Hola a todos!

I'm Ramona and I'd like to learn how to speak spanish. I know several words and phrases but I'd like to be able to carry a conversation. I look like I should be able to speak spanish and often am approached by people speaking spanish and I'm embarrased to say "no intiendo" :(

I plan on purchasing Rosetta Stone soon and hopefully that will help out with my learning too. The problem is it's hard to figure out where to start with everything. It's a little overwhelming.

Yes, learning a language is never a simple task. It can be quite overwhelming.

Take small bites. ;)

By the way ...

entender (stem-changing verb in the present indicative tense)
