In Spanish, grammar is very important because 1 error can change the entire meaning of the sentence. I feel that grammar is the most important aspects of language learning. Foreigners are easily spotted with incorrect grammar. There are more rude mistakes that can occur with incorrect grammar. I feel that if I lacked the correct grammar of a language, I do not know that language, I only know the words of the language.

Sneakers, high heels, sandals, etc.

I know zapatos is just "shoes", but are there other words for other types of shoes?

I feel they are effective in learning the general language. Not as effective as a class or talking with native language speakers, but they do work. Rosetta Stone is the WORST however! I bought it to try my hand at Japanese a while back, it was really bad. I would find another if I were you in the market.

My native language is English. That being said, I feel that Mandarin, Japanese and various Indian languages are among the hardest. All those characters, all those sounds, it's just too much for me. I tried a class on Japanese in high school and dropped out in 3 weeks, I was so lost. I'd like to try again however.

I began to learn Spanish my freshman year of high school. I am a college junior now, and I still study Spanish.

I'm having trouble with apology words. Any help? Like when you bump into someone, you say "perdon" correct?

How exactly does Google Translate work so that it "knows" what to say in the first place? And why is it almost always wrong?

I feel Spanish is very important not only in the United States, but all over the world. I live in the US, so I encounter Spanish speakers almost every day. Being a nurse, knowing Spanish is essential to doing my job! I hope to master Spanish and travel to a Spanish-speaking country one day.
