Learning Spanish

[Waddler]

Hola, me llamo Rob. I am a mostly self-taught Spanish student looking to practice my language skills. Right now, Duolingo says I'm 15% fluent, though I doubt that. My goal is to move to Los Angeles, where it would be helpful to know Spanish.

¿Ayudame, por favor?

Mucho gusto, DeerGlow. Yo tengo problemas con...como se dice "conjugation" en español? Is there a trick to learning how to conjugate verbs?

Nice to meet you, DeerGlow. I have problems with...how do you say "conjugation" in Spanish? Is there a trick to learning how to conjugate verbs?

Woah! Spanish is extremely similar to Italian, I could understand it, surprisingly from what you guys said.

The Romance languages are pretty close (and Norse languages).

Es difícil conjugar los verbos en español. Yo estudié español en escuela por seis años y nunca aprendí a conjugar verbos.

It is difficult to conjugate verbs in Spanish. I studied Spanish in school for six years and never learned how to conjugate verbs.

(Side note: if I make a mistake, please feel free to correct it.)

If you get a copy of a Bible in Spanish and for example read John chapter 1, you may find yourself understanding a lot of it, because the language is simple and clear in any case and you may be familiar with the passage already. It's a good way to learn languages.

Hey Farouk, where did you get your name from?

Hey Farouk, were there any times where there were problems with you and God? Say for example if you kept on sinning against him?

I have greatly benefited from John's First Epistle, where it speaks of walking in the light and the continual cleansing by the blood of Christ. It's a great Epistle to read.

You studied Spanish for six years and they didn't teach you conjugation?? For shame on those teachers. I don't have a good source on hand for you to study, but almost all verbs ending in -ar are conjugated the same; this is also the same for verbs ending in -ir and -er. Once you learn those three, you have like 95% of verb conjugations, and then you just need to learn the past, future, and subjunctive forms (I know, fun right!) It's really just a memorization process; there are special verbs like ser and haber and the verbs ending in car/gar/zar have their own special conjugation rules. Just practice, practice, practice.

Getting the basic grammar and using the Reina-Valera version of the Bible daily can be a giant step forward for anyone learning Spanish!

Another great way to learn Spanish (or any language) is to learn the songs.
Otra forma de aprender español o cualquier idioma es cantar las canciones
