Well I would have thought the answer to a Spanish question would also be in Spanish,

Soy de Nueva York

updated Dec 28, 2011posted by EddyIt's optional to translate names. One of my American friends in Colombia (named James) used Santiago as his name in Colombia. Another (also named James) continued to call himself James. Personal preference. - CalvoViejo, May 23, 20112votes

Say where you are from. Por ejemplo: "De donde eres?" "Estoy de New York City."

updated Sep 7, 2011posted by JeremiasNo, no, no!!! Say SOY de New York City. When asked where you're from, always use the "ser" verb. - CalvoViejo, May 23, 2011Si, pero... Sabes que solo uno "no" sería suficiente? O tratas a todos como simplezas? - Jeremias, May 23, 2011"Un" no, ¿que no (no, no)? je je - messin' 'round.... - cristalino, Sep 7, 20111vote
