I am black male person (attend college) mixed with Antigan and Guyanese ( South America) and everytime I talk to a girl she is basically spanish (mostly Dominican or Puerto rican) . I love spanish women especially the ones with heavy accents . I don't know why I love spanish girls but sometimes my cousin labels me as a latina magnet is that a bad thing?

I have just booked my flights to South America in August. I dont speak any Spanish. Do i need to speak Spanish to travel around south america? If so, i would love advice on how to learn spanish quickly and cheap.

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?

Does anyone know of a good summer study abroad in Central or South America for a college student to learn Spanish?

Hello I'm about to go to college for biology, and one of my passions are the wildife of South America, also the culture, and landscape. I am learning Brazilian Portuguese now but I also want to learn Spanish. Would I get the languages mixed up if I learned them at the same time?

I am taking a double degree in International relations/Political science and Law. I live in New Zealand and I plan to be a diplomat. I want to learn a language and cant decide between Italian and Spanish. Italian is my preference but I am aware that more people speak Spanish throughout the world. Which would you reccomend? Or I could take one language for the first 3 years of college and a second in my last two years. I am also considering going on an exchange during my second year of college .. would you reccomend south america, spain or Italy.

Thankyou

Just wondering whether German language is being studied nowadays by so many people , or most of people prefer choosing Spanish as their second language. And If so , why do people avoid learning German and go for Spanish ? Though Germany has a strong economy and being able to speak German can be a really great asset in contrary with Spanish as the person will only be able to communicate with Hispanics ; especially those who come from south America . Thereby , they won't be able to utilize from their Spanish in Business world .

What do you think ??

Thanks in advance .

I was scanning around on my shortwave radio and I came across a station on 5898khz that was just blurting out random numbers in Spanish. The transmission lasted about an hour and then the station disappeared. Why would a radio station just blurt out random numbers? What is the point of it? I am assuming since it was in Spanish that maybe I was picking up a station from Mexico or South America. Has anyone else heard this mysterious transmission on shortwave?

because my company is sending me to South America for three months. Also, I want to make sure the Spanish I learn is the Spanish they speak in Latin America. I think it is different from in Spain. What is the best way to learn how to speak Spanish for my situation?

I went to Sevilla,Spain with my black friend, and people would stare at my friend giving her mean gestures. One time a spaniard was serving us some food and was talking in spanish and we over heard the name "ne.gra".I heard in many parts in South America and Cuba b/c of the european spanish influence many of them don't want to mix with black people...How sad, I thought Spain was more advanced.

My girlfiriend and I have been wanting to travel to South America for sometime, and we are defintly going to go this year. The only problems we have are that neither of us speak a sufficent amount of spanish, and we both understand it can be difficult. We we're looking for a fun safe place for two S.A. nubes

im a university student in my second year and wanted to learn spanish (latin american or regular) so after uni i can go travelling round south america but was wondering how to go about it. should i hire a private tutor? try and teach it to myself with books? or would it be possible to apply for night classes in my universitys city? what do you think? thankyou xx

I want to learn spanish i have been taking it in school but i only understand reading and writing well.... any suggestions besides going to south america?

I want to study Spanish abroad. Where should I go? Central America? Puerto Rico? The Carribeans? South America? Spain? Which country do you think would be awesome? I'd appreciate any input, but if anyone has first-hand experience that would be absolutely great!!
Thanks in advance ★

Well, just because Brazil is located in South America and is surrounded by spanish speaking countries it doesnt mean we speak spanish!
I get sooooo angry when someone comes to me and say: "Ohhh, you are Brazilian, you speak spanish right?"

If I were to go to South America, I know they wouldn't be catering to my needs and my language should I decide to become a citizen. I would have to become completely fluent - no translator would be provided. I would not be allowed automatic foodstamps, housing, welfare. I would be expected to function like everyone else, including speaking the language coherently and fluently. If the US is going to go to such great lengths to make immigrants comfortable here, shouldn't other countries do the same for immigrants to their countries? And to visitors from other countries who live and work there? Fair is fair.

I am majoring in Spanish and I really want to spend a semester studying abroad. I'm torn about whether I should go to Spain, Mexico, or a country in Central or South America. I've never left the United States, so all of these places would be new to me. I am looking for a really exciting cultural experience.
Has anyone traveled to a particular area that they found interesting? I would like as much input as I can get. Thanks

Everywhere you go now, Spanish is everywhere. Often, the Spanish writings are even larger than English ones. Do you think this is encouraging illegal immigration? Why is society doing that? If you go to any public service place and Spanish is the norm.
@forgot my name , just to be fair, I think illegal immigration is from South America since it's the closest countries.

This is what I need to say: "I'm hoping to come down there soon with my father. I want to travel and see the world, especially South America. By the way, I didn't know it was difficult to get a visa into the US."

Thanks, everybody. I'm slowly learning Spanish but lately been working overtime making some documentaries, so I haven't had time to hit the books lately. Besides, I got Yahoo/Answers

I'm planning on traveling to South America later this year. I would like to spend the first month learning spanish at some sort of school or program. I am flexible as to what country I travel to, but what I would like is a school or program that is reasonably priced (around 00 for the month) and that provides accommodation.

Hey! I already speak French fluently and have some experience in learning Spanish, but I'm looking for a way to really learn it, so that I can go to South America and live there for a while. I know that the best way to learn would be to just go there, but the jobs I will be applying for require some level of fluency, so I need to be prepared beforehand. Any ideas? Some people have suggested watching movies and learning songs by heart. Has this worked for anyone?

I'm going to be in the IB program starting next year, and need 4 years of the same language. I know that more people speak Spanish, but what about in Europe? I'm not very interested in going to South America. I plan on going to Europe to countries like Germany, Switzerland, Netherlands...western countries. Which of the two languages is more used there?

I'm looking for books by a few American authors that were originally written in Spanish, not written in English and later translated.

By American I mean the U.S. only, not other parts of North/South America.

The original language should be Spanish.

Does anyone know of any? Thanks!

This just makes me mad. I visited South America and all there movies and television were in english, most kids new a pretty good amount of English from school. and they didnt complain. but americans, there like "why should i learn another language. Im from the United States of America bitch! we dont need to have another language!" People from other countries are willing to embrace another countries culture and langauge but people from the U.S are to cocky or lazy to. This is why people hate us, we all think we are to good for everyone else.
Thank u for all the people who politely argued against me. I appreciated it, But all u people who freaked the fuck out get a life. I love america I was not trying to offened anyone. I was just saying that most of the americans I know are so ignorant and hate any foreigners who speak another language. i didnt mean to make it seem like all. Some of y'all are racist not everyone who comes here is illegal and THEAmericanPatriot i kno 3 languages, its not like i was trying to type all perfectly on a freakin Yahoo answers shit board.

I am looking to study Spanish in a great location in South America for several weeks. I am a US citizen and would prefer somewhere outside of a major city where it might be less expensive. There are so many schools out there it seems difficult to tell which are good. I am open to schools with home-stay options though this is not necessary. SPECIFIC school names (or links to websites) would be much appreciated. Thanks!!

I am interested in studying Spanish in Mexico or South America. I want to study as an international student at a university, rather than going through a Spanish language program (such as don Quixote). Which universities have the best Spanish programs for international students?

Of course next to the Koran. Spanish is being studied by emerging young terrorists.

Do they plan to Start working their magic in South America. Or is walking across the Arizona Border more timely
