I personally find the accents of Mexico and Ecuador to be very clear, whereas the accent in Carribbean countries such as Puerto Rico tends to be more difficult.

What are your experienes, for those of you who have studied Spanish as a second language?

I need to know what are some good basic words and phrases for kids to learn in Spanish?

Im 15 and currently teaching myself Spanish and i might be going on an exchange trip next summer for a month to Spain.I learned all that future tense,past and present stuff before just wandering would that kinda stuff help me learn the language fluently when im over there

Right now im in mexico and going to a language institute for learning spanish. When I watch movies in spanish should i put english subtitles up or no. Im staying here for roughly a little more than two months, if anyone has any tips i would appreciate it.

I'm just curious. I do not understand why they need to take it. It is their first language, therefore, they already know how to speak it. I see many hispanics who speak Spanish as a first language, taking the Spanish course and they have no problems with it. I'm taking Spanish because I love learning languages and no, it is not my first language. It is my third.

Thank you for your kind answers!!!!

i dont have the disipline to learn languages online through those webssites and no money for tutors. But is there like a chatroom type thing where people teach each other spanish or any other language?

I want to be able to hear the words. What are some free websites, to learn diferent languages like spanish, chinese, japanese, and french

There is this episode where Turk learns Spanish to surprise Carla, but he decides to keep it secret so he can spy her out. In the Spanish dubbed version of Scrubs it wouldn't make sense for her to only speak Spanish. So what language does Turk learn? Also, where do they say Carla is from?

I am 20 years old.

I do have a background in learning other languages.
I have taken French in middle school and high school. Not fluent at all.
I have taken Arabic when I was living in an Arabic speaking country. I am no where close to being fluent. I used some on the street. But I got by with English, broken French, and broken Arabic.
The Arabic class that I took in Morocco was not really good. I barely retained anything.
I really want to become fluent in another language.

I really want to learn Spanish. I actually did not take any Spanish classes, I just use what I had picked up in the hallways/ school bus from high school.
I know that learning languages in a classroom is not a good way to pick up and speak a language fluently. Well, not for me.
Being thrown into another country to learn the language is way too tiring, and frustrating.

Is being 20 years old to old to learn another language and be able to speak it fluently?
I want to learn Spanish.

Thank you very much. Muchas gracias!
With classes, I am being taught a text book, not the language. If that makes sense.

Hmm... maybe if I take private classes, not ones that are academic then maybe that could be an option.

I need some help with a school project, please!
