I am thinking of taking my son to Italy or Spain for a month to learn a language - which is more useful?

Im going to stay with a family member in Spain for 5 weeks in September, i'd like to be able to speak spanish to help me get around easier. I already know the basics, numbers, days, months, colours, family members, that kind of thing etc. But whats the best way to learn as much as I can to speak like proper conversations fast?

What Spanish noun would you use to talk about a fly buzzing around your head? Which article (un or una) would you use?

Which Spanish verb would you use to talk about taking a flight to Spain for a vacation? Would you have to change it in order to say“I fly?”

help please!

I need to be fluent in spanish by the time I graduate from college, but I would like to do this through immersion programs rather than taking classes. What are some of the best immersion programs for learning spanish? I am especially interested in summer programs in Spain.

Differ from Spain language and El salvador language

I would like to study abroad next spring in a Spanish-speaking country to help me become more fluent. In the fall I will be starting in the 300-level university Spanish classes, which puts me at an intermediate to advanced level. I want to make sure I choose a country that doesn't have too strong of an accent so they will be able to understand me and vice-versa. I have been thinking about Spain, Argentina or Chile so far. Any suggestions? Thanks!

1. Where are you from?
2. What Spanish do you study? Spanish from Spain, Mexico...?

A simple question. I'm just curious.

I'll give 10 points. I always do

American Sign Language (ASL)
I have been study Spanish little more deeper and I start to realize Spanish's grammar is almost or some similar as (ASL)'s grammar.
My point is those people who speak Spanish and those Deaf people in American don't live together and how in the world did Spanish and (ASL) grammar is almost so similar?
Why is that? or How did that happened?
To let you know that I am Deaf and my first language is (ASL).

Thanks.
@ Californiamama: You said it true, but the question how did in the world Mexician or Spain get almost same as in ASL?
I ask because ASL is in America and those people speak Spanish don't know Sign Language and how in the world we almost have same grammar?
@ JH ♥ ASL * 愛万多* Happy A: Yes, I know ASL history, but how did Spanish get so similar with ASL? And yes ASL is coming from French.
And I am thinking that English language is not pure language? Because those many other countries are so smiliar and how in the world did ASL are so similar like their languages?
Sorry, folks, I should have write English proper, but my mind is on ASL now.

I have a friend coming to visit from Spain in a few months who I believe is bringing their boyfriend. I don't know for sure if he speaks english so I'd like to at least be able to say some things to him in spanish. Anyone know of any really good, easy to understand spanish books or programs that I could learn quickly from? It would also be great if they weren't too spendy.

Thanks for any help you can give!

I am planning to pursue a second degree in Spain. I am a graduate of civil engineering in the Philippines and I passed the licensure exams. I have also been studying spanish for about a year now and I can speak basic Spanish. Would the universities credit the subjects that I have already taken (i.e. Physical education, religion)? Do you think it is a good idea for me to study in Spain?

i went to Spain with a scholarship and i learned how to talk in spanish , but i'm starting to forget ...who can help me remember and maybe teach me more words and expresions ( over yahoo messenger ) ...my id is dan_stefanica@yahoo.com ... thank you

What are the four variations of the Spanish language within Spain?
I know the speak Castellano in Catalan

I really need to learn this language, but all I have found were websites asking me to pay like .95 for something that doesn't even seem like it works. Does anyone know a website I could go on or something that will give me the opportunity to learn spanish for free?
And I would also like to add that I want to learn Latin American spanish, not European spanish (i.e. Spain) Thanks for the help.

Im making a curriculum Vitae for my boyfriend. Im doing it in Spanish (seeing as we live in Spain) I know Spanish but this is really starting to confuse me.

Ive done half of it already, like personal details and his knowledge of technology.

Now i need to put together the rest but im not sure how, My boyfriend can talk English and Spanish, he has done bar work and worked at the sunbeds on a beach which is an 'amacero' in Spanish. How can i organize and put this information together. He is very Active person, and gets on with tourists amazingly. He also has 'GRADUADO ESO,' Which is like GCSE's

All i need is some help organizing this information, like putting it under different titles and stuff, anything can help, even if you maybe give me a template in English and then i can try and translate, i just need help setting it out professionally.

Anything helps, thanks in advance. x
Bar work - 2008 - 2010
Amacero - 2010 - 2011

Is this how i should set it out? And what title can i put above this?

I'm a sophomore in college and in order to get my bachelors of arts requirement, I would need to take two years of a foreign language. I'm already fluent in Arabic but due to some dialect issues, I wouldn't be able to exit out.

I studied Spanish in high school and received A's and B's but I was mostly bored by the language.

I think Italian is a beautiful language and I want to do a term abroad in Italy next year. However, if I take Spanish, I could do a term in Spain.

I'm obviously leaning toward Italian but I'm hesitant because I would be taking a year of a language over the summer (three terms in three months). It's very intensive and it would be easier to take Spanish since I've already been exposed to the language.

So, the real question is, do I protect my GPA by taking Spanish even though it doesn't interest me or do I take a chance on Italian and hopefully go to Italy next year?

For example is the Spanish spoken by people from Mexico different from the Spanish spoken by people from Spain?

Hey, I was trying to arrange a good plan for xmas, and a friend of mine suggested a Spanish intensive course in Spain she heard about… it’s such a great idea but I’m a little afraid of making a bad choice. Could anyone give me information about a reputable school in Spain with this kind of program?? Is it a good period to go to Spain and visit places? Thanks!

Hello I need an advice...I finished my collage and I would like to go to Spain to study spanish for one year...Could you anybody recommend me any language school in Spain which you have attended for whole one academic year and was it good? I would be really grateful

Why didn't Spain force The Spanish language on the Philippines like they did to the Native Americans.

I’ve earned some money and want to spend it travelling, but I’ve thought it would be a good idea to take advantage of it and improve my language skills. I’d like to get better in Spanish or German (Spanish first!) but I don’t know any good school offering this kind of program. What I would really like to do is visit several cities in the country spending some time on Spanish lessons… does something like this even exist?? I’d rather do it in Spain. Help please!

I want to find something that I can listen to... SpanishDict has flashcards to learn spanish from spain... its shows the flashcard and there is an audio bit that says the word, ex: llegar-to arrive. I want to find something similar with audio that would say "shay-gar" using the Rio de la plate pronunciation instead of the Catalian pronunciation.

This is an stereotype that really bothers me ... I speak spanish and some other languages; When somebody ask me if I'm from Mexico... I get really pissed
Hey Dude... not only in mexico people speak spanish, almost all southamerica but Brasil speak spanish, the you have Spain, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, etc...
And yeah... I can tell when people is from the south, east, west, canada, Australia or England..

I am so psyched to go to Spain. I have wanted to go for the past few months, but my Spanish sucks (I'm still workin' on it) and I am afraid that if I go visit I will be laughed out of town as the stupid American I am:) For those of you who know, if I were to decide to go, what would be the best place(s) to visit considering my mediocre Spanish skills-where English is somewhat acceptable? Thanks for your help! (SERIOUS REPLIES ONLY)
Muy bien! You guys gave the best answers I have ever received for any question I have ever asked on this site. I appreciate all of your help. It will be very hard to choose a best answer. I'll take your recommendations and visit Barcelona for my graduation present next year. Thanks a lot!!
