Hi everyone:
I'm from a Latinamerican country where there is a celebration party for girls when they turn 15. I heard something called "Sweet 16", is it something similar in the US? And in the case of my country, would it be ok to say "Sweet 15"?.
What are some common health complaints that people have?. I'm giving a class about this, and I was trying to come out with some like: headacke, stomachache, fever, sore muscles. Could you please provide me with more examples?
Thanks in advance

I speak no Spanish, unfortunately. What would an appropriate translation of Quinceanera be, out of interest?
If you say "Sweet 15," people in the US will assume it's a typo because "Sweet 16" is such an established concept.
