hello, I am a student currently enrolled as a sophomore in high school. I am puerto rican and currently learning the Spanish language. (didn't learn it as a child)

after I am finish with the Spanish language, I am planning to learn some of the Slavic languages; eg. Russian, Ukrainian, Polish etc. I am very good at learning languages, I started learning Spanish a year and I am almost completed with it. Do you think it would be very difficult for me to learn these languages? Do you think I should learn these languages?

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 very interested in learning Spanish. Do you know a web page where I could buy online conversations trough Skype for exemple? Thank you!
I'm looking for real time conversations. I would like to improve my spoken Spanish. Thanks!!

im learning spanish right now and its going ok but im still having a hard time holding on to some of the information im learning. what study tips can anyone give me. also right now im using a computer program its pretty good and im also using free translation.com it helps with sentence building. like if i want to say can i be here later it gives you the translation(puede estoy aqui posterior). its very help full because it actually gives you the sentence they way you would say it as if you were talking to someone instead of the way the book shows you. but can that site or another site help with pronunciation. or is there a site that you can type in a sentence in english and get the translation in spanish. also i want to get my sign language back. when i was born my hearing developed slow for some reason and as i grew up it got better so i learned to sign at an early age and later when my hearing started to get better i stopped signing and never did it again. i want to learn again because i enjoyed it but didn't appreciated what i had. is there a site to learn signing again. thanks for the help
right now im all over the place. i have a computer program,using free translation.com,using a book,watching tv and listening to radio and getting help from friends so im trying every way.

I am in the process of learning Spanish, just started the Rosetta Stone computer thing and also audio cd course. Wondering if anyone knows of a good Spanish t.v. version of like Sesame Street where I could learn the basics, ABC's, numbers, etc., that is on Dish Network? I'm taking baby steps here, just starting out, so don't laugh too hard!

I thought as a hobby I would try to learn a little Spanish. I took two years of German, but I never tackled spanish. I find learning to read spanish text extremely easy, but trying to listen to fast talking Spanish speakers seems like a nightmare. I hear the first and last word in the sentence when they talk and everything else is fuzzy and I can't make out the words unless I hear it in slow motion. Learning Spanish CD's were easy to understand because they were short phrases the speakers said slowly, but when I try to use what I have learned and try to watch the spanish channel they just talk way to fast for me to even understand anything they are saying. I bought a learn Spanish audio CD's package and found it really easy to listen to coming and going from work, but when I try to watch the Spanish channel or a movie in Spanish they just talk way to fast for anything to be understood.

What am I doing wrong?

I'ev been learning Spanish for three years and have just recently been able to practice it...when i am fluent at it, is it much easier to learn french in the sentence structure way? I really wanna learn french too....Also, i think it what helped me learn spanish easier is because i already spoke tagalog(filipino), did it really help or i just think it did? THANK YOU ^_^

I am already learning spanish so don't say that one.

I've read somewhere that the older you are the harder it is to learn a new language im currently learning spanish as stated above but i want to learn italian before i get too old there very similar i dont want to confuse them what should i do
thanks everyone

Meaning, i began learning french freshman year (im a senior now)
in junior year i began learning spanish
is that enough time between the languages?
how long should i wait to learn my next language?

(i guess im referring to mixing the languages...i heard that waiting a few years between each helps with that)

I know French pretty well and I'm starting Spanish class this semester at my college. I know they are both Romance Languages but would already knowing French really help me at all in learning Spanish?

I'm going to start a project at my church, and i just wanna know if it will work.....
So, It's people really interested in learning Spanish?????
Are You???

for learning spanish, so not too many complicated words. im european so spanish de espana would be better!! thanks!

Im learning spanish and im a girl. Ive self taught myself alot of the language. But im still in need of help. Please, por favor?

I am very intrigued by foreign languages and other cultures. I plan to become a language translator or something of the sort . Anyway , i was wondering If it will become difficult to learn the Korean language and Spanish at the same time? I figured that learning two languages that are simular in vocabulary would probably be difficult and would end with confusion of the two.( French, Italian,Spanish) . But what If it was two extremely different languages and cultures such as Korean and Spanish ? Would that be difficult? I have been learning spanish for three years now so i already have an advantage with spanish . I have also taught my self A few things in the German language ... Its so hard for me to choose which language to dedicate all my time into because i want to speak so many! I am trying to start now because i am already in my late teens.. i hope that wont effect anything either.. Any suggestions?? Advice ?

I speak English and im learning Spanish. My boyfriend is from Mexico and has already learned most of English. I heard its English... Just wondering, and why?

PS: I live in Mexico now...

I either want to learn a musical instrument or a foreign language. If I learn a musical instrument, then I'm going to play the cello. But I also want to learn Spanish. I'm thinking of learning Spanish just because I already play piano, flute, and clarinet but I would like your opinion.

Im just interested since Im learning Spanish right now and in the future I would also like to learn Italian.
The reason I ask this is because I speak Ukrainian and I learned Russian automatically(basically) while it is difficult for Russians to understand Ukrainian.

I have heard that the two subjects are closely related and was wondering if their similarity could cause confusion in the same way that learning several languages at the same time would. I play four instruments (saxophone, trumpet, oboe and drums) and am learning Spanish. I'd love to learn many languages in the future and just hope that I'm not confusing myself.

I'm learning Spanish in university and I have no background in it. I enjoy learning it as I like studying languages. Is it possible to become fluent enough to teach it abroad? Where would I be able to teach it and how?

Thanks

He's mexican and Im learning spanish for him:p I talk as much as I can in spanish but what are some sweet girlfriend/boyfriend names?

I'm a native English speaker, going to be learning Spanish at university and Portuguese outside of it (the university doesn't offer Port). Currently I'm aiming to be based in South America after study. I have the option to do another language at university but I'm not sure which one to choose. What about Korean?

Im learning spanish now... after that i want to learn japanese since some of the same rules apply.

i want to learn more than just 2 languages so i can be a lil diff. you know. not the average joe who only speaks english.

I have been learning Spanish for 3 years, and I am okay at it. I've been learning Mandarin Chinese for 1 year, and am actually doing pretty good at that, but I am nowhere near fluent for either. If I tried to talk to a person who speaks Spanish/Mandarin, would they be happy I'm trying to learn, or think I'm just another stupid English-speaking person?

I always get embarrassed when I can't think of the right word...

I chose to get my degree in Linguistics. I have associates but am going for bachelors now. I chose this not only cause it interests me but I feel I have a natural knack for learning languages and that it comes quick to me. I am very good with catching onto almost all languages, mostly european. But without sounding mean, I am a bit biased against Spanish and I do not care to learn it which is possibly why I fail to learn it due to my subconscious feelings. Ive tried to learn it, even with software. So my question is, will anywhere hire a translator/interpreter if they dont know spanish? Honestly, i feel not learning spanish will keep me from having a career of only spanish translations as there are so many spanish speaking individuals in the us these days. I dont want to translate spanish all day. Any suggestions?
I already speak french and german fluently.

I have a 5 year old and 6 year old and we are planning 2 start learning Spanish this summer. We don't have any classes in our area so I was wanting 2 order a program or something 2 help us learn. Any suggestions on a good and easy way 2 learn Spanish?

Im learning Spanish right now and I'm not very good at it and i need help on how to form sentences and questions like does the adjective go after the noun or the noun after the adjective stuff like that.
Also, what is the differences between para and por and what does que mean in a question and sentence. Thx a lot.
