Confusing part of learning spanish?!?
361120
The best way to learn is to practice, having someone to correct you... I'm still confused about english sometimes, but   I try to continue... try to find somebody to speak with, and you will learn faster...\nBesides, spanish can be very 'poetic', and rules doesn't always apply, but it's always understandable...

It should be a big help to know Spanish already. I'd suggest finding a Brazilian in your area to speak with, as the biggest problem I faced with my previous knowledge of Spanish, was the speaking part. That being said, there are big differences and one shouldn't write them off and think they can just use Spanish in Brazil, for example.

Are you asking how to write "I don't understand" in spanish, or are you asking how to say "I don't understand how to write in spanish"?\n\nI don't understand: No entiendo or No comprendo\nI don't understand how to write in Spanish: No sé escribir en español.

I would say it doesn´t really matters what program you use, the important thing is PRACTICING what you've learned...Have you notice those people who get embarrassed when they try to speak the language they're learning? yes, they will hardly speak it fluently some day...so if you have spanic people around you, USE THEM!!! (in good sense of the word, of course). If you get a decent program and you speak and speak to those who know the language (specially if they correct your mistakes), you'll be fluent faster than you say PRONTO PRONTO!

Learning a new language is a fairly difficult task in it's own right. But it is essential for a lot of people, especially those who immigrate to a country where the language is not their own.  \n\nI find it admirable that you have taken the time to slowly develop your spanish to be able to communicate better with your fellow workmates. Good on you!\n\nBut try to look at it like this; Learn the language for yourself, not for others or for gratitude. I'm sure they appreciate you in their own way, even if say nothing.\n\nbest of luck

Hiya, I can recommend you a great site. It's http://www.bbc.co.uk/languages/spanish You'll find there a free course of Spanish for beginners. And if you put your speakers on you will be able to hear them pronounce words as well. It's a very good site. If you're interested in other languages as well, then go to www.bbc.co.uk/languages and choose a different language. Good luck with learning Spanish. That's one of the languages that I also would like to learn. As I find it cool.

is this for the WHOLE alphabet or just M? And I think that the words have to be pretty simple so the kids can learn how to start to read. First they learn the vowels a-e-i-o-u and then they add the consonance and finally add other consonance to make simple words. ba-bar  be-bebe  bi-...bo-..Does it have to all be in Spanish?

I can safely say that I have tried no less than 5 learn-at-home language programs to learn Spanish. The only one that has helped me has been the "Learn in Your Car" series (available for several languages, I believe).  The absolute best way for most people to really learn how to speak a second language conversationally is to be immersed in it. Sure, you'll get the basics from any decent learn by yourself program, but none that I have encountered truly can emulate what it's really like to actually speak with someone in a second language.

I moved to Barcelona last year knowing very little Spanish or Catalan. (I'm 20.) It really helped that I started a language course straight away - see if you can find a good language course to take, one that emphasizes using the language actively. There's no other way to learn really. Practice lots, I'm sure your husband and his family and friends, and everyone else around, will be more than happy to help! They're just happy to see we're trying to learn and most people are very helpful. Don't be afraid to make mistakes, the language isn't that hard really, you just need to get started practicing and using the language in every way you can possibly think of. You'll be fine!

The best way to learn any language is through a technique called "total immersion".  This is where nothing is spoken except the target language.  So, no English whatsoever, only Spanish in your case.\nUse the latest technique of "Total Immersion," which can be more specifically called the "Communicative Method of Total Immersion".\n\nWith this method, the student is submersed in a Spanish-speaking environment that extends beyond the classroom, to include all aspects of his or her life during the time it takes to learn the language. So the classroom becomes in reality, an extension of the student's reality while studying . Therefore, language acquisition never ceases to take place. \n\nThis Total Immersion technique is based on three open structures:\n\na. Integrated skills, \nb. Grammar by analogy, not by analysis, and\nc. Themes selected by the learner, i.e restauraunts, banking, travel. \n\nWith this system, the learner is able to feel the success, and hear how they are making progress in the language, in different communicative situations.\n\nI don't know if you will be fluent in 30 days.  That depends on prior knowledge of the language, language proficiency apptitude, and a variety of other factors.  It will be difficult even if you do pick up languages quickly, but if you are determined enough, you could potentially have a rudimentary understanding of the fundamentals of the Spanish language within a month by utilizing total immersion.\n\nThe Defense Language Institute in California (the military language school) teaches all of it's languages in this manner.

First of all, as a hispanic woman, I want to thank you on behalf of those hispanic children in your classroom for making an effort to help them and their families in this foreign place to them (it isn't easy to live in a place where you do not understand most anybody). Second here is my advice: try to get some vocabulary going, but mainly try to watch one of the spanish speaking channels on t.v. When I first moved to the states, t.v taught me what school didn't. You will probably feel frustrated at first because you won't get a word out of it, but with time, you'll begin understanding, it takes few months, but trust me it works!. I also suggest reading children's books in spanish or try children's movies, they have a very easy and basic spanish and are also very helpful. Last, enjoy learning it and do not give up easy\n\nBuena suerte!!!!!\n\nAlejandra

One thing that helps is imitation.  "Steal" exact sentences that you hear, and then change them slightly as you get to understand them better.  Even if you don't understand the exact grammar rule, you will get to know it by using it.\n\nYou might also try using textbooks and workbooks written for elementary school students.  These will teach you the rules and give you lots of practice.\n\nIf you want, you can contact me here with any questions you might have - I'm a language arts/english teacher with experience in teaching spanish-speaking students.  I'm also fluent in spanish so feel free to ask me questions in both languages!
