Buenas tardes!

My name is Jacqueline and I live in America. I have joined this site because I was to become more fluent in Spanish. I have taken Spanish all four years of high school and I am currently taking it in college.

I find the Latin Culture and Spanish Language very interesting. I can read it just fine, but my writing and speaking abilities aren't very good. So I am hoping with joining here that I will be welcomed and encouraged to speak/write Spanish and get tips on how to improve in the language.

Hola Jacqueline, Hope you enjoy the site - it's a great place to learn;
everybody is either a teacher or a student at any given moment...

What college/university are you attending?

Thank you for the greeting. I am sure I will enjoy myself here. Right now I attend Georgia State University. I am an English major, but after taking some Spanish classes, it has interested me. I hope to one day become fluent or at least know enough to be considered bi-lingual. I know I have a long way to go before reaching that point.

Hello Jacqueline.
Just I have a friend named so.
I bid you welcome to this website, I hope that your stay in the forums will be enjoyable.

Now if you would need to help with the language,please you don't hesitate to ask us then.
I'm in the same situation like you, because sometimes I can write well the language and sometimes I can't, really I don't know why.

Have good day.

My teacher calls me maravillosa in class. But I like the way maravilloso sounds more

As for siento, I thought the "o" changed to an "a" because I am a girl

Verbs don't have gender, but nouns and adjectives (and not all of them):

He: me siento contento y feliz.
She: me siento contenta y feliz.

@maravilloso: it means "splendid", "magnificent", "superb".

Not that word is almost the same that wonderful and splendid for me in my own personal opinion sound better.
