In my first try I make 10 mistakes and several of these were again and again. The second one was better: 3 errors. I am a Spanish speaking and there are many words that have the same genera as in Croatian, but not all (i.e. ljubav, in Spanish is masculine), and this knowledge mine induce me to make mistakes deducting some Croatian words. This exercise is very useful to fix the knowledge and better security of the apprentices. It would be nice to extend the possibilities the use to Spanish speaking too. I offer you to translate at least something of your work and I do not want nothing for that. I’ll do it bit by bit, as my time let me and it would be a pleasure for me. Thanks once more.
Yes, this is the idea, each try will be better because you'll remember your mistakes.
A translation to Spanish is already on its way by a volunteer (who wants to remain anonymous). If you want to join the effort, I'll have to ask her how she would co-ordinate with you. Thanks a lot for your offer!

Thanks! Spanish gender is not important here. Croatian gender cannot be explained from Spanish. Some irregular genders (like noć) are inherited, but not all.
Feminine dog is not psa, unfortunately. There is no simple way to make feminine nouns from masculines, you have to remember pairs.
Female horse is kobila, and female dog kuja. Female sheep is ovan. Etc
I haven’t inconvenient to get in touch with the person that you allude. I suppose that who offered collaboration to you have the common proposition of good intention. So you have my mail and you can dispose it in that sense. I liked very much your work; there are many Spanish speaking that do not know nothing of English that we can do something to help all them interested to learn Croatian en the way you teach. I just sent my first translation about gender with some comments that I can omit if you wish. I look forward news.
I'm sorry for the inconvenient. Similar cases are given in Spanish although most change the last vowel by “a” to indicate the feminine. Example of dog are perro (m), perra (f). But continuing with the examples that you gave, differences in Spanish are: (horse) caballo (m). yegua (f); (sheep) carnero (m), oveja (f). Returning to the case of "pas" that you clarified me, because I had misunderstood what my poor dics and other readings indicate, I will keep it in mind for the future. The second meaning of "kuja" bitch, is also used here to mean "prostitute woman", “bad woman” and other analogous. No problem. I just tried to do the best according to my limited knowledge of Croatian.
7 mistakes, I have to work. Later I'll try verbs, I'm sure to make lots of mistakes. I like that kind of quiz. Hvala lijepo !
