Spanish term

dirige

Spanish to English Other Education / Pedagogy
Hi, I really dont like the wording of this, in fact I wouldnt even stated as a question in English (something maybe like intended audiende of the portal or at least my thoughts go that way). Its a heading regarding the audience of a teaching portal and underneath goes an explanation (that its for kids, their ages etc).

Any ideas? Much appreciated thanks :)

3.2 ¿A quién se dirige XXXX (internet portal)?

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (2): Rosa Paredes, philgoddard

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

It should be in question form...and would then need to use a who (wanted to avoid that) as I think it sounds a bit to unnatural no? Any other ideas...I quite liked aimed at or directed at - thanks
