If someone can guide with the lyrics and I'll locate the phrases myself. It's for a spanish assignment due after Spring Break.
Thanks

I'd prefer people who are fluent in Spanish and/ or have spent some time living in a Spanish-speaking country to answer please.
When I say phrases I'm mean popular phrases like "You can't teach an old dog new tricks" or "It's not the quantity but the quality" or "There's no such thing as stupid questions" Stuff like that (not necessarily those in particular.)

I am hopefully getting a job at Best Buy (They just called me to come in for a third interview) and I speak Spanish pretty well. I am very good a learning languages but I unfortunately only know the vocab that they teach us at school in Spanish class.

What are some words/phrases that fluent speakers would use that I could use when talking to someone in Spanish if I get the job at Best Buy?

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'm trying to learn Spanish because I'm Mexican and I want to know my own language.
So I need a list of phrases please

I would like one that is geared toward learning business terms/phrases. My sister knows a little spanish already and is using Rosetta Stone to learn more but I would like to find her something that would help her in using business terms.

I'm the monitor on a camp bus and the driver is Spanish speaking. Unfortunately, I took French in school. He speaks some English, but I figured it would be useful to have some phrases to make things easier, like
turn left,
turn right,
turn around,
go straight,
the turn is in 2 blocks,
it's this/that house on the right/left
and anything else you can think that might be useful.

Thank you.

Hi Guys and Gals, I need your advice or opinions.

I've been trying to learn Spanish here and there for a bout 2 years.

I've picked up a few words and phrases, but I'm not getting to the poing where I can actually hold a 'full conversation' with a Spanish speaker.

Ive been using Google and a few learning Audio CD's. I recently picked up the Tell Me More - Spanish language series 1-9 (beginner to advanced). It's suppose to be better than the Rosetta stone system, but I still think I'm missing something... I'm cosidering taking a formal class at a local college.
My idea is to take a beginner level formal class, then maybe start the Tell me more series in 'Intermediate Mode' to move me to the next level.

What are your feelings on the formal classes vs the language learning systems like Rosetta Stone or Tell Me More?

What do you think about my idea about the formal beginner training, then using the Language systems to move me to the next level?

If I do take a formal class, is there any benefit from takin a class taught by a native speaker, or an American that has studied it for years?

Thanks for your time and input!

I'm doing a controlled assessment in spanish and I need to write about why friends are important. Does anyone have any suggestions for phrases I could use?

Useful Spanish subjunctive phrases which can be used in an essay? Thanks. I've got "que yo sepa", "sea lo que sea" and "creo que sea importante que...." so far but if anyone can suggest some more subjunctive phrases I would be very grateful.

I am having difficulty travelling around spain because I can not ask these phrases in spanish.

Translate the following thanks:

Please take a photograph of me here.

Groceries- tomatoes, bell peppers, onions, green chillies, red chillies, spices, eggs, oil, tomato sauce, pasta, candy, milk

I made a Mexican recipe and I have to share it with my class in Spanish. I'm not sure how to say the following phrases though.

"I made"
"The ingredients I needed were"
"I really liked it because it was full of caramel and very sweet."

I think I can handle the rest of the assignment, I just don't know how to say those!

I'm going to Costa Rica and despite being told English is spoken, I was told I should get a good English/Spanish Conversational Phrase dictionary. I don't want just words but basic phrases translated and also I understand they don't speak traditional Spanish. I'm looking for things like Can I have the bill, How do I get to..., I have a reservation, etc.

What are some funny or interesting Spanish sayings/ phrases?
: )

I have two Spanish exams coming up where i need to write an essay and include at least one phrase avoiding the passive voice. So, are there any set phrases in Spanish avoiding the passive voice that could be used in pretty much any essay?
(by the way i dont mean just using the active voice, I mean a phrase like "la casa se construyó" - but a phrase that could be used a lot)

Especially if I failed Spanish in HS both semesters and didn't fair any better in college, but I can recognize a few words, know some basic phrases and can fake my way through a conversation?

I know that Rosetta Stone only teaches you vocab and phrases and I was looking for a book to help me with the grammar portion of it, are there any suggestions?

How do you say these phrases in spanish?

