I just corrected someone who's fluent in Spanish :P

I think you might mean borracho (drunk) for that first one, unless there's another word that I don't know for drunk.

 

And for the second one, I think you have to use the subjunctive.

 

I'm a jerk.

 

 

I speak it pretty well and can understand everything except certain accents, but my writing absolutely blows.

A veces, como cuando estoy barrata--puedo hablar bastante bien.  Por supuesto, no hay muchos tiempos a practicar en el norte de Michigan donde yo vivo.  Me olvide mucho cada dia.  Necesito ir a un pais donde le gente decir espanol para a mez.

 

Uhhh... burrito supreme.

 

I've worked with a number of Asian and Indian students over the years and fully appreciate how difficult it sometimes is to be a non-native English speaker here. I always feel bad when I have to ask them to repeat themselves two or three times. I can't imagine what it feels like to be in that situation in front of a camera. No wonder Freddy hurries through interviews.

The other night when he had two HRs, I heard Uribe speaking to the press for the first time EVER.  Sure, he has a heavy accent, but it's no worse than a lot of other ball players.  He should let us get to know him a little bit.

He has one of the softest voices I've ever heard from a guy his size.

Note to self...start referring to self as Jose Contreras's uncle instead of Garcia's uncle...they're on to me and my lighter stealing plans.
