Ok ok ok I am not fluent by any means but I have a guatelaman wife and actually spanish is easier than English just because you know English doesn't mean you can't speak spanish. First I recomend you learn the spanish Alphabet. 99.9 Spanish words are pronounced just like they are splet. It comes from latin unlike english. Por ejemplo(for example) in the marines they say "Semper Fidalis" or something Im not a marine but it means "Always Faithful" break it down Semper(latin) Siempre(spanish) Fidalis(fidelidad)

Just a quick thing that helped me but there are different types of embarrasment 1.If you want to say, "That's sort of embarrassing for me." you will want to say, "Eso es un poco vergonzoso para mí."

  1. If you want to say, "That's so embarrassing!" say, "Que vergüenza!"

3 If you want to say, "I'm so extremely embarrassed!" say, "Estoy sumamente avergonzado! or avergonzada if your a girl.

In spanish they keep it simple, there are a lot of cognates(words that are spelled the same just said differently por ejemplo (importante) basically the same word with an e but in spanish sounds totally different

Not sure you should give someone who says "screw this site" the best vote. - Tosh, Oct 2, 2011
No entiendi? i'm confused with this language and protocol of this site - RParrett, Oct 2, 2011
I just wanted to close the question as it seemed another stupid one, i didnt mean to favour any response - RParrett, Oct 2, 2011
I'm on board with Tosh on this one...is there any way to reverse the 'best answer' vote? :) - cristalino, Oct 2, 2011
Just for the record, I don't believe there is any way to completely erase previous versions.... - cristalino, Oct 2, 2011

Plug "embarrassment" into the site dictionary and voilà! Go for it! There is a term there that is close to embarazada, but to the best of my (limited) knowledge, not frequently used or less in this instance.... raspberry

Parles vous francais? - RParrett, Oct 2, 2011
Sadly no, RP... though I wish I had some command of French back in 2009 while traveling through the French countryside! Oh mon Dieu! - cristalino, Oct 2, 2011
Its just I speak a little French yet am struggling with Spanish and thought a different language perspective may help - RParrett, Oct 2, 2011