My best friends are emily and maddie
They are 15 years old
Maddie is tall and has green eyes.
They play volleyball and tenis.
They go shopping and eat pizza.

Thanks a lot

hello, I'm in the BEGINNER stage of trying to learn some basic Spanish. I have been using audio lessons (Pimsleurs Spanish 1). There are a few things that confuse me, regarding certain sentences...

1. "ustel abla ingles"- 'ustel' means 'you', alba means 'you speak' and 'ingles' means 'english. This doesn't make much sense because it translates into 'you you speak english'. I have heard 'ustel' being said before phrases that start with 'you' several times. Also at the end of phrases as well:"entiende ustel" which would mean 'you understand you'. I'm a bit puzzled. Am i translating wrong? or not interpreting this right?

2. if bueno means 'good' then why is it said as 'buenos' in phrases like 'buenos dias'. wouldn't that mean 'goods day'. also if dia means 'day' then why is it said diaS' with an 's'. The sentence "goods days" doesn't seem right.

3. Is there an easy way to determine whether a word is masculine or feminine? (It is tricky having to chose the correct version of 'buenos')

I speak spanish but never really spoke it during sex was wondering what are some phrases said just to spice it up a bit!

In high school I (for some reason unknown to me now) too Latin as my foreign language...I wish that I had taken Spanish. My soon to be husband is Mexican and in 6 months we're moving to Mexico. He has taught me a few words/phrases, but I still pretty much know nothing. I've never met his family before and I want to be able to communicate with them right from the start.

I can't really afford to take a class, so what would you suggest? Also, I'm having trouble rolling my "r"s...my fiance tried to explain to me how to do it, but I just can't get it. I've looked on yahoo!answers for suggestions, but none of them helped but I thought I would ask again. Thank you!

I was told Spanish for Dummies is a good beginners one. Would I be learning the right words and phrases, or is there a better one out there?

email me kiwikiwi133@yahoo.com

I don't have a book yet because of my busy schedule but can someone please help me that KNOWS spanish? The translators help but not good enough.

These are the phrases:
el montanismo(the n has an accent)
la escalada deportiva
el esqui
el esqui acuatico
el monopatin
el patinaje en linea
la equitacion

I'm talking about words or short phrases often used in day to day speech that are unpleasant to hear because of their improper use, their wrong grammatical value and so on.

For instance, in English, such words are "whatever", "like" and "totally". Could someone tell me what their Spanish counterparts would be? Not as exact translation, but as speech irritation potential.

How would you say these phrases in spanish?

"I want this shirt, those glasses, and those sheets over there"

"I don't want to do anything either"

So today I found out we have a new girl in school. She doesn't speak english, only spanish. I also found out that she rides my bus! She seems extremely nice and polite and I really want to be able to talk to her, whether in simple sentences or a proper conversation. With all the spanish I know, it'll probably just be simple sentences and phrases:p

is there anything i can do or purchase to help me learn spanish better? All I really want to do is talk to her. My bus was very loud today and the people around me, although they are my friends, were very obnoxious and loud. I hope she didn't feel overwhelmed by everything.

So yes, how can I communicate with her better? any good books or anything online? Even games, I'll try.I just want to talk to her!!!:ppp

THANKS IN ADVANCE.<3

Whenever I hear Lionel Messi talk, I cannot understand him. I speak Mexican Spanish and I can, at times, pick up some words and phrases. However, I don't know if it's because Catalan sounds similar to Spanish or if he IS actually speaking Spanish.

i work in a preschool and i have six spanish speaking children in my classroom, three of the children are bi-linqual they can speak both spanish and english the other three can speak some but i want to learn how to speak spanish b/c i feel that if i am going to be successful at my job as a teacher i need to be able to communicate with all my children and i feel that the hispanic children would feel more comfortable if they knew that when they entered our classroom their was someone who can speak their lanquage. we do not have a translator in the building at all and i think that this is a disservice to the kids in my room...i have tried to listen to spanish tapes but it does not seem to be working i seem to learn more from the children b/c they teach me certain words and phrases in spanish but i want to learn more b/c i feel it is necessary to service not only our children but their families as well....
