generally

I learned English as a second language and got pretty good at it when I was a teenager. Now I want to learn Spanish as my third language but I'm too busy to be able to attend classes and frankly I haven't been able to find a good teacher or class so I decided to try it and learn it on my own. I'm wondering if there is a course that I can work with that focuses on listening and speaking maybe a series of audio books that I can listen to on my way to work?

I don't understand why. I mean, isn't this America? Don't we speak English here? I have to take it soon also, is it like really difficult?
@Adr- Village? Well you must be new to America. Welcome.

I'm half Hispanic and half Caucasian, and for some reason I feel like it's my responsibility to learn the language since I have the blood in me. (Not to mention here in the U.S. it's a dominant, beautiful language) But I have two questions:

One, where can I learn Spanish? Like, where can I get free complete lessons online? No Rosetta Stone, for I hear that it's fake and just waste of money.

And two, what if I marry a white male in my future? Will it be wrong to make my children learn Spanish as a first language, or will it be harder for them in their future?

I want to learn Spanish...after that i plan to learn german and Japanese...i live in Ohio.......what is the easiest way to learn Spanish?

I cant afford 0 for Rosetta Stone.

i know that there are grammar rules that exist for english that is why sometimes it gets so complicated but for spanish, does it have grammar rules as well? i think i want to learn spanish language to use in my job in the future. please answer. decent answers please . no room here for rudeness.

Come on, Cons.

You guys quote those lies all the time.
You could at least find out who's funding the lies you believe.
The answer is koch industries.
One of america's biggest oil producers and polluters.

The study was trash - complete and utter bunk.
Anyone with an ounce of sense could see it was trying to blame green jobs for jobs LOST IN A HUGE RECESSION.

But cons use it as a centerpiece in their war on science.
Its pathetic.

No experience in french or spanish..and not planning to take more spanish after this, just looking for an easy elective

I am traveling to Mexico and want to learn Spanish before I go. I'm sure I don't have enough time to learn the whole language (I only have like 4 months till I go) but i'd like to learn as much as I can. I can't afford Rosetta Stone so that's not an option. Are there any free or inexpensive alternatives that can teach me the language quickly?

I'm sudying for a degree right now and I really want to stand out when I finally go out to interview for positions. Also, I think it's impossible to get a good job anywhere in the U.S if you can't speak spanish. I speak a little but I have a bad dialect and I find myself saying something really insulting when I was actually trying to give a compliment. Any help that can be provided would be greatly appreciated.

Hola!
I'm Asian, planning to visit Barcelona for 3 months to learn the language and culture. Wondering wheres the best place to learn espanol from... and how long do i really need to grasp the language, to be able to communicate in spanish fluently. I stumbled upon the Don quijeto and Camino school website, which is better?
It seems Camino offers salsa classes as well. should i take that or is it better if i take salsa classes else where?

so i started spanish this year, and i have a miserable grade in it and i want to know how to remember it easily and learn it, any ideas are helpful (:

I've tried it all, flash cards, ect. but I need a good study tool.
Please Help,
Thanks!

I have a few movies that have Spanish and English on them. Would watching them expand my vocabulary?

I know some spanish. I can hold short conversations about limited topics in the present tense.

Sorry if you've already seen this question. I posted it a while ago, but it never showed up.

I am trying to learn Spanish and was hoping that you guys could help me find some websites that teach you online for free. I already know about busuu.com but are there any others? Please help, thanks!

I really want to learn Spanish and I have bought a course. So I'd like to know if they really work.

I like the mountains and the sea. If I had to choose one, I'd choose to live near mountains. I also would like to learn as much Spanish as I can. Madrid?

Any sites?

thx=]

I will graduate with a degree in Spanish this year and want to become completely fluent and thought if I could work for a few months in a spanish-speaking country, I'd learn much faster.

I'm trying to learn spanish and I've heard of listening to couching while sleeping but what about learning while sleeping?

I'd try it myself but I can afford to waste any sleep. I just thought I might hear what other people have to say until I decide I'll have to take a shot.

Thanks everyone.

Looking to learn Spanish on my commute. Thanks

I was wondering this cause right now in School I'm taking Spanish and think this was better than the other languages we got to pick from cause this language comes more in handy.
Am i right?
