Hola, im a 20 year-old black female college student majoring in spanish. Although i made A's in all three semesters of spanish that ive taken so far, i still feel a little intimidated by the language. I know I can speak it well, to have just started learning spanish, b/c my professors & hispanic friends tell me. The problem is when they speak to me in the fast pace they are accustomed to. I can only catch a few words they say & its hard for me to respond sometimes. I watch those hispanic cable channels and I can only understand a few words, including the last word they might say at the end of a sentence lol. I even listen to the music, like reggaeton, bachata, & salsa, but I cant understand that unless I find the lyrics and translate the words. Im not necessarily asking someone to help me, unless u would like to, but if anyone can give me some words of encouragement or if someone understands what im going thru & can relate to it, i would appreciate some advice to ease my frustration. Gracias por su tiempo usted!
