Anyone interested in bartering introductory Spanish for something I can offer?

2008-03-17T11:32:11Z

Hello!

I hope you're well. I play music, I do graphic design, I create visual art, I can do hard labor, I can write/edit, I can take care of children, I can cook, I can drive, I can work with my hands, I listen/counsel well, and I'm moving to Miami in August. Is there anyone who might be able to help me learn some Spanish before I go, in exchange for something I could do for you? Thanks very much for any help!

Have a great day!

Rob

It's called "The Spanish Phrase of the Day". I discovered it while browsing the iTunes Music Store for spanish language podcasts (I access it through iTunes and not via the webpage link I've listed here). It's become my favorite podcast to listen to.

Know of any other good spanish language learning podcasts?

Does anybody know how to say the "grace before meals" in Spanish. I was able to find Spanish translations on the Internet for just about every Catholic prayer, EXCEPT THAT ONE. Very strange. There are probably many versions. Would be great to have English translation as well. GRACIAS AMIGOS.

Cita Diaria de Séneca

2006-10-18T05:32:49Z

Por mi clase de español tuve que preparar algo sobre Séneca, que llevó al España romana la filosofía estoica. Me parecen muy interesantes y modernas (o sea universal) unas de sus citas, y voy a compartirselas con Uds.
Por hoy:
Sea silencioso en cuanto a los servicios que ha rendido, pero habla de los favores que ha recibido.

For my Spanish class I had to prepare something about Seneca, who brought stoic philosophy to Roman era Spain. Several of his quotations are very interesting; they seem modern (or universal) and I will share them w/ you.
For today:
"Be quiet about the services you've provided, but speak out about the favors you've recieved."

..es muy interesante! Voy a tratar de explicarlo en español....y hoy me falta mi lista de "accent marks" por la computadora...che!
City College de San Francisco ofrece esta semana, por la primera vez, una clase Spanish 5: Spanish Culture and Civilaztion. Ensenada como una clase en conversacion, no se usa un texto, sino el libro/ensayo largo de Carlos Fuentes, "El Espejo Enterrado." Fuentes lo escibio por los quinientos del "descubrimiento de América" para explorar los raices de la cultura hispanoamerica en la de Espana y la de los indigenas.
Es un libro algo dificile. Debo leer quizas un mitad del capitula, para lengua y temas, pues vuelvo mas tarde para leerlo otra vez para los ideas. Pero es muy interesante y provoca muchas conversaciones calinetes en nuestra clase!

Getting The Accent

2006-08-09T20:32:58Z

Hello,

Does anyone have any tips on getting the? (I love the way SAmericans speak) When I was younger I could roll my "rrrrrrrr" and spoke in a melodic form, especially when I was mimmic my babysitter. 15 years later and I don't like the way I ennuciate or sound. No offense, but I sound like a Gringa who is learning Spanish.

On the other hand my friend only know a few words, but he gets compliments all the time from native Mexican speakers . They believe he is fluent and start chatting w/ him right away. Then.. he'll get the "deer in the headlights" look when he can't get past.. "un burrito por favor... no cebollas, no cilantro.. or " yo quiero un burrito... " or "como estas".
He has a great deal of confidence and he's comfortable because he studied acting for many years and practiced with various accents (cockney, irish etc...)

When I speak.. It doesn't sound as nice. Native speakers will stop and study me intently.. Sometimes correct my ennunciation. Sometime I get a compliment now and then. I know confidence in speaking the language is a big factor.

Anyone out there have any tip? ONe girl told me she learn to relax her tongue and mouth after having a glass of wine. Though her husband is from Peru so I'm sure his accent has rubbed off on her.

They're definitely pricey, though... so I'm trying to get opinions from people other than the ones quoted on their web site. =)

una pregunta

2005-05-06T18:08:12Z

Hola gente. I apologize for what's going to be a long posting. I have a grammar question:

I could use some help/clarification on the uses of future imperfect and conditional. Conditional in spanish is pretty much the same as conditional in English – you generally use it when you would use “would”. It can also be used to make polite requests. However, from what I understand the future imperfect can also be used to indicate uncertainty/hypothetical situations. I find it confusing, since I’m not clear why you would choose one over the other. In an exercise book that I have, here are examples that are given before an exercise used to practice distinguishing between the use of future imperfect, future perfect and conditional for a hypothetical situation:

El futuro imperfecto, el futuro perfecto y el condicional se utilizan para formula hipótesis en el presente y en el pasaso:

a. ¿Has visto a la niña?
b. No, pero estará en su cuarto

a. ¿Que hora es?
b. Son las siete. A estas horas Pedro ya habrá llegado a París.

a. ¿Ayer por la tarde llamé a Concha y no estaba en casa.
b. Estaría en clase de cerámica.

