I'm sorry to hear that they wouldn't want you to speak to them because you can't speak spanish. 1st lesson its not jo its yo. lol
second its not hard my husband just recently started to pick up. I think he has more of a motivation due to the fact that we have a 20mth old daughter. You can email me a bubba31905@aol.com my name is Mimi. Yo te puedo habla en espanol si queres.

Su nueva amiga

IT'S NICE THAT YOUR TRYING TO HELP SOMEONE, BUT BEFORE YOU DO MAYBE YOU SHOULD BUY A SPANISH ENGLISH DICTIONARY BECAUSE ITS QUIERES. NOT QUERES
NO HARD FEELINGS JUST CONSTRUCTIVE CRITISISM

I am trying to learn spanish as well. Here is what I'm doing. I took a beginner class last year for about 13 weeks to get me started. While taking the course, I enlisted the support and help of my spanish speaking friends. They would correct me when I said words incorrectly. At first, I was embarrassed but I soon got over it because I wanted to learn. Ahora, I go to mexican grocery stores, go see spanish movies. Now I can order my foods in spansish. It takes time to build your vocabulary.

Remember, to learn anything takes practice. The more you do it, the better you get. Feel free to email me at sunday@ameritech.net. I also write my friends in Spanish for practice. I'd be happy to help and ENCOURAGE you!

Sunday in Chicago

Es bueno y hasta fortificante escuchar que hay mucha gente interesada en mejorar su español o tal vez aprenderlo. Una de las sugerencias que puedo ofrecer es que comienzen a escribir y hablar en español. Adicional a esto tienen que tener una actitud que les permita aceptar lo errores y estar dispuetos a correguirlos; eso equivale a aceptar las críticas de manera constructiva.
Pero por otro lado no podemos estar ofendiendonos los unos a los otros porque lo único que coseguiremos será desvanecer las aspiraciones de los que tiene la buena voluntad de correguir su idioma NACIONAL -ESPAÑOL.
Suerte a todo aquel que ha tomado esa desición y , como decimos en PR, PA' LANTE.

luv2luv2luvgeo, another simple detail: it's not "est", that's french. The correct form is "es" without the "t". Also,you're saying "Il" that's also french. You have to say "su" if you're trying to say "his" like in "his family". What I noticed is that you're mixing french, spanish and english and it will bring you a lot of confusion. So my recommendation for you is to buy a dictionary and take some classes. I know you'll learn quickly because you have the idea and you're not afraid of speaking even if you don't say words right. In other words, you seem to be motivated.
Good luck!!
