Spanish slang help??
Hey, I'm American looking to improve my spanish skills (i've studied for 4 years so far and going for a 5th here in high school. I'm 17 years old by the way.) It is difficult to understand the native speakers here in town mainly due to very thick accents and the obscure slang. I just figured out last month what 'plata' was referring to heh.. and I thought they just really liked silver! What are some common youth phrases? Any help would be appreciated, please contact me. I can also help anyone who wants to practice their english. Thanks!
Now, let me try to roughly translate..
Hola, soy americana y me gustaria mejorar mi espanol. Ha estudido por 4 anos en mi escuela secundaria. Tengo 17 anos. Es dificil a entender los habladores nativos aqui en mi ciudad por que tienen accentos y se usan palabras extranas (como 'slang') En el mes pasado, yo aprendi que significa 'plata'... Pense que los jovenes estuvieron hablando del metal plata! Que son algunos frases mas comun de los jovenes? Por favor, ayudame! Escribame una carta si quieres hablar, y tambien yo puedo ayudar con el ingles. Muchas gracias!

Re:Translation
I could help you with Italian. I study translation, but not from English. My English level isn't proficient, but if the text to translate isn't too difficult, I might be able to help you.
Feel free to contact me.

need translations from Slovenian
I'm a 20-year-old Italian boy. I attend the University for Interpreters and Translators in Trieste, where I study French Slovene. I have to do some translations from Slovene into Italian, but there are some difficult points and I haven't got a good dictionary. Could someone help me with this translations (even to English, French, German, Spanish or Esperanto, if you don't know Italian). I'd be glad to help you with Italian or French in exchange.
Could someone tell me if s/he knows a good dictionary from Slovene to Italian (preferably), French or English?
Thanks a lot

Re:Re:Feeb
Hi there,
Many thanks for your post.
Yes, it's a complete sentence, it's from a videogame audio line (Deux Ex2) and there's a lot of slang in it. The issue is that I haven't got any context or situation for these lines.
Please, feel free to ask me for anything about Spanish language if you want.
Cheers,
Oscar.

Re:Latvian Sentence
Hi! It's not Latvian, but Russian (in transliteration) and means "I know that that's you". ("Ik weet, dat dat jij is"). Brad

Feeb
Hi there
Please, I need some help about the following expression I've found in a translation:
"Yo, be ready to jacket this feeb..."
I can't say much about the context 'cause it's a single sentece.
Does anyone know what a "feeb" is? (could it be a non quite clever/skillful person?)
And any translation into Spanish for the whole sentence above?
Many thanks in advance. Regards, Oscar.

Re:Re: How to greet
That's a great help, thank you very much! Another question: when there is more than one character for a sound (i.e. tet and tav, sin and samech) is there a general rule as to which should be used? Are there any differences between the pronunciations of such letters, such as in the tongue position? And how about aleph and ayin? I run into the same situation there.
