Unknown word

Question

I ran across this word "Gustaria" that I can't find the definition for. I have no idea what it means which hampers my ability to decipher the meaning of the sentence it is in.

Answer 1

It's from the verb "Gustar" (to like)
"Me gustaría comprar esos zapatos" - I would like to buy those shoes.

Answer 2

Hi Frances,
De nada . Jejeje I'm like that aswell, only I learn best through self-study. The audio section of this site is really good and would help you tremendously in practising your listening. I tend to read almost every spanish tekst I read out loud to myself, which really improves your pronounciation because you get used to hearing yourself speak spanish and that removes the ackwardness you might feel at first .
Saludos, ChicaSabrosa

Answer 4

Chicasabrosa,

Thank you very much! I'm realy axious to learn Spanish. I've been taking the Rosetta Stone Course. I'm doing pretty good (as far as reading) but I must admit, I'm really having a hard time speaking it. I've decided to go over the course again only focusing on the speaking and listening lessons. I could probably hold a decent conversation if you had Que-Cards!

Answer 5

It means: would like and comes from the verb "gustar" which means "to like". Me gustaria... means "I would like"...
