Who can speak Spanish?

[Abbyka Laine]

Because I need to learn it so I'm asking for help from anyone that can speak it really well. I think that if my entire life is surrounded by mostly spanish I'll learn it quickly, so I'm trying to get help from people online too so I can't just escape to the internet to hear plain english again. lol I'm going to have people I know irl help too, so I'll be surrounded by it effectively.

Any help is appreciated.

I'd suggest asking LV, though she's usually sporting 2nd generation hand-me-down espanol, and has to ask her parents about it at times :)

[Morgan Evanar]

That won't be too much different from the crap spoken here.

[Abbyka Laine]

I'll ask her then. :D But anyone else's help is welcome. I'm bugging as many people as possible so I can get help at all times of the day. Like if one person is offline, then someone else is online.

Only when speaking it and with really hard words. :p

But I will be the first to say that I wouldn't be the one to give any spanish lessons. I may be able to understand it fluently, and read it farely fluently, and speak it to get around... but I ain't no spanish teacher.

I can help with certain words you'd be looking for though, and spelling. But I wouldn't trust myself to give you a grade A spanish lesson.

Who can speak Spanish?
Spaniards ;)


One thing I found helped a lot (Although with German) was to get one of those ___ - English dictionaries. It's easier to learn a language when you can look a word up quickly, IMO.

Course, I remember klein Deutch now, so take that advice with a grain of salt.

I spent Spanish class reading star wars books. Consequently, ich habe nicht comprendo del spanisho :huh

I have a hard enough time speaking english, hence the frequent use of the dictionary.

I dont learn well unless someone is there interacting with me during the lessons. Which is why I have bugged several people at work about it.

Learn it on tape then? That's how I learned (very little) German and some Japanese (which is really hard to speak when you've had 8 years of school French lessons >_<)

all I know are cusswords and nasty phrases, so you might not want me to teach you :)

I had seven and a half years of Spanish and can't really say much. I do sort of understand it, but when I speak it, it's very broken. Gets me by, as 75% of our clientele at work speaks no english or chooses not to.

I think you need to put yourself in an environment where you have to speak it all the time.

My first spanish lesson was this:

Never say "Soy embarrassada", if you're trying to say you're embarrassed because you can't speak the language well. Saying that, means you're pregnant (I guess).

[Abbyka Laine]

lol Learning on tape is hard for me too. I meant interact as in someone that is living and breathing not a tape or what not. I tried to learn Japanese on tape... didn't work.

God I wish I never left Spanish class. If only the teacher didnt annoy me so much I would have stayed. >.<

To bad this wasn't I need to learn Quebec French. It's easier than France French. All you have to do is move your jaw to one side and do a half smile while talking.

As for speaking Spanish I know the easy words like.... Taco or Pepsi.

The best way to learn a language I find is just have a conversation with someone who speaks it.

*Seconds later* Como tan. (Like so)

BWhaha!

Quebec French isn't like French French at all! People from Quebec sound like pirates IMO. The only thing phrase of (Quebec) french I know is "May I please go to the bathroom?" :lol

Learning on tape wasn't hard for me; I learned German on tape and Japanese from tape (and watching anime, actually...maybe you should just watch Telemundo?)

Working in tobacco with Mexicans will teach you a lot of neat phrases that your Spanish class won't.

I know how to swear, order a beer, and ask for the toilet. Oh, and say "My record player is broken". What more do you need to know? :D

I know EXACTLY how much hell teachers can be. I'm related to 5 of them!
