Hi, it should be "Ver la televisiÃ³n"

ver to is to see where as the english statement says "watching". To watch = mirar

Por supuesto Robert

La frase "Yo queres por usted conmigo para ver el cine y podemos hablar"

para mi no estÃ¡ muy clara, como el nombre "anonymous"..

English: But of course Robert

The sentence "I (quieres) you want/wish for you with me for watching film and we can talk" is, with my knowledge of your lenguage, a complete strange sentence, just like your name, namely "anonymous".

I hope you understand something of this, my english is like spanish: muy lejos de bien.

The very best to you y adiÃ³s amigo. ( el nombre de pila es: Wikke, no Wikki)

Anonymous,
Are you trying to say, "I want you to watch a movie with me and we can talk later?"

I'm still learning, but what you are trying to say is actually pretty advanced, because it's using something called "The Subjunctive" mood (someone correct me if I'm wrong). This is because you are implying a request, i.e. "I want that you .., I wish that you .. I would like that you..".

I want you to come with me to watch a movie.
(Yo) quiero que tu venga conmigo al cine para ver una pelicula.

Please someone correct me if I am wrong.

In the Spanish basics, you learn things like.. You go to the movies, that's simple. Tu vas al cine. But the subjunctive mood has a weird ending. Like, "Have a good day!" --> que tenga un buen dia!

I'm trying to learn spanish from a 10 dollar cd :P

Do you think this is good enough that someone might at least understand what I was saying?

I am an English native and I'm not great at describing things but to me "SO" is a word being used to connect a future action.
"I went to the store so my brother decided to throw out the trash."
"I told my girlfriend i love ice cream so she bought me ice cream."
But if I'm correct so in Spanish is tan according to every translator I have used. "Aye tan loca" i heard a lot as a kid from my dad lol.
Sorry if it made you more confused. Just trying to help.

This is my guess:

Me gustarÃa que vengas conmigo a mirar la pelÃcula. (Y) despuÃ©s podrÃamos parlar.

I'm not an english native and i don't really get the meaning of 'so', so i didn't really translate it.

Grs

New sentence.

I would like you to come with me to watch the movie so we can talk afterwards.

Me gustarÃa que tu venga conmigo para mirar la pelicula (so..?) podemos hablar mas tarde.
