¿Como estudian?

Question

¿Todos estudian con SpanishDict solamente, o cómo estudian? ... ahora estoy estudiando en un colegio de la comunidad, pero creo que es caro para lo que recibo ... justo encontré esto sitio el otra dia, pero estaba pensando en tratar Fluenz o LoMasTV o webspanish.com y justo ahora aprendí sobre livemocha.com (pienso que me gustaria Fluenz mas que Rosetta Stone) ... pero no sé si necesito algo además de SD? ¿Tienen algún consejo?

Answer 1

I have always been an autodidactic and keep up to date with all the Spanish language learning sites, and media materials of all kinds being sold in every price bracket.

The best concentrated set of learning tools are located right here at SpanDict.

Answer 2

Your Spanish is good! Pienso que además de ir a la escuela, puedes combinarlo con SD (remember, it's free) y aqui puedes aprender y practicar (and have fun at the forum, chat and skype with others members). Asi que si te organizas, puedes seguir asistiendo a la escuela, tomar un curso y visitar SD cuando tengas tiempo (or to proofreading your homework). Don't forget to watch Spanish movies and tv programs, listen to and sing along with videos on you tube and very important, practice "La practica hace al maestro".

"Practice makes the master". - 00a4c226, Jun 26, 2011

Gracias Coffeelate!! ;) Pero por que editas mi pregunta si mi espanol es bueno? ;) Just Kidding! Thanks for the help as always!! (will respond to your message soon- gracias!) - comosedice, Jun 27, 2011

...listen [to] and sing along with videos on youtube (with Spanish lyrics... (la "to" es opcional. por eso está entre los "[ ]" simbolos.) - webdunce, Jun 27, 2011

...with other members...(los adjectivos en inglés no necesitan estar de acuerdo en número con sus sustantivos.) - webdunce, Jun 27, 2011

A mí, me suena mejor si es incluida la "to" en "listen to and sing along with". - webdunce, Jun 27, 2011

Muchas gracias Webdunce :D - 00a4c226, Jun 27, 2011

Is that part of the purpose of this site, people just correcting/helping with each others grammar wherever and whenever? - comosedice, Jun 27, 2011

Answer 3

Amiga,

I would continue taking your classes. It's important to learn about pronounciation.

I would also continue your membership at SpanishDict. It's free, it has wonderful lessons, it has fantastic flashcards, and wise members willing to answer your questions.

If your budget allows, I suggest you take a look at these books. Book 1&Book 2&Book 3 They have helped me a lot.

Listen to some Spanish music [on the radio, your iPod, YouTube]. I really like "Niña Bonita", "Colgando en Tus Manos", y "Loca". Niña Bonita

Colgando en Tus Manos - this song is...beautiful.

Loca - Spanish Version

If you can, maybe watch some television in Spanish [I think they have CNN in Spanish. I'd recommend a news channel in Spanish over a television show in Spanish. The newscasters won't really use slang.]

Be sure to check in on the forum. You may see a Skype chat in the works [you'll be able to chat with native speakers. That's great practice!]. Also, ask questions on the forum!

Keep on working towards becoming fluent! Good luck!

Gracias SonrisaDelSol-- Yo se los canciones! :) Pero yo nunca miro a Youtube :) ... siempre me pregunto, es "Nina Bonita" sobre sus hijas o sus nuevas... ahora yo se! :) - comosedice, Jun 27, 2011

The "Practice Makes Perfect" books are excellent. - LaBurra, Jun 27, 2011

Comosedice -- I always wondered that, too! And LaBurra, I completely agree. They are fantastic! - SonrisaDelSol, Jun 27, 2011

I meant "novias" but you probably gathered that-- glad to hear I'm not the only one- thought it might've been obvious to people who can understand the entire song ... what would you say is special/unique about "Practice Makes Perfect"? - comosedice, Jun 27, 2011

Practice Makes Perfect really breaks the topic down. It has excellent practice problems, with the entire answer key in the back. It's a fabulous practice book/workbook. - SonrisaDelSol, Jun 27, 2011

If you were going to buy them, I suggest maybe just buying one at first...you know, just to see if you like it (I'm sure you will :P). - SonrisaDelSol, Jun 27, 2011

Answer 4

Fluenz es muy bueno, tiene profesores nativos con una excelente pronunciación. y un buen software de enseñanza.

No dejes de visitar spanishdict.

Good luck

Thanks tomas-xenix... I did really like the look of Fluenz. Then I found this site right after I found Fluenz, and I thought, I wonder if I should pay for Fluenz since this is free?! - comosedice, Jun 27, 2011

Answer 5

Leo, leo, y luego leo un poquito más.

Lee lo que te interese. La gente se burla de wikipedia pero me encanta para el aprendizaje de idiomas. Allí puedes leer en español lo que te dé la gana. Es importante aprender vocabulario en contexto, creo, y lo de leer mucho te ayudará a conocer mejor el idioma y sus reglas. Es más provechoso de lo que puedes imaginar.

¡Qué verdad! - territurtle, Jun 28, 2011

Answer 6

Hablando de español libre, presté Pimsleur II y III en la biblioteca. Me ayudó mucho con hablando.

También, se puede matar dos pájaros de un tiro por enseñando inglés a los hispanoblantes.

Gracias Carcar (por el expresion nuevo tambien :) - comosedice, Jun 27, 2011

No hay ningún problema. - carcar, Jun 27, 2011

Answer 7

Mi clase de español se canceló esta noche (¡un media hora antes de la clase!). - Uno ejemplo de mi insatisfacción con la comunidad colegio :(

Answer 8

Gracias a todos. Desafortunadamente, todos dicen algo diferente ¿Por supuesto, no?

Answer 9

The Practice Makes Perfect books are available for Kinlde too which is handy.
