Learning a second language

[Ragingrob]

Voy de copas - I'm going out drinking.

Quieres venir conmigo a cama? - Wanna come to bed with me?

Hasta la vista...baby - Oh fuck who is this cow in my bed, I'm outta here!

something has sunk in! :war:

Thoroughly recommend Cd's by Michel Thomas. He is a mighty strange geezer and I am a very poor student but it really worked for me. After a few short weeks I was able to speak and understand all the basics. Couldn't have a conversation in any depth, cause the Spanish speakers converse at 3 million miles an hour but restaurants , hotels ,driving directions , anything I needed to ask was no problem. He also points out the variations between Spanish and south American Spanish as you go.

Strange system but it does work. Good luck mate. http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/026-632911...link%5Fcode=qs

I've learned another language.

My advice is don't get too wound up trying to translate back into English. A lot of stuff just won't translate properly and keeping track of all the exceptions and nuances will just drive you mad. Better just to get stuck in, start speaking, and let it flow.

Oh. I forgot to add that the Rosetta Stone language learning system is very highly regarded.

It wasn't available for the language I learned. But people I trust say it is very good.

Total immersion is the way to go.
Try and stay with a family & get a job.

remember mistakes are fun, forget about being fussy about what you eat.
Always carry a dictionary.
