I would say 'amigos de habla hispana' instead of what you wrote, but your phrase is certainly used. The repositioning of the verb was to make the sentence sound better to the Spanish ear. |

There is no requirement that the verb directly follow the relative pronoun qué, but I think it sounds better that way. I found examples of it said both ways on the internet. You can check for yourself which looks más preferible.
Look at these examples, though: No sé qué piensan los colombianos (392 hits) vs. No sé qué los colombianos piensan (0 hits) No sé qué piensan mis amigos (4 hits) vs. No sé qué mis amigos piensan (0 hits) Me pregunto qué dirán mis amigos (10 hits) vs. Me pregunto qué mis amigos dirán (0 hits) |

I've heard sentences with structure like "qué + sujeto + verb" very often among Cubans in Miami, and it sounds unnatural to other Spanish speakers. I don't know if this kind of expression is used anywhere else in Caribbean countries.
They tend to ask "¿qué tú piensas?", "¿qué tú sentiste?", "¿cómo tú le hablaste?"... But most of us would prefer to hear "¿qué piensas (tú)?", "¿qué sentiste (tú)?", "¿cómo le hablaste (tú)?".

Yes, very often heard colloquially in Puerto Rico and Dominican Republic
as well as Cuba.

Quiero entender esos frases. Voy a traducir en Ingles para comprabar si entiendoles. ![]() I want to understand those sentences. I am going to translate them in English to check whether I understood them. I don't know what the Columbians think. I don't know what my friends think. I wonder what my friends say. I just guessed the 3rd sentence. I really don't know the meaning of diran. I tried to look it up in a dictionary but I couldn't find it. ![]() |

Are you questioning yourself?
Or you are telling us when you will able to learn Spanish. Then I can tell you if you endeavour more in your study, then I don't believe you delay a lot of time always you have animus for study even so it will be Sunday.
