Learning Spanish language: The Spanish Learners' Society!

I keep seeing people asking for advice about learning Spanish, and I've had some PM's too! So, I've decided to make a thread to get everyone together :smile:

Feel free to post, no matter what level you are! Ask any questions, introduce yourself...anything!

Adiós!

Hey all :smile:

I try to learn a bit of Spanish whenever I have some free time so I'm at a very basic level at the moment. So hopefully I'll find some good resources in this thread, as well as advice.
I think this is a brilliant channel for learning Spanish (though I believe it's Latin American Spanish) and the teacher is fantastic!

Hola todo! (does that even make sense lol)?

A former GCSE student here re-learning spanish potentially for use for work in South America in two years time. I'm using spanishdict.com and its been useful so far (even if the woman's voice is annoying! :tongue: ). So far i'm finding that readin text it comes back quite fast (e.g. the posts above), however, saying and writing stuff is very hard! Just can't remember the vocab i used to have. Lots of work ahead of me!

May ask a few questions if freetranslation can't answer them. For now, in my broken spanish (and before i've learned to type spanish characters - doing that tomorrow):

Por que aprenden otras personas espanol? Solo los examenes?

I like the look of this thread. :smile: Spanish sounds really sexy, and it's one of the most widely spoken languages, so I want to learn it! I know a decent amount of french, I'm hoping there's some overlap between the two languages... but otherwise, I'm gonna be trying to learn it from scratch :eek:
