Traveling to a spanish country is not a option. But what is the best course or courses combination to help me reach proficiency? (And yes i will be able to get my conversing in with natives ... im asking for actual courses like between tell me more, rocket spanish, synergy spanish, rosetta stone, instant immersion, ect ect....whats the best one to help me become TOTALLY fluent?

Wondering because it happens in vice versa.

I'm applying online to Best Buy right now. It asks if I speak any other languages. I have taken 2 years of Spanish and can communicate fairly well ( I understand it better than speaking), but should I put that on my application? Will it help me get the job? And if it does will I be thrown out to help every Spanish speaking person?

On a scale of 1-5, 5 being very important.

Do you ever wonder why so many immigrants to the US never even try to learn english?

I want to learn to speak and read spanish. I think that it would be a wonderful life skill to have! Has anyone used any language-learning tools that they especially liked? I have heard that the computer software "Rosetta Stone" is good- has anyone used it before? Did it work? Any other advice would be much appreciated. Thanks for your help!!

I'm totally lost and I tried using an oline translator but it was wrong.

Why do people say Puerto Ricans speak a "Ghetto Spanish" compared to Mexicans?
I hear people say that Puerto Ricans and many other Island Countries in the Caribbean speak the Spanish language in a "Ghetto" way as opposed to Mexicans who speak Spanish in a Clear and understandable way.

Can someone explain why people say this?

,people speak basque as their first language. This is one reason many people in the basque region believe they should separate from spain and become an independent country.Which would be an argument of supporters of this idea? A.Boundaries once settled should remain in place. B.Economic considerations will promote national unity. C.Political boundaries should reflect cultural characteristics. D.Natural boundaries should determine political boundaries.

I have noticed that some PuertoRiqueños don´t speak Spanish, just English.

Sort of like a homework totur. Even if I only get to learn a vocab word and verbs a-day or week. Just as long as I can learn.

would you say something to the school about them basically speaking spanish? it's not a spanish class

I took spanish for 3 years in middle school but I only rmember ola and hasta luega and stuff. Whats a good way to learn Spanish really fast and I mean conversations and no just words!!!

There are a lot of cognates in the ways the consonants and vowels are pronounced but I do not mean these two languages are similar because they're not. Spanish isn't Japanese and Japanese isn't Spanish. They're totally unrelated and have different spelling and grammar rules but the vowels only make the non-difference. So if I can speak Japanese and learn to speak Spanish with a Japanese accent, will I still be heard? And when I say heard, I mean understood.

would you have something to say about that at the school? and it's not a spanish class, she says it's a class with nothing but basically spanish speakers.

Please listen this dialogue and tell me whether its peninsular Spanish or Latin American Spanish. Thanks! :)

I'm building a business site in the united states, and was thinking about translating it to Spanish too.

I was wondering how many Spanish spokes are in the states?

I never heard of Belize before I got this new job. I work with a lot of Belizeans, Panamanians, and people from the Caribbean. When I looked up Belize, it said it was an English speaking country but my co workers(3 of them) are from Belize, and they speak Spanish with the rest of the Spanish speaking people at my job. Granted, they sound Jamaican when they speak English but I never knew they spoke Spanish. Please explain how, or why?..LOL

Thank you everyone, for the birthday wishes!

Or something like that? Thanks! My spanish sucks!
