Re:Re:Need help learning Spanish
Can I add anything here? hmmmm.... Well, I have to agree with the above situations and yet I feel that I need to add something to it. Speaking and listening are two very different things in any language. I studied Spanish for 6yrs and I can read and write it perfectly! But I couldn't speak it very well. My accent was bad and I hadn't had much practice. After school, I almost lost all of the language. I had noone to converse with and so the language went dead. Then I met someone who only spoke Spanish and I got alot of practice speaking to him daily. He helped me alot and it was totally different from being in school. I must say, it's far better to have someone to talk to than just learning on paper.
Ok that's my 2 cents! lol! Buena suerte senora!

Hi,

German is quite complicated but there are more complicated languages :)
Imagine that in Polish we have seven cases, we don't use
definite/indefinite articles but some suffixes added to noun/verb/adjective subject.
Good luck!

Re:Need help learning Spanish
Hola Janet
me llamo Amanda. Soy una estudiante de español estas mi tres año de español. Okay since your a starting off. My name's Amanda I am on my 3rd year of Spanish class and in my opinion. hablo un poco de español(I speak a little spanish) I highly doubt you can become fluent in 2 years unless you just limit your useage of english. I also agree with the TV and Music. Most Satilite companys have atleast 3 channels that are spanish only such as Galavision or Univision. Mexicano soaps are highly dramatic and often funny to watch. The music is great I love it! not the soap music just latino music in general. Might depend on your taste though. I am a bit younger than you so you may not like my Suggestions. Aventura(it's Bachata),Celia Cruz,Your should enjoy Celia most people do she had a beautiful voice She was known as the queen of Salsa. Another tip...Don't focus on getting it perfect...Have fun it's an amazing language and culture!
Hasta Luego!
~Amanda

Re:German question in grammer
Hmm, the German grammar is quite complicated. So here is the run down: German have three genders and four cases. all noun has a gender, whether it is male, female, or neutral. And then there are the cases, which depend on the sentence use.
1. Nominative - for example, subject:
zB: Das Buch gehoert mir.
2. Accusative - direct object
zB: Ich habe den Wagen.
3. dative - indirect object
zB: Ich schicke der Frau mein Buch. (der Frau is the i.o.)
4. Genitive - possession
zB: Das Auto des Lehrers ist kaputt. (des Lehrers)
Here is the important part: nouns do not change their genders. The definite articles der, die, das change their forms, but the genders remain the same. So for example, normal it is die Frau, but for dative and genitive die --> der. It is only the conjugation. The changes can be summarized as following, in above order:
m: der --> den --> dem --> des
f: die --> die --> der --> der
n: das --> das --> dem --> des
pl: die --> die --> den --> der
I hope this helps. Good luck with your german!

Re:German question in grammer
The reason is very simple: German-branch languages, French-branch
languages behave this way. You have to catch that each noun
has its own gender: masculine, femine, neutrium. If a noun is
masculine(like: father- der Vater) it will use its own type
of conjugation in singular (der, des, dem, den).
Femine noun like lady - die Frau in singular goes like:
die, der, der, der, die. Neutrium like horse - das Pferd
(der, des, dem, den). Plural uses only one way of conjugation.
BTW except des you had a postfix to noun: "s".
