Even though you have to go through several countries to get from Spain to Germany, they are closer together than California and New York. The difference from Spain to Germany would be similar to the distance from Florida to New York.

I had a little to interesting in your commentary about your learning.

I know that the English is not so harder to learn, because I can understand that exist other language harder to learn, but I find a little to hard to learn this language because as the things, if you aren't familiarize with the language always will be hard for you, and other depends of as you can learn the language, for example you took a couple to months learning German, I guess that in you learnt in a school, and your teacher had the opportunity to teach you Spanish too, and I believe that it's the opportunity that everybody wants to have someday, you speak my tongue native very well, and I'm not with the English, then I suggest that if one person needs to learn some language someday to anyway, they must assist some school first, in fact I believe that the learning on line is good or other good chose for the people who has not the opportunity to assist to a school for learn the language, but if you get endeavor during the time that you finish to learn the language, I believe that you will get the successful in your learning, so I have found interesting your story or commentary about, I'd like to learn the English as you learnt the Spanish in a couple to months but, sometimes I can't do it.

Well, Just I wanted to do one commentary about your experience in your trip of the language world.

Congratulation for your knowledge acquired during your life.

And I don't believe about of the chances, if you don't learn anything then you won't learn anything even so you studied anywhere.

A Wish:

An Emotion:
Me gusta que que hables español - I like the fact that you speak Spanish.

Certain impersonal expressions:
Es dudoso que vengo - It's doubtful that he will come.
Ojalá que venga - Hopefully he will come.

A Doubt
Dudo que venga - I doubt he'll come.

A Request
Te pido que vengas a la casa - I'd like to ask you to come to the house.

One final addition:

To make the language more difficult for foreigners!!

David, please you will be so nice to answering me my questions that I made before, if you can do it, I know that perhaps you haven't time for your job, but I'm interesting in your method of learn the language, because I want to get the same practice in English and it working then it will working to me, then please you read my last post and give me one thought about it.

I would know if you took a couple to months before to learn the language in your case Spanish right.

irmamar June 05, 2009 01:49 PM

Crotalito, I think Tomisimo said that he had studied German for a couple of years, not for a couple of months. There is a little difference ;)

It's interesting, if you have studied during two years those language, then you can know much about the language, then you are able to teach somebody.

Yes, I could teach someone what I know, but to be honest, it's not much. :(

Hmm Moroccan is difficult..a mix of Berber and Arabic.. I was there once for about a month but I learned little more than 'wacha' which I believe means as much as ok :rolleyes: Very difficult pronunciation as well.

Well I would like to learn:
- Portuguese
- Italian
- Turkish
- Greek
- Maybe a Scandinavic language, Danish, Swedish?

Not necessarily in that order.. :D
Perhaps other languages as well.. But first I want to focuss completely on Spanish until I have reached a somewhat acceptable level.. :)

So it will be a while.. :D

I studied Latin for two years, but I can't hardly remember any declensions or conjugations (or I can only remember some declensions or conjugations)
These are fine points, but your knowledge of English is good--so it's time. Officially there is no double negative in well-spoken English, but take that rule with a grain of salt (which means don't take it too seriously.) Any always goes with the negative. Some always goes with the positive. (can't and any is much like no and ningún)
Other examples: I don't have any money/I have some money.
