Re:Re:Re:American interested in films with English subtitles
Since you are studying Spanish, I would like to recommend
Los Amantes del Circulo Polar (Lovers of the Arctic Circle).
I found it at Blockbuster, and have seen it 3 times!
Another favorite is Run Lola Run (German).
My all-time favorite is Heaven ( from the same director as Lola, Tom Tykwer, but done in Italian).
Enjoy !

Englisg learning Spanish - One exercise with answer
Language pair: English; Spanish
Try to do it! It is easy
Charlie Chaplin Biography - Early years –Second issue - With help
This is an exercise for English native, Spanish practicing.
I would like to receive 5 questions in Spanish about this text, with the corresponding answer. I will check and explain your work.
Charles Spencer Chaplin was born in London, England, on April 16th 1889.
His father was a versatile vocalist and actor; and his mother, known
under the stage name of Lily Harley, was an attractive actress and singer, who gained a reputation for her work in the light opera field.
Charlie was thrown on his own resources before he reached the age of ten as the early death of his father and the subsequent illness of his mother made it necessary for Charlie and his brother, Sydney, to fend for themselves.
Having inherited natural talents from their parents, the youngsters took to the stage as the best opportunity for a career. Charlie made his professional debut as a member of a juvenile group called “The Eight Lancashire Lads” and rapidly won popular favors as an outstanding tap dancer.
HELP: This is help for this exercise. Here follows some words:
Born: Verb Nacer. Yo nací en Caracas, Tú naciste en Europa,
Charles nació en Londres, Nosotros nacimos en China, ellos nacieron En Bombai. .¿Dónde nacistes tu? ¿Dónde nació él? I
It is past tense (tiempo Pasado, llamado también Pretérito)
Your father WAS: Su padre fue; Past tense of to be. In this sense the Condition of being ac actor was almost all his life; was not a temporary Situation like : Your father was at the beech
Known: Conocida, from verb “Conocer” .This is Participio form
It is: conocer, conociendo, conocido(a) Infinitive, Gerund and Participle.
Thrown on: ? similar to “Crecer” growing up I am not sure
Reached: past tense verb Alcanzar, means alcanzó
Death: muerte. Here is a nome, not a verb.
Can use like verb “Morir”. Su padre murió.
Illness: enfermedad. Ill: enfermo(a).
Can use like verb: Su madre enfermó
To fend: ? It is similar to keep oneself: Mantener(se)
Charlie MADE: verb “Hacer” but more like the sense of Do .
It is different of CONSTRUIR, ej un edificio,
ELABORAR, una Torta(cake)
In this sense, Hacer, is more intellectual.
RAPIDLY: it is an adverb, with –ly (prefijo)at the end the translation es –mente
Rapidamente. If we say lovely, it means: amorosamente.
Won: Past tense of verb …….ganar?
My best Regards,
Mary

When one receive the house that is buying, the floor has not ceramic installed and there is necessary to order the fabrication of grilles for the windows and the principal door, for protection.
It is a casualty because my house and my block has the same number, which 1s 14. I had thought named my house “Las 14”
In the colonial period, the Spanish from Spain who has baby with white of colony was named “Mantuano” and this is the name selected for the Urbanization La Mantuana”. It is like a Hospital for crazy: quite and alone.
My house has three rooms, two bathrooms, a living room, a kitchen a patio
and garage for two cars.
I have almost all the necessary appliances, because I had bought some years ago, because at his moment is very expensive to buy the new one.
I can maintenance my home and my daughter but I am short for medical expense, vacation or Cultural events or other not previous considered expenses.

Re:Re:El Molino Rojo
A Lupin:(De Mary Aponte )REF: El molino Rojo
He leido tu mensaje el día 13 de Julio, donde me informas que has "salido de vacacion" El inconveniente es una palabra de género masculino, no es "la inconveniente"
La informacion de El molino Rojo la leí en mi revista de Televisión por cable y la tomé como tema para comenzar la conversacion. El ambiente de esa película es muy BOHEMIO, como se acostumbraba en Francia para la época y , de acuerdo a lo que leí, el problema de la cantante era que debia decidir entre conservar el amor o poder seguir siendo una estrella importante. // English:
I had read this information about "The rouge moulin" in my cable TV magazine and I took it as theme for to begin the conversation. The film atmosphere is very /bohemy / as was usual at France at this time/ epoca? //and, according to I has read the problem that had the singer was she had to decide between to keep the love or CAN BEING ABLE ?? and important star.
From one to twenty ¿how many points I have in this english text, My teacher?
