A Spanish Writing Tutorial

Having taken three years of Spanish in high school (one of which I received college credit for) I possess an intimate knowledge of the language. I have kept this knowledge mostly to myself for many years, but I feel that now is the time to disseminate it.

So, suppose you are writing a paper for your Spanish class and you are running short on words. I am going to show you how to turn one sentence into two, perhaps even three sentences. So maybe you want to convey your strong feelings for pizza. In doing so you have written: Pizza es fantastico. However, now you don't know where to go. I suggest adding another sentence about pizza. For example, you could write: Pizza es fantastico. Me gusta pizza. And, if you are really feeling ambitious, you can go with three sentences about pizza. For example, you could write: Pizza es fantastico. Me gusta Pizza. Quiero Pizza. Now you may be thinking that this is redundant writing. In English you would be correct in saying so. However, this is Spanish, a very passionate language, which means that putting similar sentences next to each other only conveys your passion for what you are writing about.

Overall, this method of writing in Spanish has served me well, and I trust that it will take your Spanish writing to the next level too. Also, if you ever need help with making a miniature hot air balloon piñata, don't hesitate to inquire. I like to think that I have some knowledge in that area as well since I was part of a group that succeeded in making one not too many years ago.
