Hey! This is my view on it. I'm sure that you have heard already literal translation doesn't work. Why? Because languages are different. While you may find some words or phrases that have a direct translation into another language, there are many more that won't.
In Spanish we do have compound words, one of them is rompecabezas (that is, a puzzle). If I were to translate it literally, I would say head-breaker. Do you think someone would understand I'm talking about a puzzle if I said that?
Look at this idiom: every cloud has a silver lining.
You can't translate it literally into a Spanish, but you can find a another phrase that means the same, which in this case would be: no hay mal que por bien no venga.

Hola Laura :)!

I'm new here aswell, I hope this forum helps us both learn languages. You have so many goals, that's awesome I'm sure you'll be a polyglot one day.

Hola!

I'm a Spanish native speaker studying English, would you like to practice with me?

We can do it through Skype if you want (or any other thing, like email)

I hope we can both help each other out! Let me know if you are interested.
