My daughter is working on her summer Spanish homework. The teacher wants them to write a letter of introduction including activities, sports, likes/dislikes etc. DD runs cross-country but we can't figure out how to translate that to Spanish. Any help would be MUCH appreciated!

Thanks!

Not sure I'll be any help.... do some computer word programs have the ability to translate ?? Have never tried it,seems like have seen it.

Here's a funnie on this topic and true, Had a family member married a lady, most of her family spanish, thought would be nice to include both languages, my resource ended up being a nice man I found at a discount store, don't know why I didn't just ask her, Silly me (again) She was afterwards thankful all were included, Great Party!!

Here but the translation may not be totally correct with syntax and such but it is a good place to translate individual words. If you cut and paste from babel fish her teacher may know so a word of caution against that.

I can't teach because of my feet now, but I wanted to recertify just in case I get to the point I could sub. I took a beginning Spanish course on line which was definitely not a beginning course. I can't rememeber the name of the on-line translation site I went to, but it was the only way I passed(with an A). There were a few mistakes, but it was okay with me just to get through that experience.
