How to learn Basic Spanish
It made me
EXTATIC 
"I took it in high school and keep trying to use it everyday so I don't lose it entirely "
How I did it: I took Spanish I my sophomore year and Spanish II my Junior year. I really like the language but don't use it everyday so I've lost a lot of it. I want to try to maybe re-learn it again with a friend so that I'll have somebody to talk to.
Lessons & tips: Keep using it, even when you don't need to. I try to think in Spanish as much as I can but I really need to get back into it. There are still times where I actually think "que hora es?" instead of "what time is it?"I use terms as often as possible. I tried counting in Spanish during my Algebra courses, but that didn't work out as well, lol.

Where am I?

I’m listening to podcasts daily and trying to glance the bilingual papers once a week to pick up key words.
I may not be comfortable speaking it but at least I’m not completely in the dark when I pass a conversation.
Now I just need to have the confidence to say a few sentences.

Spanish!

I’ve taken Spanish classes for over five years & it has proven to be worth it because so many people speak it where I live. Now that I know what it sounds like I can pick it out in a crowd more easily & have gotten better at my pronunciation just by listening. I’m getting better at grammar though I occasionally miss an accent mark or put a verb in the wrong tense. I’m better at reading/writing Spanish but I’m able to speak it about half as fast as a native as I may have to think about what I’m really saying sometimes.
This is a good site for learning basic to advanced Spanish through quizzes. http://a4esl.org/
This is a site that I’ve made with Spanish vocabulary.

my friend / neighbor maria is from spain and will soon move to Germany because her husband is in the military and will get stationed there… She is currently taking classes to learn German, and I want to learn Spanish because I know she can express herself better in that language like I express myself better in German…I want to learn more from her for she’s an awesome person!
