¡¡¡ Muchas gracias por tus cumplidos y tus consejos !! ¡ Eres bastante amable! (quizás demasiado.. ) I agree with the points you mentioned here, it is quite difficult to take the level from good to very good. This will be a challenge in due time, I am sure. But I would really like to because I think Spanish is a wonderful language! Quote:
If I in turn can help you as well, I will be very happy to! Thank you so much for your encouraging words you are very kind. By the way, Mexico is an amazingly beautiful country and the Mexicans that I met when I was there a few years ago were so kind and helpful! I just wish it was a bit closer so it would be easier for me to return and see much more of your county. Last edited by EmpanadaRica; July 26, 2009 at 08:26 PM. |

I had some friends in the Netherlands and they were also very kind. I've been once in Holland and I fell in love with your country and with your people. There people speak English as well as Dutch, or that's my feeling. I also learnt a few words in Dutch, but it's a bit difficult language, you put together a lot of words and you have very long words with a lot of /j/ really difficult to pronunciate.

I'm glad my country and compatriots left a good impression on you! I have been in Spain a few times as well and it' s a beautiful country! But it was a long time ago since I have been there, so of course for my studies (and only for that of course.. ) I need to return soon.... And of course meet all my new friends and sample all the wonderful dishes I have been reading about.. You' re right, the pronunciation is one of the hardest things about my native language, as is wordorder (the verbs however are so much more simple and a lot easier to master than in Spanish..). But in case you are thinking about wanting to learn some, just let me know.. |

Thank you for the hint. I written sufficient instead of enough. Although they together sound like. Of course when you need to help in Spanish, I'll be glad in help you and give you support.

' Sufficient' and ' enough' can both be used more or less interchangeably as adjective ('It is sufficient' or 'it is enough'). However in your original post you used it as a verb ('but it doesn't sufficient'). The verb would be 'to suffice' , so in that case you would have to say 'it doesn't suffice' (which is also fine). Si tienes razón, son muy parecidas estas palabras. Thank you for your offer of help, I will need your help often I think!! ¡¡¡Muchas gracias!!! |

I really think that for adults submersion should be preceeded by basic grammar, vocabulary and, in the case of Spanish,knowledge verb forms. Without that knowledge, submersion can be a very alienating experience.
A student's own motivation is the most valuable tool.

Even although, I'm not a English native, sometimes I feel that my English can be getting better. Whatever, if you need to help in Spanish, please you don't hesitate to ask me whatever.

Or you could use the character map available in all operating systems that I have used from windows 98 to linux to windows vista. Kind of slow. A little faster is memorizing the number of the character and press ALT+Number for example ñ is ALT+0241. Vista shows this number in the character map. I like the way my google phone does the characters. You long press a letter and if available it gives the accented character. If you could do this in vista it would be great. |

¡Muchas gracias Chris! I think I will go and try the add-ons (a very good idea!) and if that doesn't work I can memorize the ALT combinations (I knew about those just wanted to find a better sollution )
Thanx a lot for your suggestions!
