What part of Spain were you in? I've never visited, but I'd like to some day. :)

I was only there for ten days, which was sad; we started in Madrid (with which I'm pretty much in love) and went farther south from there.

Shruti,

Necessito practicar me Espanol. Escribe a me en Engles y responde en Espanol.

Vale?

Re: I want to improve my English skills
 

Necesito practicar el Español. Me escribe en ingles y les reponderé en Español.

Re: I want to improve my English skills
 

Yo comprendo, "el Espanol", gracias!

Porque no Ingles pero ingles, cuando usa Espanol, no espanol?
Porque "les repondere"? Not "I will respond"? Is that "I will respond to them"?

Re: I want to improve my English skills
 

En inglés, los idiomas se deben de escribir con mayúsculas, ejemplo: I speak English; She speaks French; He speaks Japanese. Esto es para diferenciarlo del adjetivo, ejemplo: He is a japanese citizen; She is a French musician.

En español no, en ambos casos se escribe con minúsculas, ejemplo: Yo soy español; Ella es japonesa; Él es chino.

Espero haber sido claro.

I was not aware of that. Thank you. I'm used to proper nouns being capitalized. ;D

Hey English Student,

One of the best ways you can learn to speak English, is find a type of music that you enjoy thats done in English and start singing along with the words. Don't be concerned with the meaning of what you're saying at the first, just get the inflection and annunciation down first, then go after the meaning. You say that you do alot of reading , thats good; but whatever you read, read it out loud get used to hearing yourself speak whatever language you desire to learn. As far as getting discouraged, there is nothing wrong with that, it's when you quit because of the discouragement that you cheat yourself. As one respondent has already said, you already are better at English than some native speakers.


Until...

Yep, there's just different rules in Spanish ;D

In case English Student is trying to translate and understand, I believe this word should be enunciation.
