Re:Re:Spanish Lessons
¡Hola Rafael¡
Mucho gusto conocerle.
Buscó a la información que mencionó, pero, como yo, es usted muy prolífico, y no puedo revisar sobre tan muchas mensajes. Tal vez, si me puede dar un clave para una busca; por ejemplo, lo escribí yo mismo una mensaje, el número 45005, que al menos una persona he discubrió muy ayudante en el primer parrafo para tales cosas.
Muchas gracias por su servicio tan bondadoso!
recuerdos,

Spanish Lessons
¡Hola, todos¡ ¿Cómo están?
What's going on with the Spanish lessons around here? It looks like they petered out over the Christmas holidays and never really got going again.
So what's available? Do we have any students, teachers, anyone keeping an eye peeled in this thread?
I was wondering if it was possible that this thread had petered out because there wasn't a way for new teachers/students to find it. I don't know who would think to look for it here in Internet technology, unless there was some way for someone who knew to find the people who would want to know.
If we get enough interest, perhaps some of the students would be willing to monitor the new members and looking for partners areas, and notify the spanish speaking members that this is going on. Perhaps if enough of us clamored for a special Spanish language board area, we might get one.
Well, if anyone is still here, let me know what you think.

Re:Re:Re:Wonderful job!
Okay, now I just feel stupid. I meant to write the first one, but I thought I responded to the wrong message, thus the second post.

Re:Re:Wonderful job!
I would appreciate it, Rafael, if you continued your lesson. My Spanish teacher is on maternity leave, and our long-term substitute is dreadfully inadequate. I am in need of some intelligent instruction, but if you do not have the time, don't continue on my account. Gracias!

Wonderful job!
You've done an outstanding job there Rafael! It's great to see people like you, who are always helping out with whatever they can. It is somehow difficult to find this kind of persons nowadays, so it really brings a smile to my face when I see this behaviour.
I'll be more than pleased to provide assistance with spanish to anyone who needs some tuition, or just has a simple, or perhaps not so simple question.
Unfortunately, because of work, my time is limited, so I won't be able to manage to write any structured lessons like yours.
Cheers!

Re:Why don't we start with Spanish Lessons in this B. Board?
TIME TO PRACTICE:
Fill in the blanks with the correct answer: personal pronouns, correct definite or indefinite article, be careful with genders. we’ll use all what we’ve learned so far :)

Tú estas un estudiante también. / You’re a student too.
Ustedes estan buenos amigos / You’re good friends
Ella esta mi amiga / She’s my friend.
El perro es mi mascota / the dog is my pet.
Roberto, Miguel y Yo estamos Mexicanos / Robert, Micke and I are Mexicans.
México es mi país / Mexico is my country.
B) Complete the next chart with the corresponding Personal Pronoun in Spanish: eg We = NOSOTROS
I = Yo
You =Tu
He =El
She =Ella
It = lo
We = nosotros
You = Usted
They = Ustedes
C) Genders: Complete the sentence with its corresponding ARTICLE (definite)
El perro es bonito / dog-beautiful
La Casa son grandes / house-big.
El mano es pequeña / hand-small
Los abuelos / grandfathers

E) Fill in the blank with its corresponding verb, article, personal pronoun, take care of its gender :)

Profesora Mónica, usted (Personal Pronoun, formal) _____ Inglesa ó de Estados Unidos?; Yo estoy (to be) de Estados Unidos, pero mis papás estan (to be, plural) Ingleses. ______ (3rd Plural Personal pronoun) viven en _______ (definite article) ciudad de Londres.
F) Complete with the correct DEFINITE article, I’ll add the translation but I WON’T indicate if it’s male or female: e.g. EL carro, LA escoba

Re:Why don't we start with Spanish Lessons in this B. Board?
This is so great! I've been waiting for something like this. My Spanish 1 class is so easy, but that may be because my grandfather speaks Spanish, so I pretty much know everything we are learning so far. It'll be nice to have a challenge. Is it too late to join?

Re:LESSON 3: Definite and Indefinite Articles
My suggestion:
Since there is a lot of words common to english and spanish,try to activate this potential in the following way or in some other manner you find sutable:
In Spanish, the indefinite article has 4 forms, depending on whether the noun is masculine, feminine, singular or plural.
(spanish : español, indefinite : indefinido, article : artículo, form : forma, depend : depender, depending : dependiente, masculine: masculino, feminine : femenino, singular : singular, plural : plural)
Saludos

Internet -Is Yahoo better now?
Internet YAHOO
Para :Practicante de Español intermedio- Native English
Can you try to traduce this New into Spanish?
Pre-Listening Vocabulary:
crushing defeating easily
stellar extremely strong
Yahoo: Internet portal Yahoo has reported doubled net profits to $112.5m (£60.7m) for the three months to June. Yahoo said the rise came primarily from advertising revenue. But the figures failed to impress the markets, where recent share price gains had led investors to expect an even better performance. Yahoo stock dropped 12% in after-hours trading in New York as the firm’s sales outlook for the current quarter was judged to be disappointing. “After crushing numbers (in the previous six months) last year, everyone was expecting that the second quarter was going to be stellar,” said Martin Pyykkonen, an analyst at Janco Partners. “They didn’t blow anything away.”
=====
¿Do you like the Yahoo Portal? It is in my opinion one of the best, because you can keep more information in your mail ?
I hope your comments and your Spanish text
Regards, …MaryAponte
