Spanish School

I’m taking the class in school (so no rosetta stone), My final is monday and I can’t find a good way to study.

like the person before me find some one who is a native spanish speaker and ask them to help you also when studying think of it as if you were learning it as your first language don’t think of it as english much i hope you understand what i mean

I took a spanish class but when I went to Mexico i learned that the class didn’t do any good for me. We just wrote alot and I need to hear it over and over again for me to remember. I’m just looking for something the lets you hear it and it’s free. Are there any?

livemocha.com is really good and free

there are so many.

It depends on your learning style.

Try searching "learn spanish free online", and check out the ones you find, until you find something that works for you.

Buena suerte.

SImple. I work in a factory where i don’t have to think much and i need something to occupy my mind. So, I have decided to learn spanish to start with, and then other languages later. Though, given the responses I recieve to this question, I might change which language I choose.

Congratulations! A wise thought.
But.. are you talking about podcasts? If that.. well.. I don’t know many for Spanish. Only two, and they are for rather advanced students. I’ve come found a very interesting Japanese one at http://www.japanesepod101.com .
Sorry for not being of help here.
Good luck!

I am looking for a nice but not too expensive language course in Spain, preferrably on the coast and ideally in Barcelona. I have found plenty of schools that claim to be the best but not sure how to pick the right one… Has anybody been there? Any recommendations?

I am in Spain at the moment, there is a particular thing about this place, since only a few spaniards can barely speak other languages, you will certainly learn fast, in other words you have 2 choices 1. Speak spanish 2. starve to death … so you will pretty much learn fast no matter the school…. however if you go to barcelona you will find a little situation, they speak Catalan there as first language (they speak perfect spanish as well) and they are very proud of the Catalan, there is a kind of rivalry between "Spain" and "Cataluña" (they are the same country legaly but not socialy) and sometimes you speak to them in spanish and they won’t answer you in spanish but Catalan, so you might wanna learn Catalan as well which is a mix between french and spanish, don’t worry is easy.

I took German in high school, and found it pretty easy to learn.

Knowing how common it is to run into someone who speaks German, but not English… (I’ve only met one…)

Knowing how common it is to run into someone who speaks spanish, but not English… (I have no idea how many I’ve met- lots!)

Any good places to look for cheap reliable spanish classes in Colorado?

Hi my name is Mercedes, i am from Argentina and spanish is my first language. Right now i am studying to become a nurse and i will be done in a year, but i eventually want to become spanish teacher. Since i am already fluent in spanish, would i have to take all the courses to get my bachelors? I just want to know what is it that i need to do to become a spanish teacher, anybody knows how it works?

I used to go to a school, where the spanish teacher, someone I knew, was hired just because he was a native Puerto Rican and knew Spanish. He did not have any degrees in teaching, but was good with children. The school needed a Spanish teacher, which probably helped him, but I think there is not requirement. This was a private school, and rules might be different with public schools though. Though in these times, I it might seen that even if you were the most qualified person in the world, it might be hard to find a open slot, with people clinging onto their jobs. But right now most of the schools in my area always have an open spot for someone with this talent. Good luck.

I am going on a solo backpacking trip to South America in January and I want to learn as much spanish as possible before I go. What are some cheap/effective ways to do this?
