My son is 1 year old. We live in the United States. My first language is english. I believe the second most common language spoken in the U.S. is spanish ( the Puerto Rican dialect as well as the Mexican dialect), I want to know if you think my son should be given the opportunity to learn to speak spanish. Should I take an active part in encouraging the learning or stand by and see if he decides to pick it up on his own later in life with no encouragement?
I'm Puerto Rican and i don't know all the spanish i should know. I want to learn but i don't want to take a course at school. I don't want to learn grammar, i want to learn words i should know. I can pronounce words perfectly as i read them, i just don't know what i would be saying.
I'm a 17 yr old Puerto Rican and i cant speak spanish. I need a way to learn it. Is there any place online that i can learn it for free?
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'm English speaking and have a natural lisp that cannot be corrected without surgery. I only have problems with long "Sssss." I tried to learn Spanish in high school and found it hard, but everyone keeps telling me to try again that having a lisp will make it eaiser. By the way, my stepfather is Puerto Rican; what type of spanish should I learn to speak with him?
My boyfriend is Puerto Rican and speaks Spanish fluently, and when he gets mad at me he yells at me in Spanish. I want to suprise him one day and just bust out in Spanish and see his face!
I'm puerto rican. My padres don't speak much spanish. My abuelos thought it would be better if they didn't introduce them to spanish so that english would be their first language and life in America would be easier for them. I know simple phrases like; I'm hungry, How are you, When's your birthday?, etc. But....I want to be fluent. Any suggestions on how to learn spanish quickly and isn't expensive? I wanted the Rosetta Stone but the price is unbelieveable. Please help. Gracias. =)
