I was wondering if anyone reading this forum is learning Spanish, maybe we could help encourage you.
What about telling us your newest Spanish word or even your favourite Spanish word?

I am taking night classes. I'm not really sure that I have a favorite word. Maybe marido.

Hi Wednesday,
Fantastic, I really believe you should be able to at least get by in the language of the country you move to.
BUT I know it's difficult - I remember it well. So frustrating and the feelings of complete helplessness at times.
My favourtie Spanish word is alcachofa which means artichoke.
Although alcachofa de ducha means shower head!
Take it a word at a time, and dont get disheartened when you look a word up in the dictionary for the eighth time I did that too.

I'm learning - but slowly. I find the verbs very difficult!

Hi Kate,
It is diffcult, but don't worry about the verb tenses too much at first.
Word by word you'll get there.

My teacher is from Brazil, so there are some differences. One thing that she suggested and I am finding helpful was to use post its and write the Spanish word on the post it and then stick it to the item that it is. I pretty much have my office covered now, but it's been harder at home. Just a thought.

That's a good idea.
I suggest to friends that they learn 2 or 3 new words everyday.
Write them on a sticky note and put them somewhere you look at often like the fridge or TV!
When happy with those words, write a list without the meaning, and check it over a least once a day.

use post its and write the Spanish word on the post it and then stick it to the item that it is. Try sticking a post-it note with 'alcachofa de ducha' on your showerhead !  That's a very pictorial image...if anyone has ever seen a fully opened artichoke they'll see the similarity!
