Help needed from Spanish speakers
Mofi just posted her Italian presentation asking for help..she read my mind! I need help with my Spanish presentation. I am also a first semester student so we're pretty much just doing present tense. The subject given by our professor was "Mi Vida Loca". All though mi vida isn't so loca...he basically wanted us to describe a day in our lives using the vocabulary we had learned so far. He also wanted us to introduce ourselves as if he didn't know us....

Me llamo Rebecca Hecker. Soy baja, morena, y comica. Estoy casado. El nombre de mi esposo es Steve. Nosotros tenemos cuatro mascotas. Tenemos dos perros y dos gatos. Vivimos en Vernon. Nuestra casa es pequeño. Nuestra casa tiene tres alcobas y un baño.

Yo trabajo a Aetna en Hartford. Prefiero tomar el autobús. Pierdo el autobús a veces porque salgo tarde. Mi jefe es muy simpatica. ¡Tengo suerte!

Mi jefe y yo almorazmos en la cafeteria. Nosotros trabajamos en la oficina y nuestras casas.

Después de trabajar, voy a la casa. Mi esposo y yo jugamos con los perros y comamos la cena. Después de cena, vengo la clase de español. La clase comineza son las siete de la noche. Eschucho mi prefesor. ¡Él habla mucho!

Regreso a casa y duermo en mi cama! Buenas Noches!

I'd make the above changes in red. There are probably more but that's on a quick read-thru.

Also, what are "alcobas?" I'm not familiar with that word, nor does it show up in my online dictionary. Bedrooms? "Recamaras" en español.

EDIT: One more thing... is your boss a woman? If so, it would be "jefa."

bedrooms...I may have mispelled it. I believe I could also use "habitaciones" or something along those lines...I remember my prof saying there were quite a few words for bedrooms.
Thanks for reviewing and providing the updates!

Oops... I just noticed a change I highlighted but didn't make! It's "comemos," not "comamos."

Oh, and "habitaciones" refers more to a room you would rent (like a hotel room), than a personal bedroom, typically. FWIW.

Aqui tienes las correciones :

Estoy casada

Nuestra casa es pequeña

almorzamos

y en nuestras casas también.

FYI: 'alcoba' is a posher expression. Recamara is the common usage. Use as you wish, depending on whom you're speaking to, although in this area they may not understand alcoba.

comamos = comemos

de la cena

vengo a la

La clase comienza a las siete

Eschucho a mi profesor

Regreso a mi casa

Please disregard the '"n" I added in the word "cansada". I just finished correcting 75 Spanish compositions and I'm too cansada to be doing this right now!
