I'm a cashier at a store where a large majority of Spanish speaking individuals shop. I have this huge urge to say certain things in Spanish such as, "Gracias", "Lo Siento", "Hola" but it may come off as ignorance or arrogance. ESPECIALLY, if I just judge that person by their physical characteristics and accent without actually HEARING them speak Spanish.

i want to learn spanish over the summer cuz i think itd be nice. any tips?

also how do you relearn a language. sounds weird ik. but english is my second language i learned it when i was 5 and then dropped my other language. i still understand the other one but its hard for me to talk because i just can't remeber the words (yet i understand them perfectly) and i have a horrible accent

thnx!

Can you give me some examples of sentences that use this structure:
Se + verb
Example: Se prohible fumar (accent on the i in prohibe)
6 sentences please? Using Yo, Tu, El, Nosotros, Ustedes, Ellos/as

im 16 years old and ive been bilingual since i was a toddler. i can speak fluent french and english without any accent. I can understand when people speak spanish because it's similar to french but i cant speak it

the thing is i,ve always been told you can only learn a language fully when you are very young. im already 16...i fear if i try to learn spanish i will end up not being able to fully speak it or speak it with a horrible accent =/...

has anyone learned a language after 15 and are able to speak it correctly?
also i don't remember learning french or english...so how long does it take to learn a language?
if your gonna be rude dont answer
alberto thanks alot thats a great idea!practicing with songs =) i know shakira has alot of spanish songs ..and ya i guess the accent thing is true but i guess sometimes having an accent is kinda cute i heard

I've studied Spanish long time ago when I was in high school. I loved it so much. So I'm thinking may be I should start studying it again. I don't remember anything at all, no grammar, no vocabulary , nothing. So what can I possibly do to master it as quickly as possible. I really get bored if I kept studying and didn't get a noteworthy output.
I want to start writing and speaking like a native speaker but I don't know how?!!

Note: I have this audio book + pdf , I listen to the native speaker reading the article while reading from the pdf. But her accent seems very good. I can never be as good as her. Any idea how to improve my accent too (Please don't tell me to talk to native Spanish speakers because I'm not going to be able to do so, It's all self study)

I've studied at several and they all suck...Ecuador, Argentina, Costa Rica, Spain, Guatemala.

I want a Spanish school where the teachers aren't only locals, but actually educated with M.A's in education or Spanish language and teachers who acutally have teaching skills and don't only follow a book.

Please, nothing in Mexico (not interested in that accent).

So during class these two Puerto Rican guys talk about me. Like I help them both with their science work. When I try to help one, who I end up helping the most, the other guy will ask for help as well. I try to help them both, but the first guy says something in spanish, but one word pops up the most. It's like "carrone" or something. They talk in Spanish a lot lol.

They pronounce it like "Cow-roan" but with an accent, you know? They say caliente sometimes as well.

Any ideas as to what these words might be or mean?

I am a Spanish major looking into affordable study abroad programs for the fall semester, and for now my city choices are Valdivia, Chile, Morelia, Mexico, and Rosario, Argentina. I'm a 22 year old female and I am concerned about activities around the city, safety, and desirability of accent. I also prefer a more tropical feel (but it is not necessary), and less European influence. If you have any experience with any of these cities at all, please share your stories. Thanks!

I have been speaking basic Spanish for 4 years and have just now recently been speaking more of it. I have the accent down and the letters of the alphabet. How much Spanish could I learn if I spent a week of just immersing my self in it. Is it possible for me to speak fluently? By the way the place where I work there are Spanish speaking people, so I would have people to converse with. Thanks!

I mean, like a actual accent from Spain
