Any fluent Spanish speakers here?

by Robin Garr » Wed Dec 23, 2009 8:30 pm

I need help translating a Email from a fellow in the restaurant business who speaks only Spanish. I need help responding to him, and I may need help with direct translation in a meeting with him.

Any native speakers (preferred) or truly competent gringos willing to volunteer?

This might help. It is not perfect, but gets the job done.

Robin, I could swear that in one of her postings Becky M said that Spanish was her native tongue. I looked through seven pages of her postings without confirming, but she has over thirty some pages.

Robin,
I am fluent in Spanish and could translate this for you if you'd like. Not only formally trained, but pretty good in street slang depending on the content of the letter :)

Sounds like you've found several competent volunteers for the job already, but I just want to add myself to the list for the record as a competent gringa. :) I studied Spanish in school from 2nd grade through college and spent a semester living in Guadalajara.