I get the future perfect – it’s the same as future perfect in English, basically translating as “by now he already will have arrived”. But I don’t get the difference between the 1st and 3rd examples. Why couldn’t you use estaría in the first case or estará in the last example? Does it have to do with the fact that the third example is referring to the past tense? Or is that not important at all?

Can you say something like “generally the conditional is used if you want to say “would” and the future imperfect is used in situations where you would use “should”? Any help??

spanish language tutor/school in merida

2005-04-11T22:33:26Z

I speak conversational spanish: big vocabulary, limited grammar. I've traveled alone before and got along, probably mostly because I have good comminication skills.

I'm planning a trip to Merida in the Fall. Ideally, I'd like to do a one-week intensive spanish course tailored to my particular skills. A personal 1:1 tutor might be best.

I plan to spend another two weeks traveling--mayan culture, some snorkeling etc. Does anybody have recommendations? Input welcome on the language tutoring aspect, as well as lodging, excellent snorkeling spots, etc.

I am writing a letter of inquiry to an english language school in a spanish speaking country and I'm not sure of the best language to use. I've got the "Estimada Sra. ____" part and that's about it. What are the best ways to say the following:

open/available positions for english teachers - should I say "estoy escribiendo para preguntar acerca de puestos de enseñar" (puestos abiertos?) Is preguntar the best word for 'inquire' or is informarse a better choice?

How do I describe my degrees? Does one say "tengo un título/licenciatura de ___" ? or is it more correct to say "Soy licenciado en _____"?

How does one correctly state that you have a master's degree in xyz? is it "Soy maestria de ____" or do you say "tengo un título maetrio de _____"

Otras sugerencias para escribir cartas de negocios?

muchas gracias!

¿Qué significa esto?

2005-02-22T15:19:37Z

A veces mis amigos (Salvadoreños) dicen algo como "donde seas" or "que seas" en respuesta a una pregunta como "donde vamos a cenar?"

**Creo** que ellos usan el verbo ser, en el subjuntivo. (Esto es lo que creo que oigo, pero tal vez entiendo mal).

Porque el verbo ser?? Y estan diciendo "seas" o "sea"? Es decir "cuando seas" as in "whenever you will be/whenever you will like/have it?" o es decir "Whenever IT will be" ??

Gracias por la ayuda!!

Me llamo Anita. Soy Americana. Hace mucho años que no hablé español. Se me olvidó las palabras y también las reglas de la gramática. Espero que me puedan comprender!

A ver, tengo 33 años y vivo en Maryland, EEUU. Trabajo en una universidad y soy "investigadora". No sé como puedo explicar mi trabajo en español. Estudio el cerebro y los idiomas.... pues, necesito encontrar palabras mejores.

Mucho gusto!

Comó se dice...

2005-02-10T08:06:11Z

Comó se dice "years ago"?

Quiero escribir "Empezaba estudiando español 7 YEARS AGO"

Also, how do I type the upside down "!" and "?"? I've read instructions regarding the US Internatgional keyboard, which suggests I simply hold ALT while typing the desired key, however, this does not work.

Gracias

Tengo la letra de una cancion de Jose Luis Perales. Me encanta muchissimo. Pero, no entiendo una parte. Ojala' que me puedan explicar el sentido de estas espresiones. Aqui' estan:
"Yo se' que tienes celos de mi guitarra, yo se' que tiemblan tus manos cuando me ves abrazarla asi, yo se' que tienes nina, herida el alma. No puede ser mi adolescencia paso' dormida esta' como un nino entre unos libros que nunca aprendi', (OK, entiendo todo esto, pero la proxima parte, no exactamente) "reque'rdame y vive tus quince anos, yo te prometo sonarlos, adios..." que' esta' diciendo acerca de los quince anos, y todo? Gracias, tipos Lueguito, Cata

musica o videos para aprender

2004-11-23T17:26:05Z

I haven't been exposed to Spanish in over a year. I'm planning to take Spanish 3 as an online course in Feb. I REALLY need to brush up on my Spanish before then. I have a newborn baby, so using workbooks is a little difficult for me at this time as I rarely have two hands free. I'd love some suggestions for music I could buy and espicially VHS or DVD courses I could watch while nursing my baby. I want to expose myself to a lot of Spanish in hopes that will help me re-learn.

Pardon me for writing in English, but as i mentioned my Spanish is well below par at the moment, and I wanted to ensure I got my points across clearly.

TIA!

