I know that CDT in Spanish means "los trabajos manuales", but if you want to say the CDT building (i.e. a building in school which houses all the Design Technology classrooms) what would you say in Spanish?

They say "unorganized" and "uninterested" It is "disorganized" and "disinterested".
Are they ignorant or did they flunk English?

Today I looked into the bathroom mirror and I couldn’t believe what I saw. The girl that was standing there wasn’t the same girl who I saw just a couple of months ago. The girl I saw today was all black and blue. She looked tired, like she hadn’t gotten sleep in years. Her eyes were swollen and filled with sadness. Her hair was a mess and she looked too thin. I couldn’t believe that the girl I saw was me. I asked myself how I got like this and I could only think of one answer. You. How could something that started out so wonderful end up like this? Why did you change all of a sudden?

En espanol:
El crecimiento de San Miguel fue lento, porque aún estaban muy aislados; sus únicos vecinos eran del pueblo de Isla Mujeres, pero mientras los pobladores fueron buscando las mejores tierras y así organizar su nueva vida en esta isla. Los primeros colonos mes¬tizos se apropiaran de las mejores tierras, las más cercanas al puerto y cabecera de la isla y se repartirán según el Decreto parcelas que irían desde 10 a 200 has. El último grupo, el de los mayas pobres será relegado a un lugar conocido como El Cedral y allí pudieron organizarse para la subsistencia y la formación de una sociedad periférica a la que se estaba dando en San Miguel.

This is what the paper says in espanol:
Se recomendaba el observar las medidas de los pueblos, con calles de doce varas de ancho y manzanas cuadradas de ciento veinte varas de largo. La cuadrícula del pueblo debía tener en el centro la plaza y ésta debía tener como principales edificios: la iglesia, la casa municipal, el cuartel y la escuela. Así se trazaba un pueblo según la tradición española.
I translated thus:

As a complement to this Decree, it was indicated that the ejido (peasants) of the town of San Miguel would have an extension of five thousand castilian varas (.84 meters) per side, which was the maximum determined according to the agreement of the Legislative Assembly, April, 8th, 1844. They recomended to themselves that they layout the measurements of the towns, with streets twelve varas (.84 meters) wide and apples squared 120 varas (.84 meters) in length. The grid of the town ought to be in the center the plaza and this ought to have the main buildings: the church

Como complemento a este Decreto, se señalaba que el ejido del pueblo de San Miguel tendría una extensión de cinco mil varas castellanas por lado, que era el máximo que se determinaba según el acuerdo de la Asamblea Legislativa del 8 de abril de 1844.

I translated as

As an object (complemento=object) of this Decree, it was indicated that the ejido (indigenous people) of the town of San Miguel would have one extension of five thousand Castilian varas (.84 meters) by side, that was the maximum that was determined according to the agreement of the Legislative Assembly of the 8 of April of 1844.

In the summer, my family and I are going to China. We will get there by plane. I will be there on July eight, and we will leave on August first. We will be visiting Hong Kong and Beijing. I will need to bring a camera, money, and entertainment. For clothes and accessories, I will bring a pair of sunglasses, a hat, shorts, and shirts. When we are there, we will go to the festivals, visit the museums and we will go the shopping centers.

I hear this a lot from Americans who are pro-war:

"You'd be speaking German/Japanese if it wasn't for blah blah blah."

When I hear that, my reaction is, "Cool. Maybe German isn't all that great, but I'd like to speak it. Japanese is an amazing language, and the people in Japan really respect their language. The letters are so beautiful."

Anyway, if you just restrict your thought to one language, you're obviously missing out on the whole picture.

Whoever can't speak a second language, doesn't know their own. You're so trapped in your own language that you can't even be aware of it.
