I need Someone to translate some spa...

i really need to learn Spanish lol

getting alot of nice Spanish messages lately ( they are beeing overly generous and sweet to me lately not sure what i am doing different) most of the time I can get away with using Babel but it dosent understand Andaluz or Spanish street talk lol. and id love to know what they are saying instead of just guessing, I just replied back some silly generic replie like " Gracias Amigo "

with everything there is the learn about flamenco guitar/dance/cante etc etc whos got time to learn spanish too ?

I wanted to tell a singer "I was a huge fan of his" the translation said Something like "I am his fat Airconditioning"

oh and please keep this beween us because if the people found out i had no idea what they are saying to me but i am replieing anyway its a litlle embarrasing.

like when you not paying attention to someone but you keep saying " Yes" . " Aha " .. "Really" and suddently the other person stops and looks at you waiting for a replie to something he might have asked

just leave a message that you will help me translate it and il pm you the messages, its probably not very tackfull to just paste it here.

RE: I need Someone to translate some... (in reply to Ricardo)

probably lol

I always pass past tomatitos page or any of the other guitarists whos falsetas i play out of fear lol.

I play enough copywritted stuff to be put away for life and take bobby away from me.

I dont know how they would react... if they would be pissed off or happy , i have no idea, its getting a litlle worring atm lol. and this singer that messaged me , sings with some of them and is around those people.

For example how do you think Gerardo would react if he went to my page and found that i was playing one of his falsetas :? ( good or bad thats irrelevant)

would he be flatered or annoyed ? I have no idea, is it ok to do, or not, i am really wodering lately cause i am coming in too closer contact with famous guitarists whos stuff i like playing on myspace.

i got stuff from Paco Serrano, Ramon Jimenez, Tomatito , Nino Josele, Juan Carlos Romero, Vicente, Chicuelo, Paco etc (Tomatitos Flamenco intro is the only one i play exactly as the original thow, assuming Conrads transcription is like the original).

I am just a jail sentence waiting to happen

I don't understand.
My spanish is not that good, but I see that they all want to be your friend.
Or am I missing something ?

Well she said other things like: it fills her with pride to see people outside of spain play flamenco. flamenco is in the heart not in your passport. Nothing bad really.

I read your first post in in the email notification.

well that's nice isnt it ? what makes you think that i might not like to know that ?

I didnt really think i was in trouble from this people about what i play, that was something that passed in my mind just cause of what Ricardo said, unrelated to this, just related to myspace.

I knew it wasent anything bad

She also says she talks spanish and that's no problem cause you can use a translator.

my fat airconditioning says your fat airconditioning is the slim heater. that's totally heavy air compressor. we should get together and gas mask, that would be the cool subterranean-ecosystem.
