I need some help. Im a 4.0 student, but Spanish is giving me some trouble. I really like the subject, even to the level of minoring in Spanish, but Im worried it will hurt my GPA. Any tips? Study habits? I know you mature TBer's have had Spanish, help out a n00b!

Here's what I know.

Cerveza, por favor!

Muchas gracias.




Those words have gotten me everything I have ever wanted.
Now, don't worry and go out into the world with what I have taught you.

True, me either. The hardest part, I think are the accent marks, etc.

Find the equivalent of talkbass (hablabajo?) in Spanish.
Seriously, find a forum about a subject you like, in Spanish. Talkbass has helped my reading and writing a lot (yeah, my writing used to be worse, believe me). If you want some "ear training", you can watch some movies or TV series with audio in Spanish, first with subtitles in English (to get a "feel" for the sounds), after that with subtitles in Spanish, and when you can understand almost everything you read you can watch them with subtitles in English again (this time trying to "reconstruct" things in Spanish), and them with no subtitles (it will take some months). Doing this things helped me a lot (we don't have many English speaking people around here. Maybe you could just go out and find some Spanish-speaking people who want to talk to you, it would be better).
Learning Spanish (properly) is one of the things I plan to do ASAP, we Brazilians and our Spanish-speaking neighbours have the terrible habit of thinking we can speak one another's language, with results that vary from funny to disastrous.
One more thing, we have many native Spanish speakers here @ talkbass, maybe one of them will want to talk to you in Spanish. Sorry I can't be of much help, contact me if you want to learn Portuguese instead...

"el" can mean the or he.
"que" means what, not for.
"Cerveza, por favor!" thats a good one, very very usefull
the best tip you can get is, speak with someone who is fluent in spanish.

Ese es, aunque desde luego de mucho menor calibre comparado con TalkBass (That's it, although of course of far lesser caliber compared to TalkBass).

Espero que te sirva de ayuda y no dudes en preguntar si tienes dudas (Hope that helps and don't hesitate to ask if you are in doubt).

En Espanol, por favor.

BTW, if you need the ñ, you can find it with alt 164 and alt 165 for Ñ. You may also need these:

á = alt 160
é = alt 130
í = alt 161
ó = alt 162
ú = alt 163
