It's been a while
It's a long time since I don't write an entry. I was very exited at the beginning, but I lost my momentum soon. I'm returning now, with less expectations and more energy. I don't promise I'll write every day, but I'll try to do it with more regularity.
Now, I think it would be good to write a few sentences about my day. I've been reading the work of a German philosopher, Hans Gadamer. His ideas are interesting and are backed by sound arguments, but the Spanish translation I'm using is very bad. The translator's approach was to preserve the original text's structure as best as the can in the Spanish version. This caused that the Spanish sound very weird and unnatural, even when they do a good word chose the vocabulary. I mean, the words were well translated to Spanish, but the disposition of them destroys the meaning. That's a realization I've had, the languages has a way of saying that is natural to them. The German is more suitable to construct complex sentences with long words that store an amount of meaning that to be expressed in the Spanish language would require a sentence by itself. Paradoxically enough, Gadamer express this very same idea - with more precision and intelligence, as it's to be expected- in this very bad-translated book.

I wasn't quite sure what you meant to say at first, but I'm guessing that you meant that you haven't written an entry in a while. At first, I thought you meant that it's been a long time since you have not written an entry, meaning that you have been consistently writing entries prior to this. From the context, I figured that it was the former, but let me know if you meant something else :)

This caused that the Spanish to sound very weird and unnatural, even when they do a good word chose the vocabulary well.
I'm not quite sure what you meant by the second part of the sentence.

The German is more suitable to constructfor complex sentences, with long words that store an amount ofconvey a meaning that to be expressed in the Spanish language would require a sentence by itselfof their own.
The original sentence was hard to read, although I think I understood what you were trying to say. Given that some of the issues with clarity had to do with the length and construction of the sentence, there are a few different ways in which you could improve the sentence. My correction represents only one.
Paradoxically enough, Gadamer expresses this very same idea - with more precision and intelligence than this entry, as it's to be expected- in this very bad-ly translated book.
I'm not sure if I understood what you were trying to say. I think it would help the clarity of the sentence to specify who or what is expressing the idea worse than Gadamer.
