I'm in Spanish 1 right now. Have been all year. Its very fun to be learning a foriegn language (even if I do hate all of the in-front of the class diolects!) and I was just wondering who else can speak spanish here. Obviously for some of you, it will be your first language. Just thought that I would post a topic to try and take our minds off the war!

Jgoo,

No hay nadie que puede hablar español aquí, en este mundo de fantasía del rede. Solamente podemos escribir furiosamente, esperando que alguien nos comprendiere....

Me hace feliz que quieras aprender una lengua extranjera. Es el primero paso hacia el conocimiento de nuestro mundo vasto. ¡Buena suerte en el viaje!

lol, Matt G. And also thanks for the words of encouragement. I got some of that and others I had to look up to translate. I'm not that advanced yet!

Ojala que el mantenga el interes en el idioma!

Aaaaa si si ( I can speak kitchen spanish(sll 90 words) but can't spell it

¿Querría poner unas apuestas? :p

¡Ay! ¡Que Dios me callaría!

Je peux seulement parler anglais et une autre langue. Mais, malheuresment, je ne prefere pas a parler cette langue. Je pense qu'on sais pourquoi avec le monde aujourd'hui.

It's definitely been awhile...

Ahhh, quelquechose que je peux comprendre! Je sais rien de l'espanol, mais un peu de francais.

<<je ne prefere pas a parler cette langue>>

Mais c'est une belle langue, oui?

Vat, methinks that Le Francais would be verboten now!

Matt G:

No querria correr el riesgo de hacer la apuesta como apenas ni una persona que logra mantener la interes por mucho tiempo!

Il y a des moments. Si votre famille est venu de la Louisiane, on apprend les choses comme "Laissez les bons temps roulez!", "C'est si bon!"

et aussi "boudin",
"gumbo",
"roux",
"cayenne", et
"etoufee".

Keeyaw!

J'ai une bonne idee! Les nutria en France! Jolly, quand est la commencee?

Los necios admiran lo que no comprenden. Pueblo idiota es seguridad del tirano.

pour moi, c'est un peu necessaire a Geneve pas que j'habite a cote de Geneve dans une ville avec 400 paysanne qui ne parle pas Anglais (naturalment ).

Mais, c'est encore dificil pour moi (et mon ecriture est pior (comme vous voulez voir!).

Eu posso falar um bocadinho de Portugues tambem si alguem e interessado ...

England (and I think the US?) have a terrible habit of not teaching languages "seriously". I don't mean the teachers are no good but since English seems to be a universal business language, there is never any encouragement from the society that it's important (and maybe for most, it isn't ... ?).

I've lived on 3 continents already and still travel frequently all over the place - however, although meetings are in English, it's always nice to be able to say a few words in local language. You fit in better, get more out of the location / people and don't get tarnished with the "ex-pat" / "senior manager just here to cause trouble" label ...

Of course, travelling doesn't help my piano practice any

I wonder I should not start speaking another language. I love French though.

Maybe it will disappear like Yiddisch, the language of Eastern Europe Jews.

Maybe France will feel to ashamed to export cheese or wine and the whole of these two traditions will disappear like the Dinosaurs have.

Maybe there will be a special international court for judging people who dare speak French after the outrageous behavior of their government.

Mama mia !

My favorite language of all is Italian.
Every time I go to Italy, everybody calls me "Dottore" (sometimes Commendatore, once Ingeniore).

Do you know that Jewish story :

Mary from Nazareth is sitting in Heaven with the friends of her village.

And they all say with great envy.
-Your son, he does have made a big success of himself
She sighs and says :
- I wanted him so much to be adoctor.

What has it got to do with Spanish, jgoo ?

Does anything has to have anything to do with anything on a spring day in Le Vesinet (very close to Paris).
:rolleyes:

Teve aqui um advogado paulista e uma poeta canadense, mas não os vejo mais. Só tem nós dois, parece, quem falam. Eu preciso sempre praticar para não me esquecer, e não tenho ninguém com quem falar!

Eu tenho a mesma problema (quase)... A minha Esposa e Portuguesa mas ela fala muito bem Inglesa e Francesa tambem. Portanto, para os muidos, nos falamos Inglesa em casa.

Ha 6 anos passado, eu vive en Cascais, Portugal (perto Lisboa) para 3 anos. Estava um bom experiencia mas agora eu me esquerco muitas palavras porque eu vive tambem em Bangkok e Hong Kong para 4 anos e eu aprende(?) Thai!

(Drat, this is more difficult than I thought - I used to be fairly fluent but now the words just come in French instead!)

Gary.

Français, portugais, espagnol... sont tout la même chose. Noch wenn man Deutsch im Rezept hinzufügt, wird man zweifellos konfus! Esperanto, anyone?

I love you, I love you...

Those were the days my friend. :rolleyes:

Apple, this nice thing about spanish is that if you know the alphabet, everything is spelled exactly how it sounds. Thats what my spanish teacher says anyway, and from the spanish the I know so far, it is holding true. However, there are some occasions, just like in english, where you must beware of the silent letter!!! Usually right at the beginning of the word.

LOL!!! Surely you mean AÑOS, not anos, which is something entirely different. Then again, I notice that you didn't use accents (or, in this case, those little curvery lines that you see sometimes over the n) anywhere else either. I just thought that that one was funny!
