Learning Spanish language: The Spanish Learners&#x27; Society!

Original post by Isildur1

If you're not using duolingo.com, you're doing it wrong.

It's good, and I like the layout and skill trea. However, if it had native audio recordings instead of the text-to-speech audio be much, much better.

I help you :smile:

" Hola, soy novato con el español y quiero aprender más. Creo que puedo mejorar mi vocabulario y gramática si converso con otros estudiantes.

En este momento estudio francés y literatura. En El próximo septiembre iré a Dijon para mi año de estancia en el extranjero. ¡Me encantaría conversar con todos vosotros!"

I hope this could help you. Feel free to PM me if you have any doubts.

Muchos gracias! Aprecio tu ayuda :smile:

Hey, I'm looking for a native Spanish speaker as a sort of 'pen pal', seen as I'm currently doing A Level Spanish (hopefully moving onto A2) to help improve my grammar and my fluency. Admittedly I'm not amazing, (according to my AS results) but hopefully you can help!

Being a native English speaker I can also help with learning that if you're interested, so it can be a two way thing!

Hello! I posted this in the Polyglot & Multilingual thread, but I thought it might get more responses if I also posted it here. Thank you! :smile:

This might sound a little silly, but can my fellow linguists assess my Spanish accent? I want to sound as much like a native speaker as possible, and I need some honest feedback. Below are two links to 2 voice recordings of me reading lessons from my Assimil Spanish with Ease. The text I'm reading might sound strange but just ignore that. When I speak I think my accent is OK but then when I record it and play it back to myself, I think it sounds really...English. What can I do to improve? Please tell me honestly. :smile:

Here you have a Spanish native trying to improve his English, so if you need help I might give you hand :wink:

Hello!,

I am a Spanish native and I have just listened to your voice recordings and you really do it quite good!. I'm going to re-record the same text to let you know the different.
A sort advice: Try to join the pronunciation of some of the words like "Y qué hacíamos..."

Thank you Caburn! :h:

If you could re-record what I said and then upload it here; that would be such a massive help! I think in English it is called 'Synalepha' or 'sinalefa' in Spanish..I know about it but sometimes I forget about it. :colondollar:

I must practice it more. :smile:

I'm afraid now I'm being deterred from taking Spanish A-level, and am being forced to take a more 'proper' subject. :frown:

What? Spanish is a 'proper' subject. Anyone who tells you otherwise clearly has no idea what they are talking about.

Hi,

I am wondering how good I will be at Spanish if I had an hour one-to-one Spanish lesson with someone who is fluent in Spanish everyday for the next 3 years (including holidays and weekends)?

I am already fairly good at French, having secured an A star at A level.

Any help would be much appreciated!
