Thanks both,
WRHOLT, thanks for the advice - i already have some understanding of the basics - how are you? how old are you? etc. Maybe i have gotten far to ahead of my station, and i need to drop back to the basics. I think I had a differnt approach as i feel if i understand the meanings and rules of a language then it should all fall into place. My problem is, for example, i know 'que tal?' means 'how are you', but i actually have no idea what 'que' or 'tel' means or why that when put together they make the equivalent of 'how are you?', so i feel it doesnt actually help me in the long run - im not sure if my logic makes any sense, but its something i am battling with at the moment.
Thanks again for taking the time to reply.
Kind regards,
Owain
