Back to Learning, but serious this time
Hello all.
I'm back on the beat after a 10 year hiatus. I haven't tried to learn Spanish in a while, but now I've dedicated myself to it. I started reading any material I could get my hands on aloud. But my problem is understanding words when they run together. I do customer service for a company that prefers to use Translators and it has been a great help in re-jogging my Spanish memory. However I can only pick up words at my the level of a 2 or 3 year old. I hear and understand numbers, addresses, and basic words like entonces, verdad, and este, but anything that runs together is very hard for me to understand. If there is something like "de azucar al ferrocarril" why does it sound like Deazucarl-ferrocarril And how do people understand when it runs together like that? |

Hi welcome.
I think the best form to learn a lenguage is practice it I really do not know much about Spanish structure, but there are many people who know a lot around here. I think the only thing that could help you in serious talk, but my English is not good, so I always try my practice. Saludos |

The day of my very first Spanish language class, my teacher wrote the following on the board:
Jeet yet? Yeah, Jew? And he said that it was perfectly normal and natural English. All 20+ students in the class refused to believe him. Then he asked us to speak what he had written. We did, and instantly understood what we said as: Did you eat yet? Yeah, did you? All native speakers of any language run words together. It takes time and practice to develop the ability to comprehend speech at a native speaker's natural pace. If you don't have access to native speakers for face-to-face conversations, listening to a variety of audio recordings can help, especially if you can stop and rewind to hear a particular passage multiple times. |

Hola Aprendiendo por mi Futuro. Bienvenida.
You'll learn if you stick with it. All you need is "ganas". Stop watching TV in English and only watch TV in Spanish. Listen only to Spanish on the radio. That's what I did for two years straight. Get a Spanish speaking boyfriend and or Spanish speaking friends. I did. (Girlfriend for me.) You'll be ok if you enjoy the process of learning Spanish. Even if you don't understand when you listen to Spanish your subconscious is picking it up. Take a trip to Mexico/Spain and live with a Spanish speaking family. I did. Find out about learning Spanish with TPR. Last edited by Villa; May 03, 2014 at 09:10 AM. |

Chistoso, Zerk. Se dice extremo.
A veces penso que no he sido suficiente extremo. Cada minuto no escuchando el español es tiempo perdido. Last edited by Villa; May 06, 2014 at 09:04 AM. |
