This is my favourite spanish song by the amazing band La Oreja de Van Gogh and it is called París. I have tried to translate the lyrics which I found online. I would really appreciate if people could tell me if I have done this right, or if I have made mistakes. If so please correct them for me. I have been teaching myself spanish, so I have huge amounts of errors and bad habits! I have put the spanish line on top of the English one below. I have also added the song for anyone who wants to hear it, it is amazing I think!

Hi,

I'm searching for some help. I was asked by a lawyer who is a friend of my father's to help out (in office only ) for interpreting next monday for a workman's comp case. I've learned some legal words (my brother is a lawyer) and have taken the first part of the court certification process.

Of course, I'm terribly nervous. Now, this is the initial visit with the lawyer. I don't know how the person was injured. But what I'm looking for is any suggestions/help with words for work injuries and what legal words might be used during the visit. Anyone? oh and please dont' send me links to legal dictionaries. I have those thanks. I'm just fishing for what would be more common phrases used for work related injuries and the legal jargon that goes along with them.

Thank you!

    Hey all, I'm looking for a good textbook to help me study Spanish.
(preferably something I could buy off of Amazon US)
In high school I've used the books Paso a Paso and Somos Asi, and I liked those, but I don't know if they come with a recording of the dialogue (this is important or me, since I will be studying at home by myself until I reach a certain level of proficiency) and something to test what I've learned, such as a workbook.

    Half joke half seriously, I reinstalled some of my favorite games in Spanish onto my computer (whenever I'm on the machine I seem to want to game or waste time on the internet), and I would like to reach a certain level of proficiency (able to hold a conversation for more than 5 minutes, know more vocabulary) by studying away from the computer.

    Also, what are some of your favorite TV shows that are in Spanish? I'd love to watch a show in Spanish for fun, but I don't know where to look! Something simple and catchy would be good... if it helps, I watch a lot of 70s/80s anime.
