         El mono ardilla común (Saimiri sciureus) es un primate del Nuevo Mundo de la familia cebidae nativo de diferentes países de Sudámerica: Colombia, Ecuador, Brasil, Guayana Francesa, Guyana, Perú, Surinam, Venezuela y Puerto Rico.

South american monkeys are one of my favorite things about the whole tropical climate and rainforest. This is one of the many reasons that i want to speak spanish , what do you guys think? what motivates you?

Well my reason will sound pretty idiotic to many people. I love football. I am a huge fan of fc Barcelona. I just want to understand what do the players say in interviews etc. I have many other reasons but i guess this is the main one. I really love spanish accent. I also plan on writing a song in spanish once I learn it properly.

Dear CarsonEM, I love the Spanish language, I love to listen to spanish music, all kinds, and I love the accent of the Spanish language, it is so beautiful, I know I will never tire of it, the people in general are very passionate, and I think today we lack passion in our society in many levels. It appeals to me very much.
Thank you for the question, Pam

I find that learning Spanish has been a great mental excercise and a wonderful hobby. It has allowed me a path to help others to learn English, as well as make new and interesting friends in the Hispanic community.

I want to learn Spanish because it is a beautiful language and I love the culture. What motivates me is the knowledge that the more I work at it, the better I'll get. smile

I just love the sound of it. I also like the thought of being able to speak and understand more languages / understand what others don`t. I am also fascinated by the hispanic culture.

What fuels me most is working on my spanish blog: enter link description here

It really keeps me going and forces me to practise, practise and practise more grin

Learning Spanish is something I have to do. I really love it and I love talking to my Spanish friends. I had no idea when I started learning Spanish 2 years ago that it would become such a big part of my life, but it has. You never know what might happen. I got to go to Peru last summer and I wasn't expecting it. And being able to visit sites like this every day is a big part of what fuels my Spanish. Vamos a hablar español. Come on everyone, let's speak Spanish.

I am a 3rd grade teacher and most of my students' parents speak only in Spanish. I would love to be able to hold my own conferences without a translator and communicate on a day-to-day basis with them better.

En español... Soy una maestra de tercer grado y casi todos los padres de mis estudiantes hablan solamente en español. Quiero a tener mis conferencias sin un interpreter y quiero comunicar con los padres diariamente mas bien.
