Answer 2

Michelle:

There are so many of us here that are " autodidactic" or self taught.

Begin with the lessons here, as you progress you will find many resources both here and on the net, Be patient and ask lots of questions, there are so many here willing to help and guide you. Begin your journey Michelle.

"Autodidacta" is a Spanish word. In English, it is autodidact (a person who is self-taught), with autodidactic as the adjectival form. - territurtle, Sep 15, 2011

Answer 3

Welcome to the forum Michelle, I am also like you and self taught. For me it takes time to learn and I would be crazy to try to pay someone to help me, I would go bankrupt. This site is fantastic and I'm sure you are going to do well here.

Answer 4

The best way to speak spanish, is speaking with someone that speak spanish, my first lenguage is spanish and I am learning english, I understand and I speak english but I'm trying to learn more.. you will get it, just follow my advice.. good luck

someone that speaks ("someone" is singular) - samdie, Sep 15, 2011

In English language names are captilized, so we have English and Spanish. Also language, not lenguage. - elainepnj, Sep 15, 2011

Answer 5

Possibly but probably not. Everyone else that has replied has assumed that you mean with the assistance of some sort of external aids (such as, this site) which, I think, makes it not by yourself but without the aid of a live teacher. By way of a warm-up exercise you might see if you can teach yourself to write "my self" as one word.

P.S. Your profile contains the following: ""im native american i love the spanish coultuer . For additional practice, you might want to change that to I'm native American. I love the Spanish culture." (or some equivalent of your own devising that is properly punctuated.).

Actually, Samdie, the word "autodidact" is defined as "self taught" (see http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/autodidact?show=0&t=1316129706). - territurtle, Sep 15, 2011

Answer 6

I have also found a Berlitz book, "Essential Spanish" to be fairly helpful. I am using both that and SD to learn.