2004-11-22T12:09:16Z

Tengo la esperanza de llegando en noviembre, por eso estudio mucho en español antes de mi llegada. Viviré en Barcelona, y trabajaré en Sant Cugat del Valles.

Me ayuda a leer sus mensajes. Por ahora, no necesito la ayuda particular. Deseé introducirme a usted todo.

En el futuro, si no objetaren, es posible que yo tuviere algunas preguntas sobre uso español.

(No me gusta la manera que el teclado interpone los espacios delante de los acentos. Hace difícil de leerlo.)

Leonardo Favio

2004-09-10T02:08:11Z

Conocen al cantante, Leonardo Favio? Me encantan TANTO sus canciones romanticos!!!! Al principio, yo tenia dificultades en coger sus palabras, pero vale la pena de escuchar hasta que venga el entendimiento. Mis favoritos de sus canciones son <Ella, Ella se me olvido>, <O quizas simplemente le regale una rosa>, y <De Pronto Sucedio>. Soy una persona muy romantica, y supongo que por esto me gusta tanto este tipo Y su musica!

No puedo creer que nadie le interese la poesia en espanol. El espanol sirve mas que muchos otros idiomas para expresar la poesia. La poesia ha sido un parte intregal de la cultura mexicana por mas de dos mil anos. En los tiempos antiguos, la gente precolumbiana la decian "flor y canto" y los poetas eran miembros muy respectados en la communidad. Un poema favorito mio era de la cultura nahuatl.

El rio pasa, pasa.
Nunca cesa.

El viento pasa, pasa.
Nunca cesa.

La vida pasa, pasa.
Nunca regresa.
-anonimo

Pregunten qualquier hispanohablante que conocen. Si quisiera realizar su meta de aprender espanol, deberia estudiar la poesia. OK

Spanish soap operas

2004-07-16T14:30:45Z

Hola!

My Spanish teacher has said on several occasions that the best way to learn Spanish is to get hooked on Spanish soap operas. Apparently, the soaps method worked very well for her when she moved to Seattle from Costa Rica. She said her English improved the most when she watched All My Children every day.

We, her students, should watch soap operas in Spanish (or any other desired language) because they:
1) are overacted, so you don't have to catch every word
2) have simple dialog and often easy stories
3) are predictable yet addictive

I don't have cable, but a friend of mine is willing to tape stuff from Univision.

Sooo.....can anybody recommend any shows?

la poesia

2004-07-04T03:18:39Z

quien le gusta la poesia? Tal vez podemos compartir nuestra poesia en este tribe. Un poema mio:

UNA CENA DE NOTICIAS
Nos sirven el miedo picante.
Lo comemos lentamente
frente al televisor.
Lo creemos.
Lo compramos.
Lo frotamos en nuestros ojos ciegos.

Subimos el volumen hasta que no podamos oir
la voz del viento,
la cancion de la luna,
el trueno de la esperanza de los ninos.

Nos sirven un postre de mentiras,
dulce y sedante.

Pero no podemos tragarlo,
la verdad nos asfixia.

I'm so glad you've joined this new tribe. What are your experiences with Spanish? I am a student studying Spanish. I hope to get into the Latin American Literature program at UCSC, so I can integrate my love of both lit. and Spanish.

I'm currently attempting to read my first book in Spanish. I'm reading Lemony Snickett's young adult series, A Series of Unfortunate Events, en español.

Looking for a teacher

2004-04-07T18:37:18Z

I'm in search of a Spanish teacher who is reasonably priced for a beginner. I'm between PCH & Woodland Hills.
I've been in contact with a guy from Argentina, but I'm unsure if I should be learning that dialect(?) I'm spending a month in Spain in Sept., so I would prefer someone from Spain, but what I've found is the two teachers I've spoken w/from Spain are charging $30 an hour. Does that sound about right?
Thank you for your input

Share travel experiences, talk about films or books in Spanish or absolutely anything else we feel like discussing. Feel free to post in English or Spanish or both.

Spanish tutor in Seattle?

2004-04-07T10:35:49Z

I would like to continue practicing my Spanish since I plan on buying property in Mexico and perhaps living there maybe half the year, eventually. However, I live in Seattle and not many gringos here speak Spanish. I still consider myself a beginner, although I can oftentimes have a very slow and tedious 30-minute convesration in Spanish (it gets the job done). My goal is to become fluent. I am looking for a social group here in Seattle that regularly gets together to speak Spanish (to learn Spanish), or perhaps an individual from Mexico who would like to make some extra cash by hanging out with a gringo and teaching him Spanish while walking about Seattle. Taking classes drives me nuts, and it's not cheap. I am used to learning Spanish by hanging out with people who speak it. If you have any info., please post. Thanks!
