Luci´s writing challenge

 

            O.K. Sorry for being late. Here is mine.

It`s the begining of Don Quixote de La Mancha, by Cervantes. It´s  written in old Spanish.

Congrats for your challenge Luci.

Here is the original translation..."In a village of La Mancha, the name of which I have no desire to call to mind, there lived not long since one of those gentlemen that keep a lance in the lance-rack, an old buckler, a lean hack, and a greyhound for coursing..."

  • Thank you Onee. I try my best ;)

    You know? I think exactly the same with you.
  • So artistic and beautiful handwriting!! I really like it. :) and I can read that you're a resolute person. Am I right? :)

  • Hi mod Robbie,
    I guess Both countries have somehow family ties, right? :)
    Thanks for your comment, it's always cool seeing you around.
  • Classic piece of writing never goes out of fashion. It's so original of you to share your handwriting with your old language. Our school curriculum here used to have a Spanish subject but it was replaced with other subject. Thank you for sharing this!

  • Haha... Saba really? Calm down lol...

    Actually I miss the times when some letters I received were handwritten regardless its beauty. Now in their almost entirety I just receive boring letters from companies or miserly banks.
    Thanks for dropping by Saba, it's always nice seeing you.
  • Hello Estanis!

    Your handwriting is beautiful and legible!

    I enjoy reading legible and neat handwritings, but when I have to read sloppy and illegible handwritings, I'm so angry that may tear it :)

  • Your hand writing is really nice;I'm sure it's the same in English too. Thanks for sharing.
  • Hello again my devastatingly handsome* neighbor! (*I loved that Jade! hahaha)

    Oh well, you didn't have to translate it yourself... that's what's google for! hahaha

    But, joking aside, don't think that would be like 'cheating', because transcription can be also as good english exercise as reading (includes reading + transcription, so you can remember better the words (vocabulary) and its context) But anyway, sorry for being so 'demanding' with you, you know the spanish saying "la confianza da asco" hahaha

    Oh, but don't think that people 'do what I say' as you said... It's just that you're too nice and you keep making the mistake to listening to what I say XD

    Thanks again for your Quixotic handwritten! ^_^
