Hey Luis, I was hoping you could help me out with this.
I'm suppose to finish this sentence in spanish.
El departamento esta'..(in front of the tall building at San Isidro # 145, not far from downtown).
and here's what I got....
El departmento esta delante del alto edificio en San Isidro numero ciento cuarenta y cinco, no lejos de centro.
Is that right? And if it's right, how do you know whether alto comes before or after edificio?
I think the main problem I'm having is using el/la when there is no "the" in the english version of the sentence. But, you always use those or un/una, right?
Thanks,
Cam
P.S. This book sucks. I have to look up 1/4 of the words online b/c they aren't in the glossary. :banghead:

That should be right im about 98% sure is just that i dont know what you have been taught, Im actually translating if word for word. I dont even want to get started cuz im so against the way teachers tell you how to do stuff !! but whatever :smoker:
by the way i dunno if you are supposed to spell numbers larger than 10 so just check up on that.

no prob
but you do know what the fee is for translating right?
I charge this companie just for translating phone calls $40 per hour so for you is gonna be more like $200 because you are not insured against the mexican mafia.
If u want to buy the insurance is $1500 and then every work you need translated will cost you around $35 an hour so it is actually better just to get the insurance.
