13 Lucky Writing Tips is a school paper detailing a list of techniques to improve rhetoric. It is likely Chris simply wrote them down as a teacher read them off, as he begins disregarding them as soon as tip #4, switching from standard written English to Spanish in order to flex his Peggy Hill-esque grasp on the language. It is possible that Chris actually invented a new kind of grammatical error: for most learners of a new language it is a common mistake to use false cognates (a word that seems like a word in their own language but has a completely different meaning), but Chris pushes the envelope by using assumed cognates, words that don't exist in the language at all, that Chris made up. Thus, this document is a candid example of Chris's poor grasp of the Spanish language.

Mistakes
Line 4
-finallié would go after estancé if estancé was a noun, however estancé literally translates to stagnated, it is clear Chris believes it means sentence, the correct word is sentencia, also the word is final.
-The Spanish equivalent of introductory is, believably introductorio and the word for paragraph is parráfo.
Line 5
-Chris neglects to conjugate "escribes" into the imperative escribe.
-The Spanish form of thesis is spelled tesis.
-He misspells and erroneously uses the infinitive form of incluir.
-He uses llama as the translation for name, anyone who has been to one day at a Spanish class likely knows that llama is a verb and means call, while the correct word would be nombre. Furthermore, if llama were a noun it would be feminine and addressed with the feminine article la. -The spanish word for work even in this sense is Trabajo, which any high school Spanish student should know.
Line 6
-Chris uses the words support and relaté in lieu of apoyan and relacionan.
-Erroneously uses paragragh and thesis.
Line 7
-Chris uses the 2nd person singular (you) conjugation for tener.
-Uses paragraph and estancés as well as the word unifying when the word is "unificando", also unifying" is an adjective and would go after concepto.
-When the words de and el are used consecutively they are combined into del.
Line 8
-The Spanish word for details is detalles, Chris also uses support, relaté, estancé, and paragraph.
-He uses topic when he means tema.
-Doesn't combine a and el into al.
Line 9
-The word for adequate is adecuado.
-He repeats support and details.
Line 10
-The Spanish word for literature is literatura and is feminine.
-Again Chris puts the adjective before the noun like in English.
-Uses tense when he means tiempo.
Line 11
-Chris begins speaking French somehow, and uses the French word for very, tres, and uses muchaco instead of mucho, literally writing "very boy".
-He uses points/pointe when he means punto.
-It is not clear what the sentence is supposed to mean but it is wrong in some way.
Line 12
-This sentence makes no sense, it is not clear what verb he meant, but creer means to think or believe.
Line 13
-While this may be the most correct line, the Spanish word for carefully is cuidadosamente.
-Cheques is not conjugated into the imperative cheque.
