WINKY,

im using a website, www.studyspanish.com right now. seems to be a pretty easy language to learn so far. im learning lots of sentences like, this is my pencil. my pencil is on the table. is there a pencil on the table?

lol. not sure that stuff will help in the real world, but i guess its a start.

Spanish is a lot easier to learn if you took Etymology and/or Latin in High school or college. It'll help with word definitions. Sentence structure, if you know English well, should almost come naturally as Spanish is not as strict in that regard.

Personally, I think those online methods are garbage because they do every little thing and then do it again. IMO you're better off buying a dictionary with conjugations and watching Univision while at the same time consulting with your dictionary. Be careful though, as the slang on most of those shows is geared toward the Mexican viewer and that slang might not be valid with other Latin America speakers.

Patriot is exactly right... immersion is by far the best way to go. Or you could get a maid that speaks only Spanish....that'll make you learn it quickly.

yup exactly.. .get a maid, a mistress, p.t. hooker or a girlfriend who speaks it. you can start off asking "what's this in spanish? what's that in spanish?" until you work your way up to advanced which is watching the spanish channel together. justbe careful with your diet, they eat a lot of fried foods and most dishes are carbohydrate based

I don't think that'll make him learn it quickly, but it is stil a good idea. Maybe he'll get to bang her every other day.

buscais por un buen español..
o simplemente un dialecto de el?.

Para empezar debeis de checaros las raices del latin. y luego si os solicitais ayuda de un profesor, os recomiendo un chileno, un tico o mejor aun un español... caso omiso es un dialecto muy mal empleado.

Depends on what you want to learn. You can learn pretty quickly a prescribed set of Spanish knowledge, stuff that gets you by in a city's hotels, cabs, restaurants...tourist Spanish. Learning stuff so you can have good conversations is tough, Spanish is just so structured differently than English. I have been working on it informally for 6 years now and can write it in a way most people can understand my intentions, but I still make a ton of errors. My spoken Spanish is a bit weak, but the good thing is all Spanish speakers are just happy you tried. Try that with those French @#!$!#$ I remember in Montreal I tried to ask some simple questions in French, out of courtesy because I took it in school. After about a sentence I got "please just use English". So much for trying, they can't stand a mistake or two to their precious language!

BTW, if you start talking like Newbie in Mexico they will think you are either a priest or a snob!

I agree with Rob Funk, find a nice latina, still wet from crossing the River(Mexico/Central America) or the sea(Cuba), and she will teach you good spanish among other things!
