Soy adicta al foro. Por eso estoy formando este grupo para dar apoyo a ellos (incluyendo yo mismo) de quienes necesiten una obligación de dar cuenta. Si ustedes quieren unir, simplemente nos digan sus metas inmediatas, y nos informen cuando sean terminadas. Usen qualquier idioma. Trateré hablar en inglés y español para practicar el español.

I am addicted to the forum. For this reason I'm forming this group to support those (including myself) who need accountability. If you would like to join, simply tell us your immediate goals, and inform us when they are completed. Use any language. I will be using English and Spanish so I can practice Spanish.

Mi meta primera es terminar el parte de escribiendo del cuaderno del internet de capitulo 6 de mi libro de texto. Estoy estudiando el secundo año de español de nivel universidad por estudio independente.

My first goal is to complete the writing portion of the online workbook for chapter 6 of my textbook. I am taking second year college spanish through independent study.

@Happyquilter: The present subjunctive is not used following conjunction "si" (desee → desea). - Izanoni1, Feb 16, 2011
Happy: "-ga" in Spanish takes a hard g. You need to change g to j to retain the "ha" sound. I also suggest you change your tense to an imperative in either vosotros or ustedes form since obviously you are addressing more than 1 person. - Deanski, Feb 16, 2011
Thank you! I have tried to make the corrections. Deanski, where is the "ga" that I need to change? - happyquilter, Feb 16, 2011
corríjanme (verb & direct object pronoun together) > corrígan me - Deanski, Feb 16, 2011
Please feel free to correct me. Por favor corríjanme si desean. - happyquilter, Feb 16, 2011
Thank you Deanski! I want to pay you! Jeje. Keep them coming. - happyquilter, Feb 16, 2011
@Happyquilter: jejeje...you changed your verb but kept the subjunctive: "Si ustedes quieran" → "Si (ustedes) quieren" - Izanoni1, Feb 18, 2011
Thank you izanoni. I think it is fixed now. I really appreciate all the help. It improves me! - happyquilter, Feb 18, 2011

Aha! so here is the S D anonymous support group. It was only a matter of time before it has to be started.

My goal is to become fluent in (at least ) mexican spanish, for several reasons, I live in northern México and the sooner and better I learn the less my wife will scold me!

But that is not my sole reason,I enjoy living here and only a very few of my friends speak english. My desire to communicate well (if not perfectly ) supercedes all other reasons and purposes.

sigh Dad tells me I could become a Spanish Translator.

Another sigh I only got a "C" and a "D" last term for Spanish.

Another sigh I want to learn Spanish, but I need a teacher that will actually explain things to me and not talk to me like I am slow, lol, yes my teacher at school does do that.

Oh and hey, grin Kiwi is going to be my teacher! So ignore everything I just said there because now I can learn Spanish! Yipieeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ehehehe

Hello Happy, I too took un mes y pico from spanish too. But I went to Spain thinking I would practice a lot. But we did a tour of Cataluñya and a lot of locals spoke Catalá.....so not a ton of Castellano practice. Anyway, welcome back!

Today makes 67 straight days of studying Spanish, and everyone notices the improvement. Also, my Mexican friends seem to know what I'm doing, as they are politely correcting my mistakes.

Hola,

Viajaré a España en dos meses. Por eso, estoy fijándome dos metas. Practicaré escribir cada día. También me uniré un intercambio en mi ciudad. Con suerte, aprenderé cómo hablar mejor. Gracias.

Hola. Buenos Tardes!

I am beginning Spanish lessons. I have only taken one lesson so far.

I am a travel agent, and specialize in Latin America. I would love to show people the respect of using their home language when I travel. My immediate goal is to learn enough Spanish to get around when I travel.

I am also a business management student. In the long term, I hope to take Spanish for Professionals and become fluent in Spanish so I am able to apply it in a business setting. . Gracias!

Adiós

Hola happyquilter, Gracias por este grupo.
Estudio sólo por el internet. Practico cada día, pero la mayor parte del tiempo, leo y escucho solamente. Necesito mucha práctica con escribir y hablar. Me gustaría unirme a este grupo para mejorar la escritura. No tengo ningún limite del tiempo. Gracias. Por favor, corrigeme si me equivoco.

Thanks for this group. I study alone through the internet. I practice every day, but mostly through reading and listening. I need practice with writing and speaking. I would like to join this group to improve my writing. I don't have any deadlines. Thank you.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.
