Buenos Dias
 
Hello everyone.

My name is Kelsey. I've wanted to learn Spanish for years now. I'm in a University course using Destinos as a guide.

I have a hard time remembering vocabulary and an extremely difficult time with tenses. Most of my assignments were passed hugely due to the help of online translators. I know what I want to say, and can figure out for the most part how it has to be said in Spanish, however when it comes to actually writing out a sentence or paragraph - my brain just doesn't seem to get it.

I did well on my final exam, except for the tenses - due to how badly I did, I failed. I am doing my redo next week. I have to pass the exam to pass the course.

Hopefully being part of a forum like this will help me to learn better and make some new friends.

I don't mind at all!! Correct away!

I started out with no se, but thought it was wrong.
What is the difference between no sé and no tengo?

Pretty good. There's an 'Accents' drop-down menu above the text input box. It contains all the special characters you'll need to type in Spanish.

No sé = I don't know
no tengo = I don't have

Why no accent over the a in cuando? In my course all of those words have them - cuándo, cómo, cuál, cuánto ...

I have Spanish installed on my keyboard. That is another thing tengo con muchos difficulties - cuando to use the accents.

hermit

Gracias.

It is a written exam - should cover identification of correct words (para vs por), fill in the blanks, multiple choice, written essays (3 I think), grammatical structures, verbs (present, present & past progressive, preterite, imperfect, future & conditional) indicative mood (tenses), nouns & adjectives, prepositions, direct & indirect objects & pronouns, cultural topics and vocabulary from Destinos.

3.5 hours to do it all!

Bienvenida, chicadejeep :)

Creo que quieres correr demasiado y el aprendizaje es algo que necesita tiempo. ;)

No tengas miedo en buscar las palabras en el diccionario, es tu mejor amigo para aprenderlas (saber y tener son palabras muy diferentes, búscalas en un diccionario y lo verás :) )

Aprende los verbos despacio. Empieza con el presente, después ya irás avanzando. Haz frases con los verbos que vas aprendiendo. Por ejemplo:

yo soy - yo soy chicadejeep
tú eres -tú eres mi vecino
él es - él es mi profesor
etc.
Haz frases divertidas, porque así te acordarás más: yo soy chicadejeep y soy la más guapa del foro :D

Qué, cómo y cuándo se acentúan en preguntas y exclamaciones. Cuidado, también en preguntas indirectas, pero quizá para tu nivel es demasiado complicado explicarlo. De momento recuerda que en preguntas y exclamaciones llevan acento :)

Te escribo en español por dos motivos: primero porque me resulta más fácil; segundo, porque así tendrás que buscar las palabras en un diccionario. ;)

But welcome again :rose:

I sometimes have a hard time remember vocabulary, especially if it's long

Sí, ¡Soy muy impaciente aprender!
Pienso necesito compre un diccionario.
Pienso su idea es buena. Digo a mi esposo "Eres tiquismiquis" - it means you are really fussy, correcto?

So when 'what, who, where, when, etc' are not being used as questions, they are not accented? I will watch for indirect questions.

Usted es correcto - tenía mirar todo en un diccionario! Gracias por eso!
