a ton of good-lookin' soccer players...just saying :)

In the World Cups I get to watch a lot of my favorite players...such as Cristiano Ronaldo for the Portuguese team :D In previous World Cups I was able to watch Ronaldo play, and he is freaking awesome...not only because he is Brazilian but because he is an amazing soccer player.

The other reason I enjoy this sporting event the most is because it's something my whole family and a lot of my friends get excited about. I can talk to them about it, can argue with them about teams, can get all emotional about a match, etc. Overall, it's a great sporting event and I hope to be able to go to the upcoming World Cup in Brazil.

"Pizza in the morning, pizza in the evening, pizza at super time..." haha, yep.

Adam Sandler.
-Because his movies always seem to make me laugh and he has this voice that just gets me every time.

My cousin Jesse.
-Haha, oh man...he's a funny one. He's that person that makes you laugh and annoys everyone at the same time. I don't think there has been a time when Jesse was around and he didn't make someone laugh. He's probably the funniest person I know.

Jim Carrey.
-He's just dang funny! Especially with all his facial expressions and craziness.

I was thinking this was going to be a very difficult question because I tend to like movies a lot and have too many favorites...but then one movie popped up in my mind that stood above the rest--Toy Story 3!

It was such a great movie! It made me get teary eyed several times and brought back a ton of memories. The Toy Story films are all so wonderful and really relatable...especially since I grew up with them.

In the end when Andy gave away all his toys and played with them for the last time, I thought that scene was so sweet. Overall, I love this movie and can't express it enough.

I was thinking my favorite color green but that wont look good every day. So black--because no matter what situation you can always wear black. It won't stand out too much in certain occasions...and if you need to go to a funeral then you're obviously prepared. Also, you can add any colored jewelry to make your outfit pop if you're wearing black. AND then there's the "slimming capabilities" of wearing black :P

water fountains :). vegas lights. night time. what isn't there to like?

Jackson 5, need I explain more? hehe, then it'd be the Jackson 5, plus 1 :p
