Spanish term or phrase: 2n y 4t de ESO y a 1r de bachillerato
What years are these? I never could keep all those initials straight.
Jon Zuber
English translation:well...
Explanation:
Counting as if all years were consecutive,

2º ESO is 8th Grade,
4º ESO is 10th Grade,
1º Bachillerato (not compulsory High School) is 11th Grade - here is where you decide what you want to study

Bachillerato de Letras: Latin, Greek, History, History of Art, Philosophy

Bachillerato de Ciencias Naturales: biology, maths...

Bachillerato de Ciencias Técnicas: phisics, maths...

Bachillerato artístico: arts, drawing, history of art... etc etc :)

Bachillerato longs 2 years (11th and 12th Grade) - at the end of these you get something similar to the A-Levels but harder :) 7-8 written exams about ALL the subjects, and the total medium mark you get may allow you to enter this or that faculty... you bet!!! :)

PS: THIS IS MY FIRST DAY OF SECOND YEAR AT TRANSLATION AND INTERPRETATION STUDIES!!! I am getting hysterical :)

Second, fourth and first


Explanation:
Maybe the person who wrote the original don't have idea how to use initials and numbers. It seems to me that the text refers to scholar grades.

Explanation:
Hi Jon:-)
In Spanish, 2n = 2° or segundo (2nd)
4t = 4° or cuarto (4th)
1r = 1° or primer[o].

I guess your context (you don't give a great deal) is education. I don't know what your "market" is but I can tell you that "bachillerato" is (U.S.) High School...and in some other places (like Mexico), it's Upper-Secondary School----prior to university..or college.

Hope this helps:-)

Explanation:
Hola Jon

Se refiere a diferentes cursos del nuevo sistema educativo español, que actualmente se divide en:
-Educación primaria: 6 años, de los 6 a los 12
-Educación secundaria obligatoria (ESO): 4 años, de los 12 a los 16
-Bachillerato: 2 años, de los 16 a los 18. No es obligatorio y sirve para preparar al estudiante para la universidad. Se eligen las asignaturas que se quieren cursar, en función de lo estudios universitarios que se piensen hacer.

Tu texto se refiere al segundo curso de la educación secundaria (segundo de ESO),que los alumnos cursan entre los 13 y los 14 años, al cuarto curso de ESO (entre 15 y 16 años) y a primero de bachilerato (de los16 a los 17 años).

Por cierto, las abreviaturas están mal. Deberían de ser:

2n 4t 1r --> 2.º 4.º y 1.º (2nd, 4th , 1st)
