I received this in an email:

"Yo no he descartado que tu seas mi novia."

I'm not quite positive of the exact translation. Is it to do with the idea of not giving up on me being his girlfriend??

Thanks for your help!!!!!

Does anyone know why I guy I know speaks normal English usually but then a sort of accented English with his family on the phone? Just wondering why that was.

My guess is that in India they speak English differently as though it is almost a different language.

In Spain , the Galician and Catalan languages are cherished & spoken proudly by those regions. w/radio, TV , books & media & education in those languages. These Latin derivatives are alive & well.

What exactly happened in France with the Provencal language of the South, this ancient latinate tongue once spoken all along the coast and southern portion of France.?? Why did it get shunned & ignored. Why don't these natives of Nice, marseilles, Arles, and all of southern France speak it proudly and use it fluently?? It is a beautiful-sounding Latin language, far nice than the stuffy nasal Gothic sound of regular French. Why even in Italy, regional languages, like Venizian, Sardinian, etc. are still around and are not shunned.

Anyone care to explain the demise of Provencal in France, once so widespread and now nearly dead?? And in France today, where would one hear it spoken naturally??? Any ideas????

A baffling puzzle - among the Latinate derivatives.

Hi guys
Is there anything wrong about this sentence "I ran out of my pills, so I had to go buy some"? Is it ok to say so, or does something need to be changed or dropped out? Thanks

1) The city of Quito sounded interesting to me because it is the largest city of Ecuador.

2) I wanted to find out what city life was like for the people of Ecuador.

3) After the Spanish conquered the city around 1534 they turned the city into a major religious center.

How do I say these in Spanish? Thanks for any help!

Can some one translate this for me please:
風と一緒に心地好く　楽しめる速度でこれからも
CAN'T 手に追えない事件　抱えきれない瞬間
時々はあるよ　でも笑顔絶やさずに歩いてる
SO BUT たまに火がついて　激情をするけど
ちょっとポシティブでいたいから
自分をおさえこまずに
でもね?過激なシナリオ達は
愛すべき未来を連れて来るよ
BLOWING 風が誘う
ため息を吹き飛ばしたら　君らしい速度で行けばいい
きっと　素敵な想い
限りない空に　両手広げ GETTING MY WAY
ねぇ　どんな時も
自分らしく生きることは　簡単じゃないけどこれからも
BLOWING 頬をなでる
風と一緒に心地好く　楽しめる速度で行けばいい
ずっと　笑顔のままで
終わらない夢を　握りしめて TRUST ME MY WAY

Thank You
