Hi everyone. I am a 32 year old college student who has never had ANY foreign language. This next fall and spring I will be taking Spanish, so finding this area of BellaOnline is awesome! I am sure you will find me here a lot, asking questions. I have additional motivation to do well in my classes, as we are planning a trip to Mexico for next summer.

Bueno. Podemos estudiar juntos.

Good. We can study together.

Welcome, Michelle!

Please, feel free to ask any question, we'll try to help you!

And enjoy!

Hi Michelle, welcome, hope you enjoy your stay

Bienvenidos a este sitio!

Welcome to this site!

Hola, Michelle. Soy newbie, tambi�n.

Hey! That word, "newbie".

How could it be translated into Spanish?

I guess we could say "nuevo-nueva".

There is another word: "novato". According to www.wordreference.com:

novato -ta adjetivo
inexperienced, new
■ sustantivo masculino, femenino
novice, beginner

But, when we use "novato", it also implies the idea of being very, very inexperienced.

So, between these two words: "nuevo" - "novato", which one would you choose as the closest translation for "newbie"?

;-)

Since I don't know what any of them mean, you tell me! LOL

Hola, Michelle. Me gusto novata o newbie.

�Hola!

Yes, maybe Angie could be closer! After having asked some questions here and there, I guess the best translation for newbie would be "novato" (masculine adjective) or "novata" (feminine adjective), meaning something/someone new to something, or someone who's just starting doing something?
