Re: Learn Spanish
Re: Learn Spanish Hello forumites. A great resource from where you can learn many languages is from a wonderful man whose name is Michele Thomas. He has studied many different languages throughout his lifetime, and he has found the simplest way to teach all of them. He cuts out all of the confusing terminology that might be used in textbooks, and he not only teaches language vocabulary, but he also teaches techniques that allow you to transform English words into words of the language of your choice. Instead of memorizing every single vocabulary word of the language, the language is broken down so you understand how it works and how to form your own words. Many celebrities today use his method to quickly learn languages, for example if a celebrity is traveling to paris and might want to learn a bit of French in advance. So there is a Michel Thomas app for Ios that is free (although I dont believe the courses are free). There is also a Michel Thomas website that I didnt know existed unti l I started writing this post where you can visit to learn more:www.michelthomas.comI have used this method to learn spanish. Although I havent completed the entire course, I would say that I am quite fluent already.

Re: Learn Spanish
Re: Learn Spanish Giovani, would you happen to have a Skype account? If so, I would really like to talk to you. You seem to know a lot about linguistics judging from another post that I read from you. Linguistics, among many other things, is one of my greatest passions. Ive studied French, Japanese, Mandarin, Arabic, Hindi, Korean, Tagalog, Swahili, and a little bit of German. I grew up speaking Spanish, and find the language to be very interesting. You see, my family originally speaks what many people call Mexican Spanish. This can obviously be considered a dialect. However, I have also become very interested in the many existing variants of the language. For example, Castilian Spanish, as it is formally taught in official curriculum, has an interesting inclusion of sounds that are not present in Latin American derivitives. Similarly, Cuban and Puertorico accents tend to omit the s sound at the end of words. As for your original question, my recommendation for learning any language is to get a good grasp on some of the foundational grammar. Also, although many courses leave this out, I would strongly encourage you learn the common colloquialisms that will be encountered in a particular country. However, overall, a generic technique to improve vocabulary and to enhance the understanding of grammatical constructs is to simply listen to media and/or native speakers of the target language. A good introduction course to the Spanish language is available from Pimsleur. In my personal experience, getting a little bit of practice every day really helped me to understand many of the language that I know today. One major example is Korean. I learned a bunch of Korean grammar, vocabulary, etc just from watching some K-Dramas and listening to K-Pop. Anyway, this message is getting a little too long. Let me know if you are interested in speaking to me about any linguistics topics. Unfortunately, I am swamped with university work and related matter. So, it will be some time be fore Ill get a chance to revisit this forum.

Re: Learn Spanish
Re: Learn Spanish Linguistics are definitely fascinating... Ive only studied the languages of interest to me, plus the five that I grew up speaking. I speak four different varieties of chinese, which some call dialects and some consider to be other languages depending on who you ask... french, spanish, Japanese and Korean. Would love to chat about this some time for sure as well if youre up to it... the sheer number of dialects that exists for especially the Asian languages I know are staggering. And not only Cubans and Puerto ricans drop their ss at the end of words or in the middle... most nations in central america will do this. Argentina, Nicaragua, El Savador, etc. And Venezuela is also known for this as well as the region of Andalucia in Spain. Its definitely an interesting aspect of the language to examine... and made learning it super difficult when I first started and wasnt aware. hahaha.

Re: Learn Spanish
Re: Learn Spanish If you have an i-Device, there is a fun app called Duo Lingo that helps you to learn various languages by using both verbal pronunciation as well as text. I havent played with it for long, but it seems quite fun. It also uses little mini-games as well to keep your mind sharp as you review what you have learned.

Re: Learn Spanish
Re: Learn Spanish I dont know much about how close spanish is to portuguese in portugal, but I definitely agree about being able to understand at least a little bit of each if you speak one or the other. I dont speak portuguese, but I can guess at words much of the time... and even speak a little, what is jokingly called portuñol.

Re: Learn Spanish
Re: Learn Spanish Look to prosody of Spanish, or some pronunciational things.Also I heard, this languages are not closer. Maybe Portuguese, but maybe this is false.

Re: Learn Spanish
Re: Learn Spanish Doesnt make it any more or less emotional for me... and Im not sure what you mean by prosody. but that is correct... spanish is closer to Portuguese. Though Italian pronounciation is much closer to spanish than Portuguese is. Take the word thank you, for example... Italian and spanish have similar words, but Portuguese is different.Spanish: GraciasItalian: grazziePortuguese: obrigado URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=206320#p206320 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector
Re: Learn Spanish
Re: Learn Spanish Hello.Yes, I speak brazilian portuguese and it is similar in some ways tospanish, though theoriginal portuguese from Portugal is more closer.But I think if you can understand portuguese or spanish, you can atleast understand some words of the other language.One difference of portuguese and spanish is that in portuguese you canwrite for example dele or dela (de ele and de ela) and in spanish youwrite de él and de ella in most cases.About the pronunciation, assault_freak is correct.
