Translation of Advent

I have considered the option to bring my friends from other social networks and invite them to join here. They can develop better language skills here. I'd love to pursue that goal, but I want to write in English.
In school, I had also learned Latin but it's been more than forty years ago. I grew up in Bern and I had lived there all my life, I had no opportunities to travel. It was not that easy during the war.
I have problems with adjectives, endings and articles. The grammar is so difficult. I am very happy to learn Spanish with you. What went wrong with the lessons? Thanks and best regards.
