Have you ever met a person who spoke a language fluently who DIDN'T have a large vocabulary? There are many ways to get one. Growing up in the culture is a slow way to do it, but children have lots of time. Memorizing vocabulary like an adult is a much faster way to do it. Having the vocabulary does not mean you are fluent, but you CAN'T be fluent without the vocabulary >> Now I'm going back to my Spanish studies, > > If you think you can learn to Speak spanish by memorising text-book > phrases, good luck to you. You'll need it. Che, no seas pelotudo. Estoy en Buenos Aires...ya puedo hablar castellano bastante bien. Obviamente sos tan loco.
