Im honduran. About 95 percent of my family including my parents both speak english and spanish... I grew up not really speaking spanish. When I was little my mom tried teaching me but when I would go to school It seemed like I would get confused between the two languages english and spanish. So Teachers told my mom that I had a speech problem. So long story short in order to prevent problems in the future for me My parents just taught me english, never to really learn spanish again.

I am 20 years old now. If I hear a spanish person talking or when my parents talk in spanish I pretty much know exactly what they are saying. Most times I can repeat back in english word from word what I just heard in spanish. & Sometimes I get confused or thrown of by a certain word but I'm always on point as far as what the topic was regarding. So I'm not dumbfounded at all as far as spanish is concerned. BUT the problem comes when I have to speak back! I get tongue tied, I have to double think how to conjugate this word or that one. If I want to know what something means in spanish i have to ask or look it up. When 9 times out of the 10 i heard the word million of times before... FUNNY THING IS, I can read and write spanish(writing is not soo so perfect) but everything in spanish i perform so well in except speaking it. I guess its because i started learning through hearing and years ago when i got serious about it I started reading it. Then in highschool i took a spanish class for about three years where i learned more and also wrote in spanish...... I tried getting my parents to help, but sometimes my mom is impatient when i ask what this and that means. And she talks spanish to me because its something we are so use to doing. My Dad never speaks spanish, even in Honduras. Because he grew up on an Island where they only spoke english, and just recently he started speaking spanish often because of where he works but i think he prefers english better..... So right now its only me teaching myself, my only sources that I have is hearing others when they speak and an online translator. So I was wondering what can I do, to perfect at it speaking wise?? Thank You

I am studying Spanish but I am terrible at conjugating, especially in the past tense. A list of how you conjugate "to go" in the different tenses would be nice too. Thankyou!

What are some things that you did this week? Write 5 complete Spanish sentences describing what you did. Don't forget to conjugate your verbs in the preterite tense! (Use only -ar verbs)

If anyone would help, I would greatly appreciate it. I just really do not know how to do this.

Or is there anyone out there who is willing to teach me? =)
I already speak Spanish, but my Spanish is more peninsular Spanish. I'm aware that Argentines tend to conjugate their verbs differently, and use voseo instead of the tú form.

For example would you say "Después nosotros comimos nosotros limpiar." Or " Después nosotros comimos, limpiamos. Do you conjugate the first and second verb when their in the preterit, or just conjugate the first verb?
Yes, I am trying to say "after we ate, we cleaned."

If you had to translate a sentence like "You should work." Would you conjugate both should and work so it is translated to "Tú debes trabajas" or only conjugate the first so it is translated to "Tú debes trabajar"?

When do you conjugate in Japanese? I'm learning Japanese and the program I'm using says there's these "bases" and gives me 7 forms of conjugation. What are the "bases" used for?
@/?!, Damn that sucks, oh well I'm determined.
Any good sites on the bases?

and then select the tense to see the possible forms of conjugation? With more of an index-based feel? I could buy a "501 Spanish Verbs" book but would prefer to find a website that offered a similar search/output result.
I suppose I would want a reference guide/website - not a how to (like a YouTube clip). I understand the how to... but I'm not always familiar with all the stem-changers etc. So rather than googling how to conjugate "Ir" in the condicional present indicative form I would rather be able to select the verb in a drop down menu and select the tense/mood/etc in a different dropdown box (it would have to be a website with forms/data transfer etc). Hope that's more specific and I hope someone can actually find it. www.Myspanishlab.com was great, but it required a subscription (which was obtained during a college course and has since expired). Many thanks. ~ jp

you know if I post this in the homework section no one will respond.

so, I have a test tomorrow in Spanish and I get everything except the grammar part. I don't get when to conjugate the words :mi(s), tu(s), su(s), nuestro(s) or vuestro(s)

Ok sorry did not mean conjugate

I'm taking spanish class think about learn french too. I know that in spanish the verb change 6 time in the present tense and in the past 4 time. the first verbs need to be in conjugate the second verbs infinitive. you need to use the personal A. What about french grammar? Is there like spanish the verb end in -AR, -IR, and -ER. what are the end is french?

I want to say "a war has been fought" in Spanish, but I'm not sure which verbs to conjugate. Right now I conjugated it as "Una guerra ha sido luchada", is that correct?

Ok, no language is easy, admittedly, but I have to say out of all the languages one could learn, Spanish certainly is not the easiest. It's grammatical structure while resonably regular is significantly different to English - people say Spanish is a very regular language but it has enough irregular verbs, werid conjugations, general irregularities to drive someone round the bend.

The main positive things for an second language learner is that Spanish has a relatively easy pronouncation system (although not always), and is resonably phoenetic.

However, in my opinion, it is by no means the easiest language to learn for an English speaker. If you were looking for the easiest language to learn, then I feel that would be the main Germanic Scandinavian languages of Norwegian, Swedish and Danish. Those languages have a grammar strecture that is extremely close to English, the verbs don't generally conjugate and there are far less irregularities than Spanish.

I've never understood this myth about Spanish being easy, in my opinion, it's a complex language riddled with irregularities and annoyances for the second language speaker. It's a beautiful language once you learn it, but it's certainly a bumpy ride to get there, there are easier languages you could pick, in my opinion.

1. Ramon ayuda su madre a cocinar. Did i conjugate concinar correctly?
2. Ellos empezan a jugar al tenis despues de comer el almuerzo. Is empezan correct?

I'm taking Spanish 2A course right now and I would like to know how to properly ask questions in present progressive and how to say sentences in present progressive. And also, when and how do you conjugate the ending of the verb in a present progressive?

Thank you.

I know that they both mean "to be" and I know how to conjugate them. The trouble is that i don't quite know which of them to use in sentences and stuff. Any help would be appreciated especially acronyms or nomonic devices!!

Thanks!
