Rayera, yes, it is one of the older Italian laguages as it has been evolved in this country.  We have many english loan words added in pronounced with Italian sounding phonems.  The funny think is that the way that some of the loan words have been used are similiar to what have been used for those items in the regular latin derived languages.

The english translation is: 
My Mother likes pictures of lighthouses and ships.  Do you know where to find a lighthouse of Genova to use in a picture?

Now I will try yours, with the understanding that I studied four years of Spanish and never got past first three or four chapters of the introductory text book.  The teachers would set that pace for the class to match the slowest students for this subject. Also we kept losing teachers for the subject, so with every new teacher we would have to start the book over from the beginning.  Over and over I learned that, "Juan y Juanita va a la playa"  and "Juan y Janita va a Cuzco con el equipo".

The wierdest situation was with one of our teachers for that language is one that really stands out in my memory.  From what I learned, her full experience with the language came from her having taken two years of Spanish in college--as an "easy course".    She was from the deep south (of this country) and was still trying to loose her cajun accent.  At the beginning of each session, she pronounced spanish words with a very strong english accent with a touch a cajun.  Meanwhile, when I spoke in spanish, I had no trouble with an english accent but I did have a strong italian derived accent.  By the end of each session of class she would no longer have such a bad english accent, rather she was then speaking spanish words with a variation of my accent and a touch of her cajun.

Now I will try:

When late and the sun is in the west, a ..... shadow ... covers the Argentine plains and when the sun shiness with its brilliant and serene light, of the wide field .....  the somber shadow ... with the ... of the pen.
