Efrahinu19 Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 I'm trying to perfect the language so is it o.k. if I get tips from a friend or relative. In case they use improper grammar and pronunciation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandandesign Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 What do you mean by the question? I think the question needs to be revised a little. I don't really get what you're say here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgaz83 Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 If your friends and relatives are not fluent in Spanish, I wouldn't take too many tips from them. They might get it wrong or being trying to kid you. I would suggest looking up everything they tell you, just in case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petesede Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 Should you get advice from native speakers who are not teachers?not to be rude, but I would pay attention to their education level. I am probably a very intermediate spanish speaker living in a spanish-speaking country and I can already tell that a good portion of the population here does not speak proper grammar. Not only that, but the spelling is atrocious here. Things liks ´b´ and ´v´ are often mixed up.. and certainly ´ll´ is many times written as ´y´. Again, not to be rude, but think about it.. isn´t there a good portion of the US population that you wouldn´t want teaching english grammar.As far as pronunciation of individual words. much more useful.

Baburra Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 I think it is useful, yes, especially if they are native speakers. I'd only be skeptical if the person isn't fully native, and even then I'd only be a little skeptical. I think being a native speaker is almost as good as being a teacher of that particular language.
