improving grammatical skills?

Question

I've been trying to read some Spanish newspapers, and currently reading "El Mundo" from time to time. I can understand most of it, but I'm afraid I'm not getting any better at my grammatical skills. Where in this site (or other sites) can I find information on that kind of thing?

If I were you I would simply try to use the skills that I have by creating stories and talking.Then when I found that I had trouble with something,I would practice it until I was fluent and strong with it.Hope that helped :) - mtimbes, Nov 15, 2011

Answer 1

That's fine and dandy, but in order to get your grammar skills up, you need to become comfortable with the written language first.

Please, transcribe the same articles you are reading from Spanish to Spanish. Just by doing that it will start to sink in a bit more. You will become more acquainted with writing styles etc,

Then the second thing is to start reading out loud while recording yourself, and reviewing what you recorded, making adjustments to what you spoke as far as pronunciation goes and intonation, until you are more or less satisfied.

And lastly, you start writing in Spanish just from your mind (composing).

All of this will get you to be more fluent.

So I would basically be diong a Spanish summary in.. well.. Spanish? That's a great idea, and I think that will really help! Thank you! - Saphire, Nov 15, 2011

There is a very good resources section on here link text

And don't forget languages have a capital letter in English, so it should be Spanish.
