Remember a lot of the so called Spanish speakers have Spanish as a second language too. <br />My hairdresser is from northern Mexico, married to a Yucateca, he told me that he has to translate for his daughter when she comes down to visit. LOL and this is in Spanish. <br />However, eventually it all works out. Importantly you will be able to read signs etc. <br />regards,<br />TheresaTheresa in Mèridahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17217945138741786373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7553308714264267273.post-30867061308190266722012-02-28T23:21:40.524-07:002012-02-28T23:21:40.524-07:00Well done!

You must be looking forward to putting all that studying to work very soon.Debbiehttp://www.themeridainitiative.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7553308714264267273.post-3592097118325818502012-02-28T10:45:18.742-07:002012-02-28T10:45:18.742-07:00Way to go!!!
I struggle to write it correctly as I...Way to go!!!<br />I struggle to write it correctly as I can never remember where to put the accents.<br />One thing that is good about Spanish is that once you can pronounce the alphabet you can pronounce any word as the sounds stay true to form, unlike English.<br />The verb tenses are my bug a boo and I will never be fluent because of this; but I keep trying.<br />My biggest problem now is that I can have a conversation and understand a fair amount so I am REALLY LAZY about studying which is very bad. The need is no longer as strong soooooo I procrastinate on studying.<br />My memory is bad also so nothing stays in my short term memory long enough to get into my long term memory, as problem from the Fibromyalgia.<br />If you have Skype or another type of voip on your computer we could also chat in the evenings to each other in Spanish if you would like to. I can use the practice also and it might make me work harder lol.<br />Here are a couple of sites that are helpful, if unlike me, you actually use them lol.<br /><br />http://www.lingq.com/<br /><br />http://www.spaleon.com/<br /><br />http://lomastv.com/<br /><br />Keep on trying. Good luck with the exam.Brenda Maashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03451724306271286173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7553308714264267273.post-73746410712098233702012-02-28T09:13:16.381-07:002012-02-28T09:13:16.381-07:00Lee, I need the class type setting to force me to ...Lee, I need the class type setting to force me to actually do the work. It's too easy to let things go without a deadline before me. If I don't finish the course by Wed, then I have to pay another $100 for an extension.<br /><br />But, like you, I also need to hear it regularly. I have a couple of my lesson CD's in the truck that I listen to as I'm driving. I read Progreso Hoy online and when I'm at home I listen to a Mérida radio station that I found through Google. What I need now is a place, online or not, where I'm required to speak/write to build up that part of language learning.<br /><br />I'm glad I inspired you.

You need a class setting, and I need immersion and constant reinforcement. <br /><br />You have inspired me to click on Rosetta Stone and Fluenz again, such as they are.Leehttp://www.imaginemerida.comnoreply@blogger.com
