Hello

Hello. "Me llamo Fazor", or at least on internet forums it is. I took some Spanish classes, starting in middle school, and continuing though my first few years of college. Sadly, in school, it never really sunk in. Vocabulary is vocabulary; but I never quite got the hang of conjugation and gramar.

Well, it's been years since school, but I recently became interested in giving the language another shot. It seems to be easier to grasp this time around, but now I lack the guidance and practice that being in an actual class provides. I've been looking for a place where I can practice speaking the language with people that can understand (rather than annoying people by speaking spanish to them even though they don't know the language, like I've been doing to my friends for the last week or so).

So far, this forum looks like it's exactly what I was looking for. So again, hello y hola!

Fazor,

Tambien hace muchos años desde yo estudié el espanol. Como tu, yo estudiaba a la secundaria y universidad, y la gramática se continúa ser una faena (?). Yo te encorajo olivdar de seriá perfecto, y trata apostar en español: lo gente aqui serán muy benigna cuando nos corrigir.

Welcome, Frazor.

The best way to improve your spanish is to use your spanish. Try it! They are very gentle here.

Yo te animo a olvidar lo de estar perfecto, y a tratar de postear (poner mensajes) en español. La gente aquí será muy amable cuando nos corrige.

I hope you don't mind some gentle correction.

I agree. There's a lot of translation websites available, but I don't want to talk like a machine. (I'm sure you all are familiar with how inaccurate they can be).

Gracias a todo.

Porque es una dia inactivo a mi trabajo, yo estoy escribiendo un poco sobre mi. Yo toco la guitarra. Me gusta música de Rock, y yo toco las canciónas de Foo-Fighters, Alice in Chains, y Nirvana usualmente. Mi hermano tocas tambien. El está mas buen de mi.

Me gusta pesco por perca. Cuando yo voy a el estanque de mis padres, mi sobrina Moira le gusta pesca tambien. Ella tienes cinco años.

Después de escuela primaria, yo fui a el Instituto de Arte en Pittsburgh por un año. Yo trasladé a la Universidad de Ohio en 2001 con especialidad en la Aplicación de Ley.

Hoy, yo trabajo en la industria de seguro.

Never you forget to music.

Sincerely yours.

No me importa. (Does that really mean "I don't mind"? To me it looks like "It's not important to me", which in english is a big difference.)

Me gusta coreccións.

Well done.

Sí. Pero, despues la muerte de Kurt, Dave Grohl formó los Foo-Fighters. En de punto de vista de aptitude musical, son mas buen de Nirvana.

And, to return the favor, I'll make some corrections of my own.

You have done a great job with this post. You almost (not have) mistakes in your redaction. If you want to use this construction, you should use "did not". A simpler construction might be "You made few mistakes."

I like, you. I like to fish with my wife and children. I also I like the music of nirvana (really that guys have took very well). I'm not sure how to correct that to match your intent Their music was excellent.
What a shame the guys committed suicide before If you're using the word "before" to denote past, the tense of 'committed' already does that. Also, I liked take the drum most when I was small. When I was a kid. But now I'm adult and I only teach the gusto for the music to my children.

Never you forget the music.

Sincerely yours.
Like you said, if you have any questions (or if I misunderstood anything) just ask. Thank you!
