Spanish Lyrics and English translation provided for this video by Alfonso ‘Fonsucu’ Velázquez and Luz ‘ContessaDeAvila’. Permission to publish the music recording at Youtube was granted to ‘Philclassic’ by Guillermo Gomez Rivera thru Luz “ContessaDeAvila”. Vintage photographs of Manila Carnival Queens of the 1900’s are presented in this video.
NOTE: There was a typo.. at 1:27, the correct spanish word is “AMA” but I wrote “ALMA” instead. The Spanish phrase should read: “Las AMA el que las ve”.

Converting my laptop from the spanish language to the english language?
I walked in to a computerstore and they said they could convert my laptop from spanish to English language for 20 euros, I would have to leave the laptop with them for a few hours. How do they do this. Only genuine replies please no guessing
What you want to change? Everything that you can see ON the screen? Or everything, including keyboard?
If you just want to change what you see on the screen, then you could ask some friend to do it for you. I usually do this but I will not ask 20 €, it’s too much for such a easy thing.
And if you want to change everything including the keyboard, then you have to take your computer to store.

How difficult is the AP Spanish Language exam?
Yes, I know . . . it’s a little late. But anyhow, I’m taking the AP spanish Language exam tomorrow, and I’m kind of freaking out because I don’t feel like I’ve been prepared enough in class (although I’ve been studying like crazy on my own).
So, for people that have taken this exam in particular (or are in the same boat that I’m in right now):
How difficult is this exam?
How much is it curved?
Any last minute helpful hints or tips or insights?
Thanks for the help!
I took it today. I have mixed emotions about it. I thought that some of the audio was very difficult to hear. Especially the radio segments and the "staticy" sound. I mostly had difficulty understanding because some of them speak muy rapido. Lol.The 8-minute writing thing was an easy topic, but I they definitely should’ve gave us more time! I also thought the topic of the essay was difficult because it’s not something that’s highly discussed and I didn’t know a lot of vocabulary words concerning the subject. But, the speaking portion should’ve been easy. Para mi, este fue dificil porque me puse muy nerviosa. I just froze! But, I hope you did well! All-in-all, you probably did well if you didn’t let those stupid nerves get to you like it did to me. By the way, I’m not hispanic, another disadvantage.
