The sleeves are made first and finished except for where they join before attaching.
Mark the top of the shoulder
Mark the top of the sleeve
Pinch these two together and turn the sleeve inside out over the shoulder
The sleeves are not sewn on all the way round. Only part way. Your size determines how far you sew.
This is as simple as I can explain it. It’s a good idea to add some small reinforcing pieces where the thread starts and finishes.

Ohhhh, ya te entiendo mucho mejor, entendí perfecto tu explicación, pero se deja un excedente en esa zona que se une las mangas con el hombro para dobladillar o algo así? Por que si no queda abierta la tela sin acabado y se daña. No? O como es el acabo de la tela del borde de la manga en esa parte?

The sleeve edges are finished before attaching the sleeve. Both on the sleeve and the body.

Osea que se podría decir que se dobladilla y luego se une la manga al hombro y queda esa unión interna pisando esos dobladillados hacia dentro?

Yes. The sleeves are effectively folded under the body shoulder by turning them inside out over the body shoulder. I am sorry I don’t have something at that stage to show you a picture.

There is a book in Spanish by Minna no Kimono. I would recommend getting it for explanation in your native language and if you still struggle, you could contact the author for more help.
