Can someone please proof read this?! Remember, I am a total n00b and have only been studying Spanish for 4 months... so it may be really simple/bad. I just need what is there to be corrected in terms of grammar etc.

Thanks!

Una vez, cuando tenía la niňa, para vacaciones iba a Florida. Iba con mi madre y mis abuelos. Antes, corría en la playa. Jugaba con otro niňos. Me gustaba nadar en la piscina y me gustaba tomar el helado. Florida era caliente y sympático. La playa era sucio. El hotel era grande.

El verano pasado, fui a Ontario. Fui con mi novio. Visitamos nuestros padres y nuestros amigos. Fuimos a la playa y comimos muy comida. Fuimos de camping con nuestros amigos. Nadamos a la playa y vimos los lobos. Sacé muy fotos! Visitamos por dos semana y regresamos a casa.

Todos los días me levanto temprano. Me cepillo los dientes después de comer y luego me ducho. Más tarde, voy a la universidad y estudio para mi clases. Por la noche, regreso a casa y como comida con mi novio. Estudio espaňol y navego por Internet. Finalmente, duermo.

Al aňo que viene, para vacaciones, voy a ir a Cuba. Voy a nadar y voy a sacar fotos. Voy a ir con mi novio. Vamos a estar en Cuba por la semana. Vamos a escuchar música y vamos a bailar. Mi madre voy a comprar una tarjeta. Mi novio voy a comprar los pantalones cortos.

___________

I REALLY appreciate the help!

EDIT:

Just to make sure I am doing this right, the first paragraph is supposed to be past imperfect. The next is past tense, the next is present and the last one is future "I am going to".

Thanks in advance for the help!

Is it that bad you can't even understand it!? WTF? I didn't think I sucked that bad.

Una vez, cuando tenía la niňa, para vacaciones iba a Florida. Iba con mi madre y mis abuelos. Antes, corría en la playa. Jugaba con otro niňos. Me gustaba nadar en la piscina y me gustaba tomar el helado. Florida era caliente y sympático. La playa era sucio. El hotel era grande.

One time, when I was a child, for vacation I went to Florida. I went with my mother and my grandparents. Before, I used to walk on the beach. I used to play with other children. I used to like to swim in the pool and I used to like to drink ice cream. Florida was hot and nice. The beach was dirty. The hotel was large.

El verano pasado, fui a Ontario. Fui con mi novio. Visitamos nuestros padres y nuestros amigos. Fuimos a la playa y comimos muy comida. Fuimos de camping con nuestros amigos. Nadamos a la playa y vimos los lobos. Sacé muy fotos! Visitamos por dos semana y regresamos a casa.

This past summer, I went to Ontario. I went with my boyfriend. We visited out parents and our friends. We went to the beach and ate a lot of food. We went camping with our friends. We swam at the beach and saw wolves. I took a lot of photos. We visited for 2 weeks and returned home.

Todos los días me levanto temprano. Me cepillo los dientes después de comer y luego me ducho. Más tarde, voy a la universidad y estudio para mi clases. Por la noche, regreso a casa y como comida con mi novio. Estudio espaňol y navego por Internet. Finalmente, duermo.

Every day I wake up early. I brush my teeth after I eat and later I shower. Much later, I go to the university and study for my classes. In the evening, a return home and eat food with my boyfriend. I study Spanish and surf the Internet. Finally, I sleep.

Al aňo que viene, para vacaciones, voy a ir a Cuba. Voy a nadar y voy a sacar fotos. Voy a ir con mi novio. Vamos a estar en Cuba por la semana. Vamos a escuchar música y vamos a bailar. Mi madre voy a comprar una tarjeta. Mi novio voy a comprar los pantalones cortos.

Next year, for vacation, I am going to go to Cuba. I am going to swim and I am going to take photos. I am going to go with my boyfriend. We are going to be in Cuba for a week. We are going to listen to music and we are going to dance. I am going to by my mother a card. I am going to buy my boyfriend shorts.

You don't suck, and I actually got what you meant, but your expressions are still very "Anglophone", which is only natural given your background.

How much have you been reading in Spanish? Try to learn not the words, but how the expressions are used in general. For example, "When I was 5 years old" is, indeed, "Cuando yo tenia 5 años" - but this only works for numbers. If you want to say "When I was a small kid", though the construction is the same in English, you have to say "Cuando yo era pequeña/una niñ" or something of that sort.

ps.: You're using the imperfect too often. In the beginning, stick to the perfect past unless (1) you see them using the imperfect past in key expressions, such as the one I mentioned or (2) when you can use the progressive in English.

The first paragraph is supposed to be all in past imperfect (according to the assignment). She is checking to see if we understand how to conjugate properly. However, my structure/grammar etc. still needs to be good too.

Other than the cuando yo tenia 5 año part, is there anything obvious that should be changed or adjusted?

I am getting rather frustrated with this class. The book is utter shite, and the prof is Argentinian and has her own dialect which further confuses/complicates things since we were originally learning Spain Spanish. Not to mention that we are going through it all super fast. Maybe once I take it during a normal semester it wont be so bad.

Cuando era niña, una vez viaje a Florida con mi madre y mis abuelos. Antes, solía caminar por la playa y jugar con los otros niños. Me gustaba nadar en la piscina y comer helados (drink ice cream?) Florida estaba caliente y placentero. La playa estaba sucia. El hotel era grande.

El verano pasado, fui a Ontario con mi novio. Visitamos nuestros padres y nuestros amigos. Fuimos a la playa y comimos mucho. Fuimos de camping con nuestros amigos. Nadamos en la playa y vimos los lobos. ¡Tomé muchas fotos! Visitamos por dos semanas y luego regresamos a casa.

Al año que viene, para vacaciones, iré a Cuba. Voy a nadar y voy a tomar fotos. Voy a ir con mi novio. Vamos a estar en Cuba por una semana. Vamos a escuchar música y vamos a bailar. Le voy a comprar una tarjeta a mi madre y unos pantalones cortos a mi novio.

i kept most of your sentence structures the same,
but even your english sentences don't flow quite that well....


i recommend wordreferences.com

you can use conjugador for presente, imperfecto, pretérito, etcétera

also, their forum is the best!
so many linguists. they have saved me a couple of times

also, RAE.ES bookmark that.
if it's not in la RAE, it's not a word.

una más para cerrar la jornada

Como yo te adoro
Si de mí te acuerdas
Como yo de ti

LOL! I originally wrote comer el helado, and my prof corrected me and said that it is to drink ice cream in Spanish.
