  1. Hey, from USA as well. I am a newbie as well and I hope this forum helps you with your language learning. I am here to learn Spanish and maybe some French.
  2. Wow you have been studying a long time. Surely you aren't a beginner like myself. Well I'm a newbie here as well and I hope you get what you are looking for out of this forum.
  3. I have used Dualingo and I love it. I have read a few of the post and a lot of you suggest Memrise. Do I download through the play store?
  4. Google translate, in my opinion, doesn't translate sentences well. I used it during my Spanish 1002 class and it was no help at all. It translates words and small phrases well though.
  5. I never heard of this. I'm sure that translator will hit mainstream and soon everyone will know about it. The idea was brilliant to create a software that translate conversations.
  6. I would love for my son to be bilingual because it will benefit him in the long run. I definitely thing children should learn to speak the language of their heritage.
  7. I have tried flash cards and they do work with single words. However, they aren't much help with sentences. I think I need to find a new approach to learning sentences and just use flash cards for words and short phrases.
  8. No matter how hard I listen to movies in Spanish with the subtitles, I can not comprehend at all. I learn better by reading in Spanish but still it takes me a long time so I become frustrated. I definitely need to improve my listening skills.
  9. I haven't checked the website yet but is Dutch one of the 8 languages?
  10. I am not a language teacher but I was advise to learn a language that will benefit me. I chose Spanish because it is the second popular language in the United States. It has similarities with the English language. I'm nowhere near an expert on these things but I think Spanish is easier.
  11. Silencio por favor --Means silence please. My Spanish teacher use to say it all the time in class.
  12. Wow, great website. My son just turned one and he speaks a few words so I will try to get him involved with your website!
  13. Hi, I'm also a newbie and I use to get bored with learning programs at home too. Welcome!
  14. I personally do not like Rosetta Stone. I got it free overseas on my deployment and I couldn't get into it. I learned more sitting down with my Spanish teacher which is unbelievable. I am I need of a new program ASAP
  15. Hey, did you create this game app? I'm downloading it now to show my support!
  16. As a beginner, I think the language you should learn depends on where you live. I stay in Georgia and I live around a lot of Spanish-speaking natives. I take Spanish classes and I am able to practice Spanish in my hometown. Although, it is also best to follow your heart as well. My sister take French courses because she loves it. There is no right or wrong answer to your question.
  17. I used Rosetta Stone for Spanish in high school and passed with flying colors. However, I'm in college and Spanish is my minor and Rosetta Stone is okay but not worth the money to me. I recently found out military can get it for free so maybe I will love it more once I no longer have to pay for it.
  18. Rosetta Stone is a great way to learn Spanish. However, I have heard a lot about Duolingo and I will have to give it a try myself. I have been trying to learn Spanish a long time now but no results.
  19. Thank you guys. I'm definitely going to download Duolingo because Google translate isn't doing it for me. Hopefully I can learn a whole lot more with this new app recommendation.
  20. I have learned from personal experiences that Google translate doesn't help much. I use it to check over my Spanish work and it always have the sentence mixed up. Sometimes it doesn't recognize some of the Spanish words from my textbook.
