Help with Spanish (second advent) [!OT]

[mrwiseman]

Of coruse, but I was verifying correctness, and "tira humor?stica" (eqv. "comic") is acceptable

Oh well, it's too late now. But i did perfectly on the test. I should get that C i need.

If you are studying Spanish and need help, are considering studying Spanish and are looking for advice, have questions on Spanish, or would like something translated to or from Spanish, post it here, and I'll help you.

Ahh yes, the Spanish GCSE era. Ok, confession, i did play "ill" on the mock exam, but when it came to the real thing, i spent a week solidly revising the same text over and over (cant remember what it was).
But when i came in for the test, the spanish assistant kinda gave me the impression that...it was all wrong (minutes before the test).
So, when it came to the awaited minute, i got 1/4 of the way through, and then with fear, my mind went blank.
SuX0rz. I was SPAIN'd.

oh yeah, i forgot to mention, i got a C for Spanish, must have done well in the other tests. Even though i see Spanish as a dismissed language, as ive dropped it in favour of japanese, i can still remember a majority of the words i learnt.

You could've asked here for help...

Everyone, what's your Spanish level? I'm running a survey.

If you want to test your level, you can try reading these lines (although I'm positive there are about 1345 better tests in the Net). If you can understand them correctly and you think you are able to write similar stuff, consider that your level.

None: &lt;Nothing&gt;

Apprentice: ?Hola! ?Qu? tal?

Basic: ?Qu? d?a es hoy? Hoy es martes. Hace fr?o.

Intermediate: Intentar? jugar a Sakura Taisen con una gu?a que alguien escribi?.

Advanced: Recuerdo cuando cre? Granaboard. Mi intenci?n era hacer un foro social para la gente del foro de Grandia II de Dreamcast en GameFAQs, porque CJayC era un capullo (*) que no nos dejaba hablar de lo que nos daba la gana.
((*): This word is not understood in every country. Don't worry about it)

Expert: El caso es que no s? por qu? hay tanta gente ignorante que desprecia el anime s?lo porque "son dibujos". Me gustar?a que lo tomaran en serio y que vieran una serie o dos, a ver si siguen pensando lo mismo. El condicionamiento cultural hace que buenos productos, a veces soberbios, como las series de animaci?n japonesa, queden discriminadas y relegadas al sector infantil (cuando, adem?s, la mayor?a de estas series no est?n dirigidas a menores de 15 a?os).

Master: Una particularidad de los idiomas de Europa (al menos de la mayor?a de ellos), que no se da en idiomas de ra?ces distintas como el japon?s o el chino, es la inversi?n de sujeto y verbo que se produce en algunos tipos de preguntas. Incluso idiomas considerados de diferentes familias, como el ingl?s y las lenguas romance, comparten esta particularidad. Y no es la ?nica; hay que tener en cuenta que ya es de por s? muy importante que compartamos alfabeto, numeraci?n, y el 80% de las ra?ces de las palabras, como es el caso del espa?ol y el ingl?s.

Pwnage: Asimismo que vos dar? licencia como por la presente vos la doy para que de nuestras islas Espa?ola y San Juan y Cuba y Santiago podais llevar a la dicha tierra los caballos y yeguas y otros ganados que quisierais y por bien tuviereis sin que en ellos vos sea puesto embargo ni impedimento alguno.
