Answer 1

Yes, it is different. It's too fast! I have spent more than one year learning, but I can only catch a few words here and there out of what other natives talk. But I speak slowly. Then they know that I don't know much. However, I am able to do what I want. Success!

I agree. 18 months of studying grammar and about 2 months worth of interacting with native speakers. I pick out words. I also speak slow, but my friend says my Spanish is about the same as her English. Her English is decent. - SaigeSmith, Aug 16, 2013

You have a good friend. I have also come across "algunas amigas bonitas!" - Raja-jani, Aug 16, 2013

Answer 2

Yes. The subjects and verbs are backwards but that's pretty much it.

Is this true? He went . . .. Él se fue . . .. Se fue . . .. Or am I missing something? - 00551866, Aug 16, 2013

Answer 3

I have looked at your profile but do not know where you are based or your level of English. I assume you are a fairly new learner of Spanish. Every language has its own rhythm. Without a lot of effort we tend to speak a new language with the rhythm of our native language. The rhythm of Spanish is different to English. The pronunciation of Spanish is much easier - you can learn how to pronounce the vowels [vocales] and the consonants then put them together. In English a word changes its meaning with a different stress for example invalid [a person who is ill] invalid faulty or not legal and there other ways pronunciation can be complicated . The word order is different to that used in English for example some adjectives go after the noun. It is a good idea to listen to lots of English and Spanish. Both languages have many words from Latin so there are some similarities. Do you have a specific question or doubt?
