Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens...

No that´s not quite what I´m getting at...

Thought I´d start a random conversation about what people like so we can all practice and learn smiley - smiley and get to know each other...

So here goes.

Me favorito deporte es futbol, jugar y mirar. Tambien, me gusta jugar baloncesto y vóleibol. Cuando puedo, practico artes marciales.

Amo escuchar a musica. Ahora estoy escuchando a Faithless, pasa el Internet de Australia - una ´mix-tape´ de Triple J (me favorito estacion de la radio en Australia).

My favourite sport is football, to play and to watch. Also, I like to play netball and volleyball. When I can, I ´practice´ martial arts.

I love to listen to music. Now I am listening to Faithless, over the Internet - a mix-tape from Triple J (my favourite radio station in Australia).

------

Sorry if the grammar´s dodgy, could somebody please correct it?

Ahora, nos habla te gusta que!

Now, tell us what you like!

In Spanish, the adjective almost always goes after the verb: "mi deporte favorito". "When I can" is better expressed as "Cuando es posible, practico las artes marciales" - remember the 'las'! smiley - smiley

In the sense of liking very much, "me gusta mucho" (or 'gustan' if the thing liked is plural) is usually used. And "over the Internet" would be "por Internet".

(Sorry if I've been over-picky; was that what you had in mind? If not, I'll tone it down a bit in future smiley - blush The rest was fine!)

Para mí, me gustan muchíssimas las idiomas. Hablo y estudio inglés, francés y español (inglés es mi lengua materna, pero español es mi idioma más fuerte de los otros), y cuando vaya a la universidad, !me gustaría estudiar italiano también!

Me gusta leer - probablamente a causa de mi pasión para las idiomas smiley - tongueout Me gusta viajar también, pero solamente si hay un destino claro - prefiero las viajes cuando yo sé adonde voy smiley - smiley

As for me, I really love languages. I speak and study English, French and Spanish (English is my native language/mother tongue, but Spanish is my stronger language of the others), and when I go to university, I'd like to study Italian too!

I like reading - probably because of my passion for languages smiley - tongueout I like travelling too, but only if there's a definite destination - I prefer journeys when I know where I'm going smiley - smiley

(Oh, one last thing:
"Tell us what you like!" = "!Diganos lo que le gusta!")
